Occupation glasses - 2014 edition

A few years ago I wrote a post about what I call "occupation glasses" - the widespread phenomenon where no matter what happens in Israel, certain people see it as a part of "occupation."

I even designed a pair:


On Friday, Tal Öfer tweeted a photo of French antisemite Dieudonne with Mahmoud Ahmadinajed, two Jew-hating peas in a pod.

Rabid anti-Israel nutcase Mira bar-Hillel responded in a predictable way by ignoring the point and trying to change the subject back to what is near and dear to her heart, saying  sarcastically that the photo was "Far more important than the additional 1,400 illegal homes in occupied West Bank, Mr Kerry."

CiFWatch responded to her, quite accurately, with a link to my post on the Occupation Glasses.

Bar-Hillel responded back,
I can only assume that anti-Israel fanatic Bar Hillel is referring to the clunky style of those glasses. I agree, the color and shape are not at all acceptable for 2014 (and probably never were.) Bar-Hillel is obviously up on the latest anti-Israel fashion. (I should ask her if the keffiyeh is acceptable to wear nowadays among her crowd or if that is also "so 2011.")

So, because she asked, I designed a new pair of Occupation Glasses, that are much more subtle, sleek and stylish.




People who wear these can rest assured that not only will everything they say have to do with "occupation," but even better - the rimless style makes it harder for people to tell that they are wearing them.

Until they open their mouths, of course.
