Drugs More Harmful to Israel than Oil?

I’m not advocating drugs (on this post), but ck of Jewlicious is absolutely missing the real fuel that funds terrorism in his post, “Eilat Bombing: The Aftermath,� which blames marijuana and houses of ill repute in Israel for funding terrorism. Now if ck were some fundamentalist arguing that it was sin that was creating terrorism, we would simply understand that his friends at Big Aish had got to him, and the poor guy was losing it from too many crazy melave malkes.

But that isn’t what he is saying. Rather, the Zionist One is claiming that,

So next time you and your buddies go off to Tel Aviv for a special massage with a happy ending, or next time you light up your darker variety of North African hashish (now that Lebanese Blond is no longer available), keep in mind that your are supporting an organization that aids and abets terrorists.

Dude. The sponsors of terrorism – like our fine artistic friends curating Holocaust Denial exhibits in Tehran – are being funded by OIL. Not marijuana, not handjobs…oil. Everything else is bubkes compared to that.

Do I disagree with ck’s contention that vices end up funding bad people? Well, no…I mean, I think we’re all against handjobs over here (right, guys?), and that no one should pay for those, but we know the power oil gives Israel’s enemies. And ck spends zero time preaching alternate fuels to oil. Instead, he worries only about the economic role of vice.

So we have to wonder if maybe someone is, in fact, partying melave malkeing it a bit too hard. Because surely ck can’t be oblivious to the role of oil in our tragic global geopolitical reality.

Can he?
