    Imagine calling an actual Jew antisemitic because they criticized the Zionist Israeli regime.

      No one should be working with that administration, read down every regulation to the minimal required for each request.

      Offer nothing beyond absolute requirement at the latest possible time, be as bureaucratically burdensome as possible, do it with a smile and a respectful ‘yes sir/madam’.

      Send back reports, requests and any other communications for the most minor of spelling or grammatical errors.

      Make their Doge’d arses grind along the pavement as the administrative hurdles bury their ‘efficient’ government.
