“One QUESTION: who advised the 60 plus channels to show President Trump’s address to the US Jewish community live on the occasion of the first day of Hanukah?”
“Hanukah?”
“Perhaps because Hanukah recalls the victory of a small Jewish army over a large Assyrian army…”
“Perhaps because it may recall the Battle of Badr when 313 ill-equipped force led by the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him defeated the Quraysh army – three times its size.”
“Hanukah also commemorates the rededication of the Jerusalem sanctuary where one day’s oil lasted eight days.”
“Okay but still why did all the channels show the…”
“It’s the spirit of cooperation within our media, one shows a live event so do the others.”
“My question is someone must determine which live event to telecast?”
“I saw President Trump’s address, and frankly it showed his support for Israel and his personal friendship with Miriam Adelson was there for all to see and she and her deceased husband gave hundreds of millions of dollars for his campaign and pledged more if he stands for a third term…yes I know it’s not allowed but don’t forget Nawaz Sharif was the trailblazer: he amended the constitution that allowed…”
“Right but my question stands: who determines which live event to telecast?”
“The Man Who Must Remain Nameless and Faceless…”
“Don’t be facetious.”
“If he can manage his X account, then why can’t…”
“Shut up.”
“What about his wife? She reportedly has the wherewithal to influence…”
“Stop.”
“Could it be Tarar?”
“No, neither of the Tarar’s.”
“The President? You know, from one president to another?”
“Stop right there – it was a live telecast and the one who directed it simply did not know what Hanukah was about, what President Trump would say and…”
“So essentially forgive them, for they know what they do.”
“Yep, but I would like to clarify that the decision not to send our jawans for peacekeeping in Gaza a la Israeli stance - read disarming Hamas has been taken.”
“Hmmmmm.”
“Indeed.”
