I was totally remiss in not telling Zeb about you as he's a retired Marine (don't hold it against him) and as expected..he was quite happy with the referral...you're in true form today (and yesterday ) I think it's hilarious! You'd think that name calling went out of the window after graduating from highschool but no..it's still used in full force by those who can't find any other intelligent words I guess. And anonymous..I am glad you put the record straight on that as well. I get the feeling from reading and some personal experience, that that is not the norm to be able to be critical yet not resort to this, again, name calling. Of course, isn't there a name for Jewish people like you who would/could be critical? (self loathing ?) it never ends..<BR/>that said, I don't think it's a numbers' game.. there's more to it I think<BR/>IngridIngridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543677729320023767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1153492197414625382006-07-21T10:29:00.000-04:002006-07-21T10:29:00.000-04:00Ah, brilliant Jeff.

Fantastic writing.<BR/><BR/>I totally enjoyed your Israel post, and I AM Jewish. I don't understand the whole criticize Israel = anti-semitic equation. It makes no sense, and Israel is the only nation in the world which this seems to apply to. If we criticize Italy, are we anti-Catholic?<BR/><BR/>Basically the "anit-Semitic" charge is just a proxy insult to those who would dare question US policy in the Middle East. Now clearly there are many bad things that Muslims in that part of the world have done, but to presume that Israel is the shining beacon of virtue that can do no wrong is asinine.<BR/><BR/>Israel's problem basically comes down to fucking. There are many more Muslims there than Jews, and most everything else flows from that. Maybe we should consider sending them Viagra, which is helpfully color coordinated with their flag!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1153489603002612832006-07-21T09:46:00.000-04:002006-07-21T09:46:00.000-04:00Wonderful post Jeff!

Although this is sad in itself, that one has to constantly defend themselves when making a suggestion or a joke as regards to whether you are racist, bigoted or not. <BR/><BR/>I always say I cannot be anti-semetic, the Palestinians are semites. <BR/>Not only that, but as a Muslim, Jews are my cousins.lostkittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992580927685753189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1153449779887258802006-07-20T22:42:00.000-04:002006-07-20T22:42:00.000-04:00Oh, I don't, believe me...that's just my self-effa...Oh, I don't, believe me...that's just my self-effacing way.<BR/><BR/>I blogged earlier in the week what the experts are now saying about the Shiite Crescent.
