Please post how long it took you to figure out what that means.

Well it's obvious from the context what it's meant to say, but it took me a minute to figure out how they got to this "translation."

Now let's see if you can figure out what "and its so-called Jews" actually says in the original.

Most noteworthy in the article IMHO is what is so emblematic of the popular Arab culture is the delusional statement: "And he knows that the only force that can keep him in power is the alliance of the right-wing Jewish lobby in America with the Evangelical Christian Right, and they alone are able to achieve his goal of survival" (I went back to the Arabic source to make sure that this isn't a mistranslation, and it does seem pretty accurate).

To quote the late CDG, "France has no friends, only interests".

I was wondering what that was supposed to say. If it's another name of a political party I can probably figure it out if I had a list of the party names. (I stopped bothering to keep track of them a long time ago)

More of an interesting marketing article than about Kobe Bryant.

That was the first thing that came to mind, but I wasn't sure if I had the name right and if it was even still a party

Am I allowed to quote John Bolton saying something similar or is he persona non grata now?

Since I'm not following the circus, you may quote him or whoever you want.

That was yesterday. Today is the 2nd version. I spotted Yoni Katz and his non-Jewish vlogger friend on the street as they were getting ready to roll, expect a video in the near future.
