If the the Zionist apartheid wall is not
protective enough for the Zionist state Gilad Atzmon
has a better idea with a conclusion:
"They all agreed
that such a solution would fit nicely with the concept of modern Jewish life
in general and Zionism in particular. Israelis love the sea. Israelis are not
afraid of water. Once the entire Israeli society is covered with water, no one
would ever consider throwing them to the sea."
Following
the IDF difficulties in defeating Hezbollah’s and Hamas’s ballistic warfare,
the Israeli Government is now searching for contractors with some advanced
experience in large scale reinforced concrete constructions. The mission ahead
is the building of a solid concrete roof over the entire Jewish State (known
as ‘Greater Israel’). PM Ehud Olmert is determined that the only way to defend
Israel’s populated area is to cover the Jewish State with a thick layer of
iron and cement.
The Israeli Government’s decision to build a concrete roof followed a
considerable debate within the cabinet. Defense Minister Amir Peretz insisted
that a massive extension of the current Security Wall would be enough to
provide the goods. Peretz maintained that a substantial increase of the wall
to the height of 90,000 ft. would be more than sufficient to stop missiles
from entering Israeli territory. Peretz sensibly argued that Israeli
youngsters would benefit from seeing the blue sky when they raise their eyes
above. Prime Minister Olmert and the Chief of Staff, Major General Dan Halutz,
couldn’t agree less. Being fully aware of the nature of ballistic warfare,
both Halutz and Olmert agreed that the only way to provide the Jewish State
with the ultimate security is to cover it from above with a reinforced
concrete shield. Shimon Peres, the legendary peace enthusiast, offered a
compromise inspired by the idea of a trampoline. Peres suggested that a
Security Wall’s 90,000 ft. extension made of an elastic net would do the job.
The elder statesman argued that an elastic net will guarantee that every Arab
missile aimed at Israel would bounce back to the Arab territory once it hits
the net. Olmert and Halutz dismissed Peres’s suggestion. They argued that
considering the excessive Israeli usage of artillery and missiles against its
Arab enemies, the Jewish State would suffer far more from the erection of such
a “bouncy net.” “Israel,” said Halutz, “would never survive the extent of its
fierce artillery barrages bouncing back on itself.”
In a press conference following the heated cabinet debate, Government
spokesman Mr. Zion Zioni stressed that, “following the total success of the
Security Wall in stopping Palestinian suicidal terror, a “Security Roof” is
obviously the natural way to proceed.” Mr. Zioni maintained as well that the
new Israeli project will turn the Jewish State into a “sealed Jewish Bunker.”
“In fact,” Zioni emphasized, “‘Operation Security Roof’ brings the Zionist
adventure into its final destination. We are now moving from the ‘Iron Wall’
phase into the ‘Concrete Roof’ future. With a reinforced concrete ceiling from
above, a Security Wall in the East and the Mediterranean Sea in the West, the
Jewish State will eventually become the safest haven for world Jewry. Herzl’s
dream comes true. Long Live Israel!”
Yet, some technical difficulties lay ahead. Probably the most crucial problem
has something to do with breathing. Like the rest of the humankind, the
Israeli people consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Apparently, the
Israeli cabinet Ministers were made aware of this very crucial fact by the
Health Minister. Olmert, being a man of action, responded immediately. Already
in the cabinet meeting he authorized the Defense Ministry to explore different
solutions to the acute problem. We already learned from the Defense Ministry
spokesman Lt. Galileo Galilee that Filter on the Roof, the Israeli-American
High Tech chemical giant (traded on Wall Street, operated from Gush Katif) has
been contracted to deal with the problem.
We have learned as well from Lt. Galilee that Filter on the Roof has already
come up with more than a few solutions. Although some of the solutions are
rather radical, it is crucial to mention that they are all extremely
innovative, as you would expect from an Israeli-American High Tech venture.
Probably the most conventional and practical solution proposed by the chemical
giant was to bore as many as six million ventilation holes in the roof. Peres,
Peretz and Sh-Meretz rejected the possibility without even thinking twice.
“Considering our traumatic collective memory of the holocaust,” so they said,
“turning the Jewish State into a big room with holes in the ceiling is simply
unacceptable.”
Probably the most radical suggestion made by the Israeli-American
company was to train the Jewish population in Israel to breath like fish. By
the time the Israeli people are well trained, all that is left to do is to
just fill the Jewish bunker with seawater. In other words, Filter on the Roof
suggested to turn the Israeli State into a “giant Jewish tropical aquarium.”
Though this option seems to be very radical and even inconceivable, most
cabinet Ministers reacted enthusiastically. They all agreed that such a
solution would fit nicely with the concept of modern Jewish life in general
and Zionism in particular. Israelis love the sea. Israelis are not afraid of
water. Once the entire Israeli society is covered with water, no one would
ever consider throwing them to the sea.
We will be following this developing story and keeping you informed.
