So how long before Hamas reroutes the construction materials to their bunkers? New housing projects in Gaza, and will this stop the flotilla from claiming that Gazans are in dire humanitarian straights? No more than the State Department warning telling Americans not to go to Gaza.
When even the BBC says he isn’t a spy, it’s time for Egypt to give it up. See title.
What does it take to get a balanced piece on an Israeli from the AP? Working for a Democratic Congressman. Grapel was Ackerman’s intern. Even the BBC news piece above is balanced. So now we know, all we have to do is send the IDF to work for Dems, and the news media will stop attacking them for being in the IDF.
Yeah, that’ll make Hamas stand up and take notice: The ICRC is calling for Hamas to show proof Gilad Shalit is still alive. Like they’re going to without some kind of “payment.” This is the organization that keeps calling to kidnap more soldiers so they can be used as bargaining chips.
Cutting it off so we can keep cutting it off: A whole bunch of plaintiffs, including both Muslims and Jews, are suing to keep the anti-circumcision measure off the ballot in San Francisco, citing First Amendment rights. It’s about frakking time, because that measure is totally against the First Amendment rights of Jews and Muslims—wait, what? They’re suing because local governments don’t have the authority to restrict medical procedures? You know what, people? While that’s a good legal strategy for the short run, he’s only going to try to get it on the state ballot. A First Amendment case would prevent ballot measures like that anywhere. However. Herr Hess is going to be extremely disappointed, but I’m betting he makes a ton of money from the Jew-haters with his execrable Foreskin Man comic books.
Israel-hating Jews: American Jews make up a quarter of the membership of the new Gaza Flotilla. But one thing that the article doesn’t say is how many of them ever go to synagogue, or keep kosher, or bother at all with the Law that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai. My guess? Almost none of them. Religious Jews have better things to do than protest against Israeli actions. Also, just for the record: How many of these Jews are protesting the actions of Syria, Libya, Egypt, and Lebanon? This is why I have zero respect for these people as Jews. They’re basically Jews in name only. And their names are used to legitimize their anti-Israel causes, so eff them, and the ship they sailed in on.
They are Jewish only when it allows them to exhibit their leftist bona fides by showing that, although (at least technically) Jews, they cast their lot with the grand worldwide progressive movement.In a sense it’s like nineteenth century Jews who found converting to Christianity a means of gaining acceptance in the wider strata of society in which they yearned to be.
As to whether they have ever protested, as Jews or not, regarding Libya or Syria or Iran, I assume this is a rhetorical question.
Jews In Name Only. JINO’s.
I read it here first.
BTW, I think in the Forward recently there was an item that American Jews provide 1/3 – 2/3 of all the money raised by Democrats. (Jews make up 2 – 3% of the American population.) This suggests that for many, their religion is liberalism or, at least, the Democratic Party.
