U May Not Say : Hip Hip Hooray Again

The origin of "Hip, Hip Hooray may shock you, and U may not wish anyone that with a clear conscience. If U have Jewish friends, ask them if they have any objections ... but our culture is so replete with anti-semitisms, not everyone knows what they ought to know. Here are the facts as I found out: “Hierosolyma Est Perdita” "The call was recorded in England in the beginning of the 19th century in connection with making a toast. It has been suggested that the word “hip” stems from a medieval Latin acronym, “Hierosolyma Est Perdita”, meaning “Jerusalem is lost”, a term that gained notoriety in the German Hep hep riots." The predictions of the fall of Jerusalem came from Israel's prophets like Ezekiel, and later in about the year 30 by Jesus Himself. The latter was the fall of Jerusalem by the Imperial Roman hand.
