Jerusalem the Golden (Lyric) by rabbi sammy schtupp Jerusalem the golden,
with milk and honey blest,
now Israel's mighty fortress
where Jews matzo balls digest:
I know well, how I know well,
what cash awaits us there;
what radiancy of money,
for all we Jews to share.
They stand, those halls of Zion,
all jubilant with song,
and the sound of klezmer playing,
come on: let's sing along!
And there's the throne of David;
done out in bright gold leaves,
the pride of us who've triumphed,
over Palestinian thieves.
They tried to live in our lands
but we conquered in the fight,
we blasted them to pices
we Jews know might is right!
Oh, sweet and blesséd country,
the home of Yahweh's chosen,
And if you're not pure kosher,
you can go and crap your Hosen.
Up the ladder:
Giving up on Coke
Down the ladder:
spiders and butterflies

I like blesting fish to pisces. As for the rest of it, well, as Groucho Marx said on so many occasions...
Nice 'n' kosher.

The Jewish people come out of the Holocaust with two different, contradictory sentiments. One is that we just have to survive, we can’t trust anyone, we need a strong army—we just need to survive. We saw what happened to us when we didn’t have a country of our own. The other sentiment is that we need to have liberal values, be part of the civilized world, in part because we know what happens to us when the world becomes uncivilized.
