Perish The Thought
There are just some things you don’t joke about.
Roseanne Barr on her blog:
i am running for prime minister of israel
i am going to announce my candidacy on mother’s day in Washington D.C. As Bibi Netanyahu and Goldma Meir did, I will renounce my citizenship and according to the law of return, move just outside Jerusalem. I will ride a donkey there thru the streets and talk about making peace. When I am elected in an overwhelming landslide, I will invite Hillary Clinton to my mansion there and we will undertake beating all plowshares into pruning hooks as per our mentor King David. I will make friends with all my neighbors. Those that refuse to be friendly after I have shown them nothing but kindness will be destroyed by Guillotine after a fair trial.
She then claims she will be the Green Party Prime Minister, and provides a link to the Green Leaf party website, which is an entirely different party.
Of course, for this to ever come true, a huge number of people would have to have smoked copious amounts of the stuff.
Nevertheless, I’d like to help her.
Hey Roseanne, how about using this as your campaign poster?

OMG these stupid politically correct libelers have no clue. They themselves are putting there own heads on the Guillotine and there will be no one there to save them.
"I will make friends with all my neighbors. Those that refuse to be friendly after I have shown them nothing but kindness will be destroyed by Guillotine after a fair trial."
Under current rules, she would be refused permission to run for racism. This is actually to the right of Rabbi Kahane. And did Golda Meir renounce her citizenship? They only put that law in when Rabbi Kahane ran.
It is fairly common that people criticising Israeli politicians for being "extremists" turn out to be far more extremist than the politicians they were criticising.
Like Avigdor Lieberman's haters who never notice the Arab MK he has in his party and the many Arabs that vote for him.
I think these people define themselves as Druze, not as Arabs.
Wikipedia and most sources appear to classify them as an Arab group. Saying they're not Arab is like saying Christian Arabs are not Arab.
There are advantages to both sides. By saying theyre Arab, you can show youre not racist or that there are moderate Arabs. By saying theyre not Arab, you can say that Arabs are savages and deserve ridicule.
There's a difference between classification and identity (not that I'd trust wiki on either – would you try to answer "who is a Jew" based on wikipedia?). As far as I can tell, these people don't self-identify as Arabs.
Wiki reports whats in the field and what I've read is basically the facts on the ground about Jews. Groups like the Falasha Mura and Igbo are left as speculation.
I think some Druze may. Some may not.
What I've seen "on the ground" is that they don't. Actually, a large percentage of their speech is now Hebrew, and language is really the final identification of "Arab".
However, your point is still valuble.
Well you see it better than me. I'm not sure I would say solid Arab in the same sense, but some subgroup. Perhaps there is just a large sociological/anthropological debate about.
What we can always do is say these were the people that were here originally and they actually quite like Jews.
I actually asked our driver today. He said that the Druze are a distinct group, and that’s how they want to stay. They don’t even have conversion.
I know they dont have conversion. I suppose they dont want to be associated, but sociologically (Or w/e it is), they are considered Arab. As I said, it works both ways. And I still think they're an awesome people.
I'm not into PC, but sometimes their concepts are useful. I think self-identification is a good thing to use.
That picture is so disturbing. She's so ugly, even if you ignore the mustache and everything.
Run, Roseanne, Run!
We need some entertainment in our politics, especially since Rabbi Ba-Gad quit politics. I for one, am willing to give her a position as the Knesset Joker as soon as she becomes an Israeli citizen.
I’m quite fond of the Israeli election campaign commercials
Australia is so boring in comparison… There’s nothing to look forward to here in an election year. I think after Aliyah voting will take on a whole new meaning for me – already looking forward to the pre-election entertainment 
I hope she understands that Israelis vote for the party, not the candidate. Even if by some chance she is elected to the Knesset on a party list, there is no guarantee that she will be included in any governing coalition, much less elevated to the top spot.
For certain she's mentally ill. I genuinely almost feel guilty laughing and mocking her. Almost.
