‘This is 40’, a likeable Judd Apatow sort-of-comedy, that is funny but also a bit sad, has a telling scene at the birthday party, when Leslie Mann has a dig at her father-in-law, Albert Brooks, for being a schnorrer, a moocher, a sponger, a mumper, a scrounger…he ‘borrows’ money with no intention of paying it back.
Brooks retorts: I just figured out what your problem is – you hate Jews.
Mann counters: Don’t play the Jew card, Larry.
Brooks: I’m not playing any Jew card.
Mann: Seriously, it’s used up.
Brooks: You can’t use up a Jew card. That’s the whole point of a Jew card.
Other guest (a Jew): That’s right, You can’t use it up; it goes forever.
Do you agree? Does it go forever? Not in my book, and I’ll tell you something now. Netanyahu is fast using up Israel’s Jew card. I’ll tell you something else. Trump may blather on about Israel but that is simply an expediate way to gain support from the Jewish community and the ultra-Christian ‘rapture’ brigade. He doesn’t give a flying f### about Israel simply because he doesn’t give a flying f### about anything apart from himself and, when the doo-doo really hits the fan in the Middle East, as it will, Trump will drop Israel like a red-hot rock.
