Omar and Tlaib, Rabbit Hunters
As a kid I always loved the Warner Bros cartoon movies of Bugs Bunny outsmarting the rabbit-hunting Elmer Fudd. Poor frustrated Fudd (unable to pronounce the letter R) would snarl "Dwat that Wabbit" The Omar Tlaib episode reminded me of those films. I drew the two congresswomen dressed in Elmer Fudd's outfit. I was tempted to have them say "Dwat that Wabbit", but I figured that nobody would understand the cultural reference.In 1980 we had a currency change. Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin replaced the Israeli pound (the Lira) with the Shekel. It is hard to believe now, but back then I (and many others) were shocked. "Shekel" sounded so antisemitic. What would the world think of us!I smile at those who fear the reaction of outsiders to Israel's banning the entry of two BDS-supporting antisemites. Like that wonderful rabbit I take a bite out of my carrot and from the safety of my rabbit hole, I offer the world a cheery "What's Up Doc?" Want to help us thumb our nose at the BDS bullies?
