The Knesset is outlawing Nazi references, but stupidity is still legal.
[Likud MK] Danny Danon – דני דנון
I held an emergency meeting in the Knesset on the Thailand travel warning for Israeli tourists. The Counter-Terrorism Bureau clarified that there are still high alerts. I decided to send a public letterthrough Chabad and other Israeli tourist connections, warning all Jews and Israelis traveling in Thailand. “Israeli hikers can help in identifing potential terrorists, and to asisst in this I distributed a sketch of the terrorist who is currently roaming freely in Thailand.”

Is there some kind of special plastic magnifying glass, Marx Bro disguise, and invisible ink that comes wtih the new instructions?

Dani Danon Facebook page is the funniest thing I have ever seen.
When he was born, he missed the queue for common sense, common decency and sensitivity.
I dont think he realizes all people responding to his posts are taking the Micky out of him

That’s priceless. The image of Danny Danon sat there with a box of crayons drawing his best terrorist picture and then proudly posting it off to Thailand, well it’s just heart warming. ‘Look Bibi, I done a sketch of a terrorist!’
.
Actually, does the Mossad just have a big box of drawing paper and crayons and every time they catch some Hezbollah man then get they get Danny to do his picture. For the safety of all Israeli tourists I’m going to post Danny my old phone. The camera isn’t up to much but at least it’s 21st century stuff.

So inefficient, DD; why not just skip the middle-man and send Ginger’s Terrorist Identifying Kit (plus a free sketch pad) to the folks at Chabad?

Look, I can see there’s a few of us here who really feel for Danny. What’s say we set up a Paypal account for donations and buy a few sets of ‘Guess Who?’ for the man. Does anyone know if they do a version which only has Arabs in it?
Vicky
Now I am getting a mental image of a party of Israeli backpackers setting off around Thailand equipped with cameras, mountaineering boots, a set of maps, and a sketch of a terrorist…
Danny
For some reason, every time I see that photo of him, I get the urge to donate to the special olympics.
Carl
Vicky: you nailed it! A new sport in time for the 2012 London Olympics – Danon Orienteering. Bearing 18 degrees for 2 miles, NNW at the infiltrator for 1 mile, SW at the olive skinned guy with the moustache, at which point you should be soon in the London underground, where you just have to shoot a Brazilian to win.

Danny: I’m presuming you haven’t got job in the field of disabilities. Well I’m hoping you haven’t. Mind I’d say his face does itself look like the product of a game of ‘Guess Who?’ It’s a weird composite of parts and I swear neither his mouth, nose or eyes began life on same face.

Does Likud MK Danon realize how much he writes, and reads, like Sarah Palin?
The man humiliates our people, our nation, and our history with such foolishness.
Piotr Berman
What is wrong with Sarah Palin? I think that both Sarah and Danny are adorable.
In any case, the concept is sound. Vigilance, bravery and patriotism are the cornerstone of the nation and sadly, they are sometimes forgotten when we relax on foreign vacations. So as we hike in, say, Patpong (I have no idea what is it other than someone wrote that “Pattaya is Patpong-sur-le-mer”) and we spot some Middle Eastern looking persons (say, posing as Israelis and even affecting Hebrew accent in English) we can send a text message to … (I hope that this info would be distributed together with the sketch).
Pretty soon all ME looking persons will notify about each other and Patpong police station (or Pattaya) will be overflowing. Someone will bribe the police to bring in some beer and some girls and everyone will have time of their lives. While preserving the virtue of vigilance, bravery and patriotism.
