Ya can learn so much from Muslims.

Here is one of the more rational chestnuts.

When Jews confirmed that they did not want to hear god’s words and Christians made law a curse. God gave Prophethood and the land promised to Abraham to the Muslims. Now Jews are trying to take it back by force and Christians are helping those who killed their god…[Read more]

In terms of Jews and how they vote i think you mostly have it correct. I saw firsthand in research how very committed i dear say more than any other groups Jews were to American civil rights for Blacks. And as an aside i think some Jews feel betrayed by Blacks both for the Farakand sp? right wing Jew haters. And now the progressive wing of the…[Read more]

Yeah i got only one response from a Muslim. And it was how the virgins are in the hadiths and not the quran. These Muslims who proselytyze daily and they got nothing.

I am not surprised you have gone on about same topic Reg. That is an easy spot for convergence among antitheists.

Hahaha Robert, first laugh of the day duly initiated 😂

I need 73 virgins. I guess Islam is just not for me.

I have often asked Muslims how the “72 Virgins” deal works. Do they keep getting reborn as virgins every time you “visit with them”. If not and they grow old can you get new ones every 100 years or something like that or does Allah insist you remaining faithful to your own 72 forever. Do you have to go shopping with them afterwards to hold the…[Read more]

I will stand corrected on any or all of the following as it mostly just my opinion.

Jewish people tend to be liberal in their attitudes (liberal in the sense Strega used it – not Orthodox) and are progressives on the core issues of civil rights for all citizens, more open to immigration and strongly support the separation of Church and State.…[Read more]

So, I guess you’re voting for Trump.

The march of folly unabated. I have been wondering what the response would be from the west in re. to UNWRA. If you want more violence this is a surefire guarantee that it will continue unabated. It is a terrorism school that demonizes Jews and has the most vile propaganda. Their teachers are largely terrorists. But yea keep giving them…[Read more]

That damn song gave me a bad earwurm.

It is emblematic of the absurdity of life.

It’s taking on a new life……

Think of all the people who have heard air raid sirens. Get their asses lickety split to bomb shelters…

I think that ultimately Israel will have to decide what to do when the Muslim population exceeds the Jewish population. How, then, to remain a Jewish state? Expel Muslims? Exterminate Muslims? Disenfranchise Muslims? Is there a Plan D?

I have friends recently back from Jerusalem who described the situation with Bibi in similar terms .

Our zoom meetings can be super bizarre with sirens and such going on.

I speak with a friend in Ukraine and it is not unusual to cut the call when we hear Iranian drones overhead. A sound that will never be forgotten.

I am pretty sure there were mass protests after the Israeli Supreme Court cleared way to draft orthodox.

Religion is a cancer. Tiny country. Enemies everywhere and they want same benefits without sharing the obligations.

I am also pretty sure that the progressives in Israel who were supportive of Palestinians have turned hard right. How could…[Read more]

I was on a phone call with my Israeli client earlier today. We spent ten minutes on work and then shot the breeze for a couple of hours.

He asked me about the US elections. I asked him how he felt about Netanyahu and his reply was fascinating. Along the lines of:

Personally he hates Bibi but that’s because all the liberals hate him. The O…[Read more]

@ Jake

If it’s your belief that two wrongs make a right sometimes, just admit it.

The pager/cell phone attack probably qualifies under most definitions of international terror because there was never any guarantee that only Hamas members would receive them or always be the ones in possession of  them or that innocent civilians would not be killed or maimed.

The nature of the injuries also fits into the terror…[Read more]
