born in the wilds of delancey street
home of gefilte fish and kosher meat
handy with a knife, oh her zich tzi
he flicked him a chicken, when he was only 3
duvid, duvid crocket, he sat in the sun und gerocket (rocked) und gebaket (baked)
duvid, duvid crocket, king of delancey street

In eighteen thoiteen he fought indianers, then came the litvaks and the galitzianers, avekgeharget redskins all over the shtetl, he never lost his head, he never lost his sheitel
d-d-crocket, he chewed tobacky und gehissed und gechrocket, d-d-c king of delancey streeet

he went down south, looking for a maidel,
met a little tzatzkale called daisy fraidel
from near and far, they came to the chippe
elected him president of the bnei missisipi
mazel tov duvid crocket ah mazel tov der mame und der alter crocket, mazel tov d-c kods

Also, here are some other interesting facts that show this to be a funny sort of 'siege': - Since the ceasefire last January, 133 million litres of fuel entered Gaza from Israel. But who knows what that number really represents? Is it actually a lot? yes, actually, it is: it's more than enough fuel to fill the petrol tank of every car and truck in Israel. - Since the ceasefire, well over a million tons of humanitarian supplies entered Gaza from Israel. The is almost a ton of aid for every man woman and child in GAza. - Israel transfers 15,000 tons of real aid to Gaza EACH AND EVERY WEEK, so a flotilla claiming to carry 10,000 tons of concrete is clearly about a different agenda (Hamas wants concrete to to build its reinforced bunkers). - International aid groups send their aid to GAza through the Israeli humanitarian pipeline, while publicity seekers merely exploit the humanitarian agenda to promote their own media stunts. - if there is a humanitarian crisis and food shortage in Gaza, it's not caused by any 'siege'. The food and medical aid crosses the border from Israel in the vast amounts mentioned above. If some are worried about it not making it to those in need, they should address the Hamas regime that prevents that from happening. - No Palestinian is denied medical care in Israel. However, if the Hamas regime does not grant permits for medical care, the Israeli government can do nothing to help the patient. Israel will facilitate all cases of medical treatments from Gaza, unless the patient is a known perpetrator of terror. - about 200 medical staff go through the crossing each month. - In 2009 alone, 10.544 patients and their companions left the Gaza Strip for medical treatment in Israel. - Since 2005, Palestinians exploited medical care arrangements more than 20 times to carry out terror attacks. - According to the UN report of May 2010, 120 megawatts (over 70%) of the Strip's electricity supply comes from the Israeli electric grid, while 17 MWs come from Egypt and 30 MWs are produced by the Gaza city power station. Since January 2010, there has been deterioration in the supply of electricity to the Gaza Strip since the Hamas regime is unwilling to purchase the fuel to run the Gaza City power station. - Throughout 2009 Israel transferred 41 trucks of equipment for the maintenance of Gaza's electricity grid. - Israel facilitates the transfer of fuel through the border, and maintains that the diversion of fuel from domestic power generators to other uses is wholly a Hamas decision. Over 133 million liters of fuel entered Gaza from Israel over the last 18 months. Well said.

While the overwhelming of proportion who call themselves pro-Israel also see themselves as pro-Palestinian, they same cannot be said the other way round. While we routinely worry about possible contraventions of the law and/or human rights committed by the IDF, that concern is rarely shared by other parties. We are willing to criticise Israel if it ever strays from that which is acceptable (and it does on occasion,) but that criticism is not seen on the other side of the divide. "Israel deserves everything it gets," goes the reasoning. If you occupy a people, it is only natural for them to react violently and unreasonably against you. These people systematically attempt to deny Israelis' of their basic human rights. What a sickening double standard. Sadly reflective of how Israeli humanitarian concerns are perceived.
