A Small Dictionary of Middle-East Stereotypes

This list of sarcastic definitions is the epitome of phobias, with a definite slant towards appologetics for Zionism, but hey there is nothing on earth that can't be used to laugh about, for example:

Budget: What for? Are you kidding? Are we in Ramallah (Gaza) here?

Occupation: The reason for which this Palestinian has just had his finger jammed in the door. Anyone who does not see the causality is Islamophobic.

Orchard (see also olive grove): A sacred place for journalistic worship of the peasant innocence trampled under foot by army rabble, as in: "The Israeli troops cut down the trees in the orchards".
