Comments on: No hoseannas for Hosni http://www.yourish.com/2009/06/19/7888 Cutting straight to the point Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:14:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Sabba Hillel http://www.yourish.com/2009/06/19/7888/comment-page-1#comment-36774 Sabba Hillel Sun, 21 Jun 2009 16:48:54 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=7888#comment-36774 Interestingly enough, the English word hosanna (from the Xian Greek) has come to mean "praise", while the original Hebrew, Hoshana, means "pleassave" or "Save now". Since Hosni Mubarak neither deserves praise, nor is capable of (nor willing to) "saving" us or the Egyptians, he is definitely not worthy of having the term applied to him. In the correct meaning, there is only One that the term can be applied to.

At least, that was my impression. Waste of ink. If you read the op-ed in full, you come away with the impression that he really is saying—nothing. At least, that was my impression.
