A self-proclaimed Zionist satirist named L.E. Staiman, whose real name is Eliyahu Noah 'Eli' Staiman, has taken the recent events of pro-Palestinian protestors raging across college campuses nationwide, to a new level.
The upstate native, starts with a disclaimer that condones 'any acts of terror or negative actions conducted by any group,' and claims that the intent is 'not to offend but to educate and foster awareness,' before he breaks out the sarcasm to his nearly 8,500 followers on Instagram.
'As you know many of the encampments in UCLA have been torn down. There are still some survivors and we desperately need humanitarian aid,' he says while sitting under a mock tent in a post than went viral on Thursday.
'We need water bottles. We need vegan food, we need gluten-free bagels, we need banana-free bananas if you have them,' the comic said wearing a burnt orange colored keffiyeh around his neck - a scarf worn by Palestinians that became a symbol after the flag was banned in the West Bank and Gaza.
As he was speaking, a poster with the words, 'From the River to the Sea,' slams him in the head. He turns and says, 'Stop it. Stop,' holding back a laugh.
He continues to rattle off more items in need, using his hands to show the urgency of his request.
'We need first aid kits. If anyone has enriched uranium that would be super helpful or weapons grade plutonium. A free range rocket launcher. We need a rocket launcher.
'If anyone has those old SS uniforms from the Forties. We need those!'
'We need wheelchair- accessible paragliders for some of our disabled comrades,' he says.
'Oh, guard towers. We need guard towers. If anyone has ever been to Poland, and they can get their hands on some guard towers.
He raises his arm and continues the impassioned plea, and raising his voice in support. 'We are still fighting the good fight on the front lines. Not discouraged. I think we are pretty close. I think a couple of weeks from freeing Palestine.
'I need to get back to my Ethics class, but I will see you all soon with more updates from the encampment.'
The post garnered more than 11 million views with many feeding into the satire and ranting off what items they are able to contribute.
'Sending left over Matzah boxes,' one person wrote as the Passover holiday ended earlier this week.
'Banana-free bananas coming your way!!!!' another said, while another reader wanted to know 'why aren't they asking for watermelon?'
'How about condoms so they don’t procreate,' was another question posed.
As a devoted fan, offered them their guillotine. 'I may have one handy,' they said.
Many appeared to appreciate the comic relief in this uncertain time with more than 11,000 likes since Thursday.
'Wheelchair accessible paragliders,' OMG SCREAMING!' someone wrote.
'Satirical, yet historically accurate,' said another.
