BEATLES CAN COME IN THROUGH BATHROOM WINDOW
In a shocking reversal of a decades-old policy, the surviving Beatles are now welcome in Circus Israel. Many Israelis call this a catastrophic tactical, strategic and existential blunder. “After the Beatles went to the States, there was integration and the peace movement,” noted a prominent Likud MK. “That’s a direct threat to the existence of the Jewish State.” Said an Israel Beiteinu MK, “It’s anti-semitism. Both the old kind and the new kind.” He compared Paul McCartney to Hitler, Arafat, Ahmadinejad and Saddam Hussein. The PM brushed these criticisms aside, emphasizing that neither Beatle would be admitted without renouncing violence, adhering to all prior agreements and acknowledging Circus Israel’s right to exist. A spokesperson for Ringo Starr responded that Mr. Starr was too overcome with gratitude to issue a formal statement.
