tues., 2 apr., 2013: no hebrew heaven on earth?: give us This Day our Daily Curse

    
HEBREW:  !לך לך לעזה     —  Lech le ’Aza!  ‡



‡ )  Lit., “Go to Gaza!”  —  i.e., “Go to Hell!”  [NOTE: This in ref. to the scapegoat sent into the wilderness on Yom Kippur as noted in Leviticus 16. In either case, it is the equiv. of sayingGo to Hell!” — as for many Israelis (esp. those having had the misfortune to serve in the army there), Gaza is considered Hell on Earth.]
