US envoy warned Lebanon: Israel can wipe out Lebanese Army between breakfast and lunch

Hmm...

They forgot the hallowed 10 AM tea break. Histadrut (Israeli trade union) wouldn't stand for this...

Can we have a general strike over the ten AM tea (coffee, actually) break, then? I have to go back to work in a few days :'( . I need a general strike! And a hug, too...

Times have changed. Today it's called coffee-break at this corner of the Earth. And how to drink a mud coffeee ("cafe bots") in the Lebanese mud? ithout even some "fistukim"? Were Amir Peterz the defense minister again...

Pisa, we are so close ri September 1 that the strike is going to start whether we want it or not.

It seems, Peter, you are not working in one of the Histadrut-infested organizations...

Snoopy you are correct, I don't belong to this bunch... As O'Henry said: I only murdered a blind beggar for his pennies and burnt an orphanage...

peterthehungarian said...

And Snoopy do you really know anybody working at any workplace with Histadrut present?

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Yeah, well, I know quite a lot of fine upstanding folks that just happened... you know how it goes.

As a matter of fact, I have survived two years in such a place myself.
