Pretty funny stuff from his show...
Dennis Miller is a comedian who has a show
called Dennis Miller Live on HBO. He is not Jewish.
He said the following about the Modest situation:
"A brief overview of the situation is always valuable, so as a service
to all Americans who still don't get it, I now offer you the story of
the Middle East in just a few paragraphs, which is all you really need.
Here we go:
The Palestinians want their own country. There's just one thing about
that: There are no Palestinians. It's a made up word. Israel was called
Palestine for two thousand years. Like "Wiccan," "Palestinian" sounds
ancient but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the
land in the 1967 war, Gaza was owned by Egypt, the West Bank was owned
by Jordan, and there were no "Palestinians." As soon as the Jews took
over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what do you
know, say hello to the "Palestinians," weeping for their deep bond with
their lost "land" and "nation." So for the sake of honesty, let's not
use the word "Palestinian" anymore to describe these delightful folks,
who dance for joy at our deaths, until someone points out they're being
taped. Instead, let's call them what they are: "Other Arabs Who Can't
Accomplish Anything In Life And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In The
Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death."
I know that's a bit unwieldy to expect to see on CNN. How about this,
then: "Adjacent Jew-Haters." Okay, so the Adjacent Jew-Haters want
their own country. Oops, just one more thing. No, they don't. They
could've had their own country any time in the last thirty years,
especially two years ago at Camp David but if you have your own
country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage trucks and
Chambers of Commerce,and, worse, you actually have to figure out some
way to make a living. That's no fun. No, they want what all the other
Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel. They also want a big pile of
dead Jews, of course -- that's where the real fun is -- but mostly they
want Israel. Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or "The
Zionist Entity" as their textbooks call it -- for the last fifty years
has allowed the rulers of Arab countries to divert the attention of
their own people away from the fact that they're the blue-ribbon most
illiterate, poorest, and tribally backward on God's Earth, and if
you've ever been around God's Earth...you know that's really saying
something. It makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes
poetic about the great history and culture of the Muslim Midleast.
Unless I'm missing something,the Arabs haven't given anything to the
world since Algebra, and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that
one
Chew this around & spit it out: 500 million Arabs; 5 million Jews.
Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a
pack of matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these same folks
swear that, if Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone
will be pals…Really? Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about the
string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the constant din of
rabid blood oaths to drive every Jew into the sea?Oh, that? We were
just kidding.
My friend Kevin Rooney made a gorgeous point the other day: Just
reverse the numbers. Imagine 500 million Jews and 5 million Arabs. I
was stunned at the simple brilliance of it. Can anyone picture the
Jews strapping belts of razor blades and dynamite to themselves? Of
course not. Or marshaling every fiber and force at their disposal for
generations to drive a tiny Arab State into the sea? Nonsense. Or
dancing for joy at the murder of innocents? Impossible. Or spreading
and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with
the blood of children? Disgusting. No, as you know, left to themselves
in a world of peace, the worst Jews would ever do to people is debate
them to death.
Mr. Bush, God bless him, is walking a tightrope I understand that,
with vital operations in Iraq and others, it's in our interest, as
Americans, to try to stabilize our Arab allies as much as possible,
and, after all, that can't be much harder than stabilizing a roomful of
super models who've just had their drugs taken away. However, in any
big-picture strategy, there's always a danger of losing moral weight.
We've already lost some. After September 11th, our president told us
and the world he was going to root out all terrorists and the countries
that supported them. Beautiful. Then the Israelis, after months and
months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City every week (and
then every day), start to do the same thing we did, and we tell them
to show restraint. If America were being attacked with an Oklahoma
City every day, we would all very shortly be screaming for the
administration to just be done with it and kill everything south of
the Mediterranean and east of the Jordan.
Please feel free to pass this along to your friends. Walk in peace! Be
happy! Have a wonderful life."=

just like i tell my folks - check snopes before you send out those e-mails about the "truth"
this is from www.snopes.com
Origins: Comedian Dennis Miller is celebrated for his R-rated, no-holds-barred political commentaries because they cut to the heart of disturbing issues by using humor as a lens through which to view current events. His "rants" make us laugh, but they also make us think, which lifts his form of humor above mere entertainment and into the realm of provocative editorializing that so often helps folks see old situations in a new light.
The voice of the Internet essay now attributed to him seems to many to be his, and its appearance in their inboxes emblazoned with a notation that it's "from Dennis Miller" confirms this perception. Yet the piece now being laid at his feet is not his work; it's the effort of another social commentator who bears a similar name.
This diatribe is actually part of a column by humorist Larry Miller which appeared in the Daily Standard on 22 April 2002. It is a reaction piece to a 10 April 2002 FOX News Network
interview conducted by Greta van Susteren with Ishmael Abu-Shanab, spokesman for the Hamas political wing in the Gaza strip, and American attorney Stanley Cohen, who has represented the head of Hamas.
The version circulating on the Internet omits a four-paragraph lead-in about the ludicrosity of anyone named Cohen's defending Hamas, the Palestinian organization responsible for the 27 March Passover bombing that killed 19 and injured 100 at a hotel in Netanya, as well as many other bombings. It also leaves off the five-paragraph finish primarily devoted to a discussion of Colin Powell's (then) projected peace mission and disparagement of van Susteren's politeness to her two guests. The core of the article — the "brief overview" — is reproduced faithfully.
This was not the first piece by Larry Miller to have gained widespread Internet circulation while attributed to a different source. In March 2002, his essay decrying a tendency to minimalize the horror of terrorism and society's washing its hands of problems that don't yield to easy solutions ("You Say You Want a Resolution") rocketed through cyberspace attributed to Gen. Richard E. Hawley, a United States Air Force general.
Larry Miller suffers the unenviable fate of seeing not one, but two of his essays acclaimed by the masses but attributed to other writers. This is not the sort of fame every author aspires to.

Doesnt matter, either way its true, except for the Author. It is right on the money. Great post Froggystyle.
It also sounds like something Dennis Miller would say.
