I Am a Mug!

I was in the kitchen at work today, and went to the cupboard to get a mug for my tea. I started to take one of the cups but then realised it said 'I love Israel' on the side. I quickly whipped my hand away as if the cup was on fire!

Why would I do this? Did I think that by using this mug I was somehow letting down my brothers and sisters in Palestine? And even if this was the case, why was I so scared to even touch the cup for a second? Would I get contaminated by Zionism?

I was slightly distgusted by myself for being so anti-Semitic, and then had a cup of tea with NO SUGAR to punish myself (in an Arsenal FC mug).

I always wanted to buy a mug for someone (anyone) with the caption "I saw this mug and thought of you"

"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - David Cameron, UK Prime Minister. 13 May 2015.

You certainly would be letting the palestinian brothers and sisters down by drinking in cup with such a statement.

Being anti-Israel and anti-Zionist is not being anti-Semitic.

How did you get hold of this mug?

Chin up, mate! Life's too short.

Drink in it, wash it, and then walk away.

But dont hold discussions about it.
