The next Christian joke about the Jews
The Strait of Hormuz reopens, oil prices fall, a glimmer of hope is in sight, but these genocidal regimes won’t give up – do they want to keep bombing even more than Trump?

Tel Aviv: two men are reading an anti-Semitic poster; one asks the other, “Why do they have it in for us so much?” The other replies, “We’re the cause of all the world’s problems.” The first says, “And why do they have it in for cyclists too?” The second asks, “Why do you mention cyclists of all things?” The first says, “Good question. Nobody ever asks: ‘And why the Jews, of all people?’” Indeed. That old Yiddish joke may seem ironic or not, funny or not, rubbish or even worse. One question remains: “Why’ – a young Western comrade might have asked himself yesterday, but would continue to ask himself today in the company of far less generous Western comrades – is the Strait of Hormuz reopening, oil prices falling, a glimmer of hope appearing, yet these genocidal maniacs won’t give up and want to keep bombing even more than Trump? There you go. Before they stop, and before they’re all killed off, it might become the next Christian joke about the Jews.
