You may joke, but...

Recently I participated in a Mercaz Hamagshimim charity walk to raise money for Hadassah Hospital's new infant emergency center. I had been everwhere gathering pledges for weeks and was quite chuffed with myself that I had managed to raise 4,000 shekels.

I turned up on the day of the walk to register and they handed me a helium balloon to carry. There were 500 hundred people walking on this walk and we were ALL carrying dark orange with blue writing Helium balloons. I didn't even make the connection till someone pointed out that these were the "chosen" colors of the settler movement. I felt a little uncomfortable - but even MORE so when we started walking and cars going past were honking their horns at us in support of "I don't know what"?

I popped my balloon.

Well, I for one have stopped wearing my "future's orange" kippa for fear of misinterpretation. Although I still have a problem...

wow dude, you would make a butt kicking anthropologist. The time I've spent at university disecting "the symbolism of the little things people do", causes me to absolutely love posts like this. More!

I was not aware of the spread to fruit and vegetables! So what would off-limits "Blue" food be for the Reds/Greens? Those Mr. Freeze "Blue Razzberry" flav. Ice Pops?!

Heard rumour this weekend that the orange version of the yellow LiveStrong bracelet says LiveInGaza. Think they'll sell boxes of them on to the Dutch after July?

Imshin - you can tell your brother from me that he's a loser - come on you reds!!

It's not only in Glasgow. Liverpool too. My brother, a staunch Everton FC supporter from the cradle, has never worn red (hated colour of Liverpool FC) in his life, nor tasted a tomato.

Probably not many settlers have moved to 054, because the Orange network is also called "Partner" in Israel, and don't you remember how they used to shout about how there was NO PARTNER?

Makes you wonder if the Northern Irish are scratching their heads and wondering how they got so many new supporters in Israel.
