Get the secret tips you won't find anywhere else! Guaranteed to end the occupation now! Maker's note: This vido was originally posted by me in Spring of 2008. After over 170000 views and well over a thousand comments, it was deleted for being offensive. Whether the whistle-blower was a Palestinian who got the joke or an Israeli who didn't, I don't know. Therefore I must break character and say the following: IT'S A SATIRE! It's all sarcastic! Please, watch a video in its entirety before you declare it offensive: friendly fire kills more videos on Youtube than Americans in Iraq, so flag responsibly!
