Ach! Vas ist das judenmunition?

Neil Abercrombie, of the House Armed Services Commitee, says that bullets made in Israel might offend people who are shot with Hebrew quality military ball. Therefore, under no circumstances, are rounds made in Israel to be used in any Muslim theater of operations.

Why the fuck are people bothering with 6th century concepts in this modern information age? Does the point of origin for bullets REALLY MATTER? How is this an issue in the slightest? Because we might offend someone who has been inculcated from an early age that anything Jewish will poison the land, sea and air?

Christ on a crutch hobbling across a freeway. A bullet made to military specifications is just that, a friggin' bullet. Who cars wher eit is made from? @Why are we not setting a proper 21st Century example to these ignorant people by just issueing the ammo and ignoring any cries of offense? This is a problem of perception, not of objective fact. We should be shrugging our shoulders at any complaints, and patiently explaining that outmoded thoughts of sympathetic magic and superstition mean nothing in the modern world, we have moved past that some time ago. If they still don't like it, well, they can go fuck themselves, there is a war to be fought.

I fail to see why we should place ourselves at risk because some Congressperson has had a fit of perceptual ignorance. It's one thing to tolerate other cultures strange beliefs and actions, but it shouldn't dictate ours.

I wish my government would stop knuckling under to bullshit like this.

Yes yes, our putative allies in the Middle East will have a complete mental hissy over the thought that some j00ish ammunition might be a thousand mile radius of Mecca. That's perfectly understandable, been that way since Mohommed chose a new qiblah to pray. However, we now have scientific proof that not only are Jews not the offspring of pigs and apes, but are indeed HUMANS just like EVERYONE ELSE. And when they build something, it is not infused with j00 p0w3rz that strike down the Gentile. A bullet made in Israel will operate the same way as a bullet made in Nebraska. That's the facts, objectively clear, cannot be disputed by rational minds.

So why do we coddle what we know to be objectively incorrect? Why allow the perception otherwise to continue? Are we not a rational civilization based on reason and logic? Why can't we set an example?

Don't even get me started on why a Democrat saw fit to publicise this. For a party that espouses tolerance, havng a member of that party spout off with "People think Jews are bad, so let us accomodate them" doesn't fill me with good feelings.
