Hollywood has the Oscars. Music has the Grammys. Theater has the Tonys.
And when it comes to the grand spectacle of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish theatrics, there’s nothing quite like the “Pally’s” — an annual awards show recognizing the most outstanding performances in hypocrisy, selective outrage, and historical revisionism.
This year’s ceremony, held in an undisclosed location where maps of Israel are mysteriously missing, promises to be a night to remember. With categories ranging from “Best Supporting Actor in an Anti-Israel Narrative” to “Outstanding Achievement in Holocaust Revisionism,” let’s take a look at this year’s nominees.
Best Supporting Actor in an Anti-Israel Narrative
For the individual who best plays a background role in spreading misinformation and double standards.

So extremely disappointing.

Great read, and behind all of the Western stuff, a lot of Qatari money, with tautly held strings attached.
