A new one recently surfaced amid the vitriolic rhetoric that gets dished out by the neoconservative punditry of the Internet: “Hezbollywood.” Google it and be in awe of its (as of this writing) 131,000 results.

Say what you will about the IOF or Israelis for that matter, but when it comes to supporting occupation and killing they’ve perfected it to a fine art…including the kosher toppings.
