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]

Thoughtful exploration of the topics follows. The hypocrisy and hyperfocus is for one reason and one alone. Jew hatred to the bone. Well either that or moronic mindless never had a critical thought ideologue ignorance.

The calculus is very simple.

A ceasefire was in place on October 6th.

Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, killing some 1,200…[Read more]

Without denying that antisemitism exists, please quit this broad brush fallacy (the fallacy of composition) that all of us who decry Israel’s heavy-handed and indiscriminate conduct of the war.

A few words from that pro-Naxi antisemite—by your definition—Bernie Sanders (from four months ago, so the stats he gives are much worse by now…[Read more]

Yeah Robert that was my we all know why.

I had the feeling at least among the few participants here that we would all be aware of that fact. I asked meta whether it had a handle on what is common knowledge and it did. Also our highest level of education.

That article i linked really strikes me as significant. If it is true that most of us do…[Read more]

Old school conservative xtians were pro-Israel for decades mainly because its existence supposedly fulfills some phony prophecies as they yearn for their end-o-times to save them from their miserable existence.

Just for the halibut i will mention some contemporary occurrences that stretch credulity or are so improbable that they’d seem like a ridiculous plot in a bad movie.

1. A former president who is ardent in his allegation of pet eating Hatians.

2. Israelis at war with everybody around em and pull off a massive James Bond move with electrical…[Read more]
