The Court is Decamping for their Seder to the King's Fishing Lodge on the Deleware Coast.
We can assure our British family,subjects and friends that this year we will be using the newly issued
LIVINGSTON HAGADAH
Some among you will be familiar with the ancient celebratory song DAYENU which the Jews have been chanting at the Seder table lo these 3,500 years since the Exodus.
[cut the b.s. Cyclops,you know it was written during the Babylonian exile. 2500 years tops]
DAYENU translates as:"it would have been enough for us", or "it would have been sufficient" It lauds god for all the wonderful blessings bestowed on the Ancient Hebrews;especially taking them out of slavery,There is no mention of her allowing them to be enslaved in the first place.
Anyway there are fifteen laudatory verses after each of which the congregants yells DAYENU and a little wine is spilled from each cup.The theme being that if God had only given one of the gifts --DAYENU - -it would have still been enough.
In the spirit of Dayenu the King instructed the Royal Lyricist to compose some extra verses for
Ken Livingstone
· Had he just claimed Jewish
MPs are a "distortion running through politics” DAYENU
·Had he just claimed "suddenly
the Jews became reactionaries, turned Right, nearly to be fascists" after Menachim Begin
became Israeli Prime Minister.
DAYENU
Had he just claimed that
"extremist Jews" were organising "paramilitary groups, which
resemble fascist organisations", DAYENU
·Had
he compares a Jewish journalist,Oliver Finegold, to a Nazi concentration camp guard DAYENU
·Had he simply suggested Jews
support the Tories because they have got rich DAYENU
· Had he
only claimed this “storm about anti-semitism is manufactured by Zionists and Blairites to silence criticism
of Israel and to smear the left. They know there is nothing to it”
DAYENU
· Had
he called the creation of Israel “fundamentally wrong,” and “a great
catastrophe DAYENU
· Or claimed the existence of the Jewish state …could
ultimately lead to
nuclear war. DAYENU
· Had he alleged claims of
anti-semitism were invented by the Jewish Chronicle
to silence criticism of Israel and to smear Jeremy
Corbyn. DAYENU
· Had he
only claimed this “storm about anti semitism is manufactured by Zionists and Blairites
to silence criticism of Israel and to smear the left. They know there is

DAYENU

·Had
he only supported MP Naz Shah publishing a facebook screenshot suggesting that all Israelis should be "relocated"
to the United States" Problem
solved,". DAYENU
·Or another in
which Shah compares
Israel to apartheid South Africa, segregated American South, and Germany
under Hitler. DAYENU
Had he
said Shah's was not anti-Semitic because"a real anti-semite doesn't just hate the Jews in Israel" DAYENU
Or on the
BBC"in 1932 Hitler was supporting Zionism - this was before he went
mad and ended up killing six million Jews". DAYENU
