So they took politically conservative Jews out of proportion for this poll. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Not that it makes a difference at this late date . . . but I notice that right wingers, when claiming that Democrats are anti-Israel, trot out Sharpton and Jackson. Problem is, Republican anti-Semites like Bush I, Ron Paul, even Pat Buchanan have ALL WON ELECTION BY REPUBLICANS! Jackson and Sharpton, have NEVER been elected to anything. So Republitards, PLEASE get your analogies straight! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The Jew hating Republicon party managed to get out of office SIX Jews. Meanwhile, they put IN office the anti-Israel Randy Paul and Pat Toomey, and have elevated to leadership the vehemently anti-Israel Darrell Issa. Why oh why ANY Jew could belong to a party that hates the Jews just proves that we have ALWAYS been a stiff-necked people! As to Golan's comments about Bennet--I direct him to George Allen, whose mother was scared to tell him she is Jewish! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I still don't understand the myth that Bush II was a friedn of Israel. He boasted of being the first president to call for creation of a "palestinian" state, demanded that it be "contiguous," and unrelentingly advocated for them. Thus, the "Palestinians" knew that their man in the White House would get them their country no matter how intransigent they were, and no matter how many Jews they killed. This is a "friend"? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 So let me get this straight. A Taliban Terrorist curses and defames a Jew, who is polite and civilized. The Jew then sticks it but good to the Terrorist, in a polite and civilized way. And this is somehow anti-Semitic? Maybe not the right time and place for the joke. But anti-Semitic? I don't think so. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I could respect Koch more on Jewish affairs if I hadn't just seen footage of him attending midnight Xmas mass at St. Patrick's cathedral. Sadly, he is a regular there, more than can be said about his synagogue attendance. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Stevie--the first president to say "the world needs a Palestinian state"? The first president to demand the founding of a "contiguous" Palestinian state? The president who demanded Israel "stop the daily humiliations of the Palestinian people"? The first president to send money directly to the PLO? The one who said "I wouldn't categorize Yassir Arafat a terrorist"? So you're talking about George Dubya Bush, right, because he's without a doubt the most anti-Israel president in history. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Palin "supports" Israel for the sole reason that she thinks the End of Days is near, and all Jews will move to Israel, die, and bring back her god, and has just said as much. With "friends" like this, we don't need enemies. When this doesn't happen, she will be the first one hunting Jews from her helicopter, because she will believe we "prevented" her god from returning. Don't we learn anything from our history? These Evangelicals hated us 30 years ago, and history shows, the cycle will complete itself, and they will once again call us Christ Killers. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Psycho Michael Weiner rants under the nom du radio of Michael "Savage," because he is so humiliated by his Jewish heritage. The other day he ranted and raved on his show about the "Jewish" element in the humor of Larry David. Weiner's complaint? If only Jews could be more like Christians, how much better off everybody would be. You see, Weiner objects to Larry David's poking fun at "stereotypical" Jewish traits. Weiner expresses this by complaining that Larry David is the type who would normally be working in the garment industry. Instead, Weiner states, David is in a business where he ridicules the noble, moral Christians who worship "crying" paintings of their holy icons. So in other words, Weiner just HATES ethnic stereotypes, unless HE IS the one doing the stereotyping. Of course, there is actually a logic to what Weiner is saying. He hates stereotyping Christians, because he loves and admires Christians. He himself LOVES stereotyping Jews, black, Muslims, because he hates Jews, blacks, and Muslims. It is quite obvious from his statements that it eats him up alive to be a member of a group that, as he stereotypes it, spouts vulgarity from Hollywood, and thus pollutes the pure, moral Christian America he longs to be accepted by. And just a note on an objective factual basis: Weiner states that in the TV episode in question, the only Christian represented was an overweight, ugly woman. No, Weiner, get your head out from up your ***. Larry David's character's CHRISTIAN estranged wife was also depicted, and depicted as a beautiful,talented, woman who David's character wants to remain married to. And Julia Louis-Dreyfuss was also in the episode, a non Jew, and quite attractive. But Weiner is too enraged by self hate to see the truth. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Bush? The President who said "the world needs a palestinian state"? Who said his proposed state must be "contiguous" and thus cut Israel in half? Who said that his "heart weeps for the suffering of the palestinian people"? Who said in front of the world that "Israel must stop the daily humiliations of the palestinian people"? We need this idiot in the Middle East? NO THANKS! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Enough of the myth that Nixon "saved" Israel. He was content to let Israel be destroyed. Only when he realized that the Soviet-backed Arabs winning would give the Soviets hegemony over the region, did he decide to send aid to Israel. Go through other portions of his tapes--the man was a rabid, paranoid anti-Semite. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Bibi is, of course, 100% correct. The problem is, for 8 years George Bush labored mightily to make a "palestinian" state a fait accompli. He constantly boasted that he was the first president to call for creation of a palestinian state. He completely leap frogged the agreement Israel signed onto, namely, that final status talks would determine the palestinian entity. Bush did tremendous damage to Israel, yet there is a segment of the Jewish populace who were apparently hypnotized into loving him. How wrong, how terribly wrong. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 So let me see if I understand the comments here. George "Dumbya" Bush, who repeatedly proudly proclaimed he was the first American President to call for a "palestinian" state, who insisted Hamas be allowed to run in elections, who proclaimed that Islam is a religion of peace---well, he was good for Israel. However, Obama is already the worst president for the Jews, and Rahm Emanuel is a self hating Jew. Hmmm . . . I know we are a stiff necked people, but I didn't know so many are also very, very confused. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 What a refreshing contast to President Busha's Ramadan/Id Al Fatir banquets for his Arab friends and cronies. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
