I like to live recklessly. Ok? I take my chances. I’m the king kong of โthe no-care zone.โ I don’t do ‘niceโ. Iโm the guy at the supermarket who rams my shopping cart into your ankles at the cashier line, why? Cuz fuck you, thatโs why. In my world, population: one = me. If you have a problem, I will handle it with phosphoric acid as I do most of my nuisances back home. Thatโs how I deal with all the problems in life, I slaughter them. I have no time to waste. The only time I canโt kill my problems is when they are a figment of my imagination; those are the toughest, so I opt to punish everybody, just to be on the safe side. Truly, the hardest troubles in life are those that canโt be solved with massacres. Those would require some form of talent that I do not have, likeโฆ conversations. But those are for the weak and I do not care for the weak. Me, I stick to the basics: rocket-propelled grenades or nothing. And so, because of my pragmatic nature, I tend to be, what a picky person would call, a maniac. But Iโm proud of it, you know? Being a maniac has brought me many, many joys in my life. At least, I am not a crazy person. No. A crazy person will shoot 26 kids at an American school and be shunned by the Americans for his “god-awful crimes”, plus they’re usually stupid and amateurish. But a maniac is different; a maniac will kill 490 children locked in an open-air prison with a purposeful no-exit lockdown, slaughter 2,139 adults 98% of whom are completely unarmed, purposefully displace 500,000 people, then block food, water, electricity and medical aid to all survivors, then have the audacity to wear a suit, actually bypass the American President by usurping his way to speak to the US Congress and have the audacity to denounce the pro-peace behavior of THAT VERY PRESIDENT IN FRONT OF HIS OWN CONGRESS AND manage to get 25 standing ovations from fellow maniacs… Trust meโฆ Iโm a pro. The secret to a successful life is smart framing: that is why Israeli murderers are called โcommandosโ and they get standing ovations, and Arab commandos are called โterroristsโ and they get taken to Guantanamo.
I am Commando-in-chief, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and I approve this message.

Hahah awesome ๐
Any politician or political pundit whose speech is rooted in fear is by default a failed speech. Fear-mongers as well as all policy tactics rooted in fear are for the evil minded, selfish manipulators of the world who seek to dominate through the spread of conflict and intolerance. Any speech that seeks to spread panic and trepidation where no alternative constructive solution is even offered is by default a failed speech given by a failed politician. Benjamin Netanyahu and all of his clique are the epitome of failed politicians whose survival thrives on conflict, who, while upholding the holier-than-though terror warning speech all wired in lies, actually are the ones who every day are building the backbone of a selfish nation on the very principles of fear and terror as they spread fear and terror within the veins of their very own society. Benjamin Netanyahu is the very embodiment of terror, and all the insults that he hails on Iran are actually the very description of his own policy agenda. As for those specific Republican Americans who applauded him with no respite, they are guilty in their very own country of continuously sowing discord and resentment amongst their people with the same terror apocalyptic speeches that have driven, and will keep driving, a once unified nation to the brink of a terrible inner-conflict which supersedes politics, a nation whose essence is based on the pursuit of happiness which they dismantle everyday into a pursuit of misery for all. I despise terror speeches as well as those who give terror speeches, because the world will never ever change with fear, it will never be protected with fear, it will only change at the hands of inspired people, and inspired people don’t speak, nor bow down to the language of fear.
Sara you mentioned Republicans, but what about the Democrats? What does this say about the state of Politics in the US when both sides are beholden to influential 3rd parties with foreign vested interests for their campaign contributions.
I agree Sirine, you are completely right about that. But this specific incident was orchestrated by the Republican Party to literally make of Obama the most diminutive President in their eyes, bypassing the executive so boldly means the executive and all dems are completely unimportant in their eyes. That’s driving a wedge and sowing discord in a nation to an unprecedented degree. All this to fawn and be toady towards a foreign leader whose interest is not even aligned with that of the US. Obama is at fault for letting it slide, or as Jon Stewart said ‘getting slapped by Netanyahu then giving Netanyahu a glove, to make sure that his hand doesn’t hurt in case he wants to repeat it”… Disappointing.
Yes you’re totally right Sara. I only hope this farce is enough to shake up the system and wake people up over in the US. Here in Lebanon were are used to our political class being a laughing stock, but we don’t claim to be a beacon of hope, defending freedom and democracy around the world.
100% right Sirine. Well said.
Your article will be forwarded to all our friends and I wish we were able to have it read by everyone in the Congress because watching the farce made us fume
And wished there was one gutsy person to stop the rubbish…it was absolutely
Disgusting. He was actually ordering the representatives of the American people as to what to do….
So much courage bravo!
*applause* well said!!!

Excellent. Now how do we communicate with the U.S. Congress about their embarrassing behavior?
Amazing
Genius … both the piece of writing and illustration!
Brilliant… as always!!!
Great new post
Wow. How do you come up with this? I am so impressed. You need to be read by millions of people Sara. And you will.
The Obama face is quite similar to the “not bad” meme, and I just laughed my ass off. More satire!
Hilarious and brilliant. As always…
WOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!! SARA!!!!!!! no words. amazing.
Someone please send this superb piece of writing and incredible drawings to President Obama and all his staff! Sara, really great post. Best i’ve read…..
I think you are a very, very, very rare human being, Sara. You are damn intelligent, your sense of humor is to die for, your writing is the most invigorating and gripping that I come across on the Internet, your IQ goes through the roof, you are witty, you are humane, you are talented as HELL (I mean look at these drawings!) and … you’re attractive. Yup, I am a fan. Thank you for another amazing post, one that made me both laugh and think, as per usual.
You are indescribably brilliant Sara El-Yafi. Truly. Never seen anything or anyone like you.
another interesting illustration (^^)
The best thing I’ve read online About Bibi’s speech!
Hayete Sara ! Once again you give wings to my thoughts! (I was actually thinking of you fuming while I was watching the speech ๐ )
I honestly wish Obama had access to this, he would actually “like” this post lol, brilliant
this is so awesome!!! xoxoxo
Brilliant
YOUR MIND!! BRILLIANT!!! I have chills!
Thank you Sara for giving voice to what a lot of people, including me, have been fuming about for so long and as recently as that amazing (but not in a good way) piece of theatre which the world was witness to only this past Tuesday. *applause*
The illustration: GENIUS
The humor: unbelievably witty, I laughed out loud.
The text: clever, subtle, smart. I sat there in silence and in shame over the behavior of our Congress. I will forward this, and hope others do as well.
Yes the illustrations. Genius.
I am speechless. Really. This is BY FAR the BEST thing I read about Netanyahu’s speech on the entire f*ckin internet! And your illustration(s) are simply PRICELESS…. Sara you are a talented human being and I am SO proud to know there are people like you who represent so intelligently.
Funny ๐
Omg. Brilliant as always! Like the best thing I read so far about THE SPEECH!
You are the smartest, most brilliant human being I come across on the internet, Sara!!!!!
