As British mainstream journalists hysterically ask everyone but *those* directly and indirectly affected by Zionism whether the motion was just, criticism isn't landing this time.

[A parody of MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD, in which the kindly Mr Rogers takes us to see local things in his town.]
 
1
[title]
MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD

MR ROGERS:

Hi there

2
Today, I’d like to take you to visit some of my neighbours… 

[He puts his coat on to leave his house]  

3
At a wonderful local event,
 
[We see the cute toy-town diorama of his village famous from the TV show. The camera pulls out…]

4
The Data Center protest.

[The camera has pulled out further and now we see a huge DATA CENTER at the edge  of town]. 

5
MR ROGERS [joining a crowd protesting outside the Data Center]:

The Data Center is an enormous, windowless, endlessly humming building outside of our town

6
…Which has tripled energy prices, drank all the water, and created four jobs.

7
[to camera, as if kindly explaining to the viewing children]:

Four jobs! Golly!

8
LADY PROTESTOR [probably NAOMI KLEIN, holding a sign]:

In a way, the Data Center is kind of a vivid metaphor for a future we feel locked out of!

9
MR ROGERS [to camera again]:

A metaphor.

10
That’s something that lets us clarify our feelings about something else. 

11
LADY PROTESTOR:
How do you feel, Mr Rogers?

MR ROGERS:
I feel like bringing down the government!

12
MR ROGERS [now holding a sign and protesting]:

It’s good to have neighbors.

Happy 74th birthday, John Cage’s 4'33"!
Alex cartoon: two men in suits stand with drinks in a living room looking at a stereo while a woman speaks to them: “ALEX, CAN'T WE HAVE SOME NICE CLASSICAL MUSIC INSTEAD OF THIS MODERN STUFF?”She continues: “THIS IS SO PRETENTIOUS. IT'S BORING TO LISTEN TO AND BASICALLY A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.” Alex replies : “YOU'RE SUCH A PHILISTINE, PENNY.”He turns back to the stereo: “THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS WORKS IN THE MODERN REPERTOIRE AND I KNOW OF NO PIECE THAT BETTER DEMONSTRATES THE UNSURPASSED CLARITY OF C.D. SOUND REPRODUCTION.”Penny looks at a CD case. “WELL I THINK ITS A RIP-OFF... JOHN CAGE WRITING A COMPOSITION THAT CONSISTS OF 4 MINUTES 33 SECONDS OF TOTAL SILENCE.” Alex says to his friend: “LISTEN TO THAT, CLIVE. ABSOLUTELY NO BALKGROUND HUM OR HISS EVEN AT FULL VOLUME...” Clive: “AMAZING.”
