Jerusalem - own worst enemy

This is too good to let slip by.

 

A recent brochure produced by and for the city of Jerusalem to promote a music/arts festival has either made a hilarious mistake, or Iran (et al) took control of production just before it came to print. The “sightseeing pamphlet” was translated from Hebrew to English; they intended it to read: “Jerusalem – there’s no city like it!” Unfortunately, a translation error resulted in the following: “Jerusalem – there’s no such city!”

 

According to the BBC, tens of thousands of them were distributed before anybody realized that there was a mistake.

 

After all these years of diplomacy, trying to get Arab nations and Palestinian groups to recognize the State of Israel, maybe those in Jerusalem have given up. Or, maybe this is a much more subtle PsyOps plot: if the bad guys don’t think it’s there anymore, what are they fighting for?
