It so happened that our valiant security forces at Ben Gurion airport caused a lot of aggravation and unjustified humiliation to Heather Bradshaw, a visiting professor from Indiana University. Most probably another case of a mistaken identity. Since, as it seems to appear, the world is quite full of people called Heather Bradshaw, some other Heather Bradshaw (apparently related to Iran and Pakistan in some way) tripped the alarms in our overly sensitive security spiderweb and the wrong Heather Bradshaw got the treatment that was coming to completely other Heather Bradshaw...
Yeah, shit happens, and I only hope that whoever is responsible for the mix-up will be a mensch enough to visit professor Bradshaw and apologize. And somehow close the issue.
Which issue has another, less expected side effect. A rabid anti-Zionist assaJew Richard Silverstein was thrown by this unfortunate incident into a frenzy of activity: internet research, correspondence with everyone involved, long posts etc. When you read his post, it is clear how excited and happy the story made him (slow day in the life of Seattle anti-Zionist, I wonder?).
Watching Rich drooling and shaking of happiness, I wonder: after all, he cannot be that stupid* illiterate not to know that security mishaps of this kind happen in his own country almost on a daily basis, sometimes with a lot more absurd consequences. But no, no mishap that happens outside that small patch of land called Israel can cause Rich so much happiness, glee (and the orgasms). So smile, Richard:
Richard smiles...
(*) Richard is stupid, let's not forget it. Proof.
