Jewdas event

If you scroll down to the post below this on you will see that Jewdas and Heeb magazine are having a joint event called Punk Purim on 18/3/2006.

The Jewdas site has a few updates since the last time I wrote about it.

Here are some snippets:

On the Union of Jewish Students and anti-semitism:

In a statement this morning, the Union of Jewish students called for a rise in anti-semitism on campus. “Its deeply shocking”, said Mitchel Simmonstone, the pie laden chair of UJS, “Some universities are seeing almost no Jew hatred at all, which makes it very difficult for us to pursue our work. In the good old days of Al-hamajaroun, Friday night meals were full of propaganda suceptible young yidden, whereas now they seem to building their own identities outside our watchful eye.

On the used-to-be Jewish East End:

Senior Jewish figures today united in condemning recent claims that some Jews were still happily living in the East End of London, and pledged to slap gagging orders on those East Enders claiming Jewish heritage.

The need for removal of Jews from the East End after the Second World War was a result of the threat posed by the building of illegal Muslim settlements on Brick Lane, E1. Acknowledging the inability of Jewish people to live surrounded by other ethnic groups, especially those in lower income bands, the flight to the Northern suburbs began. As The Board of Deputies said at the time, “There is a serious risk that pressure would be put upon us to contribute to charitable organisations that do not solely benefit Jews. That tzedakah 10% is not easy to part with, and it would compromise our Jewishness to have to give it to mixed-faith ommunities.”

On Sharon's final wish:

In an unconventional move, likely to anger Palestinians, Sharon does not wish to be buried, but will in fact nobly continue tackling the Arab-Israeli conflict after death. He plans to fully embrace the role of his nickname by becoming an IDF bulldozer.

It is revealed that Sharon has been in contact with freakish Dr. Gunther von Hagens of Bodyworlds fame, who will use an extra strong version of his groundbreaking plasticisation of the human body. He intends to render the ex-PM, who has been honing his massive bulk over decades, into the shovel of a bulldozer.

Also involved in the venture is the American company Caterpillar, arch enemy of the Archbishop of Canterbury. A spokesman from the firm confirmed that the Sharon bulldozer was “nearing its final stages”, adding "it is of huge importance for both us and Ariel to remain at the cutting edge of home-destroying technology."
