• I was in Chevron today. I was on a special tour arranged by the Chevron Fund. I went to places that Jews aren't allowed to go to normally because they would be killed. I saw Arab kids throwing rocks at the soldiers. I saw flash bombs go off to disperse the rock throwers. I saw soldiers at the ready for the Arabs pushing in from all sides. I saw the soldiers actively protecting me from the Arabs who tried to get through to harm me. I stopped and spoke to every soldier I passed, asking their name, where they are from, making them smile. Thanking them for risking their life so I could be in Chevron.
  An hour after I left the city, an Arab sniper shot and killed an Israeli soldier. He was right by Maeret Hamachpela, guarding the area so that thousands of Jews could go visit the graves of the patriarchs, on one of the 10 days a year that it is open to the Jews. I was there today. I saw the soldiers. I saw the Arabs. I saw with my own eyes what is really going on here.
  How much longer are we going to let this happen? How many more young soldiers have to die? Guys who haven't yet lived their lives. Guys who are just trying to protect their families, their country. How much longer are we going to let these so called peace talks go on? How many more terrorists are we going to release?
  This has to stop. This has to stop now.
  
  Please share this. Please spread the word. We have the power to make a change.

Chevron

Мне понадобилось некоторое время, чтобы понять, о чём идёт речь.
Поскольку компания "Шеврон" спонсирует множество разных фондов.
Какие-то Главные Идиоты Израиля когда-то постановили, что звук "Х", которым изобилует иврит, должен изображаться как "ch". И пошли по миру "Чаимы", "Чомские", "Чавы нагилы" и "леЧаимы". Хотя в русской традиции транслитерации этот звук обычно изображается как "kh". Так же, впрочем, пишутся по-английски и арабские слова.
Сам постинг после этого воспринимался с трудом.
Интересно, кто-нибудь когда-нибудь положит конец этому идиотизму?

Мне тоже не нравится, но этот текст я перепостила, как было. Тема не такова, чтобы углубляться в тонкости транслитерации.

Говорят, такая транслитерация - из немецкого.
