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 saying “Go to Hell!” — as for many Israelis (esp. those having had the misfortune to serve in the
army there), Gaza is considered Hell on
Earth.]
