  • "Messianic Jews"

    The people known as ''Messianic Jews'' are actually Christians pretending to be Jews in order to convert Jews to Christianity. Like the ''Jews for Jesus''. The folks Hitch is referring to are religious Jews in Israel in conflict with the Muslims. In fact, Palestine was created in 1920 as a homeland for the Jews by the San Remo Convention ...

  • Palmer Is Talking Out Of His Tuches

    And the simplest proof of that is his odd claim that:''About one-quarter of the residents of nearby Efrat are immigrants from the former Soviet Union''. Clearly, he has never been to Efrat and has no knowledge of it. Now, Jews lived in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza for thousands of years.Just because the Arabs ethnically cleansed all Jews in 1948 ...

  • It takes an earthquake

    ''argues that they had a good dose of that premonitory or seismic intuition that some Jews are held to possess.'' There was some talk last year of Ashkenazi Jews having a special gene for intelligence. I don't know if that's true, but I'm convinced that we must have a complacency gene somewhere in our genome.

  • Libs angry over Nixon/Allende but silent on Israel/US/Gaza

    How come liberals/leftists who denounced US role in Chile in the 70s are silent about US role in aiding Israel to kill Palestinians? In the early 70s, Allende, a Marxist came to power democratically in Chile. He was a friend of Castro and USSR. He was a lowlife anti-American commie. So, Nixon tried to use whatever means--CIA and economic ...

  • Israel: Accomplishing What Al Qa'eda Could Not

    By yet another massive disproportionate military assault by the world's 4th largest military against a people with no regular military, Israel is accomplishing a fete what many of America's enemies could not. See, because America under Bush's leadership has tied itself unquestionably and unwavering to Israel's every action, America is ...

  • Re: When Herb Bisno Cleaned My clock

    I want to add to my previous post, ''When Herb Bisno Cleaned My Clock''. First, some personal history. I am a non-observant Jew. My only year in Hebrew School coincided with the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. As I was precocious when it came to politics, my entire political life has coincided with the existence of Israel. I have ...

  • When Herb Bisno Cleaned My clock

    Almost exactly 41 years ago, I visited my friends, Jill and Fred Heilpern, in Eugene, Oregon, where I had been a graduate student, getting my Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1966. This was January, 1968, six months after Israel’s six day war in June, 1967. I was an Assistant Professor at SUNY Stony Brook. One of my closest friends was Hugo d”Alarcao, an ...

  • Straight Talk About Israel

    Mr Rosner does really invoke TRUTH regarding Israeli US relations. Instead, he calls for downplaying them. Why? Might it be that Rosner does not want the truth about Israeli US relations to be revealed? After 1948, Israel was an modern independent nation with its own foreign policy agenda which included expansion and inclusion of the ancient ...

  • Can Israel Survive 4 Another 60 years?

    You forget nother ''categories'' of Jewish people who don't care...or wish they didn't have to..... Israel is, after all, a FOREIGN COUNTRY, if one does not live there. I know, I know....everyone in the USA has an ''old country''....so why not be proud of Israel being your ''old country'' if you are Jewish? One good reason is, there is no other ...

  • Israeli Fearmongering for Selfish Interests

    Apparent fearmongering to excite American sympathy and increased American 'aid' to Israel. This is a classic tactic: gain sympathetic action in support of Israel because of: 1)the Holocaust; or 2)Israel's a democracy; 3)The barbarian darkies are threatening to storm the gates of Westerners (Israelis) in the Holyland; 4)look, the barbarian Muslims ...
