CIRCUS ISRAEL FORGIVES ITSELF AND MOVES ON
The Security Cabinet of Circus Israel has issued the following Statement as an official Trial Balloon. The Security Cabinet reserves full discretion to, at any time: 1) repudiate the Statement, in whole or in part; 2) deny that the Statement, or any part, ever existed; 3) characterize the statement, or any part, as a misquotation, misrepresentation and/or internal working document representing nothing; 4) impute anti-Semitism to any person or entity that agrees with, or disagrees with, the Statement or any repudiation, denial or characterization of the Statement by the Security Cabinet; 5) counteract the Statement with a military incursion in Ramallah.
STATEMENT…The State of Israel has decided to move on with its life. We acknowledge certain actions may’ve been perceived by some others as non-optimal. Sometimes, things just get misunderstood. We sincerely regret that this misperception occurred. Even though Israel obviously suffers from post-traumatic stress, and even though we’ve been put through an ordeal since day one, we won’t ask for special treatment. That’s not who we are. But nobody’s perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone says things that come out the wrong way. That’s what makes us human. All we can do is accept that we can’t control others (except Arabs). We can only control ourselves (and, like we said, Arabs). So it’s time to put this all behind us, to forgive ourselves, to give ourselves permission to heal and move ahead. We’re going to take some time for us. Time for closure. We’ll just settle for awhile, sipping the under-appreciated wine of the Golan and watching the sun set over Judea. We’ll work to figure out who we really are, in our infinite complexity. And once we’re spiritually reinvigorated, we promise we’ll do everything we can to be true to ourselves.
