IIRC, she was a sniper with the Haganah in Israel back in the day.
Sister-in-law, I think.
This sure proves the statement “only the good die young”.
Not gonna lie, I thought she died like 20 years ago.
Dr. Ruth’s entire family was murdered in the Holocaust. Her mother and grandmother sent her from Nazi Germany to Switzerland so she could survive. She ended up going to Mandatory Palestine, and was trained as a sniper. RIP
I heard an announcer yesterday refer to what was happening to Joe Biden as “The night of the long knives.”
I thought to myself that these people use terms they know nothing about. Joe might be in trouble, but he and his followers are not being killed.
People who know the “tick tock” version of history have no context. It’s sad.
I never looked at bananas the same way as after her. Just sayin’......
entertaining, though I did not care for her message
RIP Ruth
Disgusting pervert who got rich peddling advice to weak minded people to be slaves to their appetites. Some people will do anything for a buck.
News to me is she was still alive.
From her bio:
<< Westheimer joined the Haganah Jewish Zionist underground paramilitary organization (later, the Israel Defense Forces) in Jerusalem.[24][25][23][26] Because of her diminutive height of 4 ft 7 in (1.40 m), she was trained as a scout and sniper.[22][26][27] Of this experience, she said, “I never killed anybody, but I know how to throw hand grenades and shoot.”[28] She became an ace sniper, and learned to assemble a rifle in the dark.[22][12] When she was 90 years old, she demonstrated that she was still able to put together a Sten gun with her eyes closed.[29]
In 1948, on her 20th birthday, Westheimer was seriously wounded in action by an exploding shell during a mortar fire attack on Jerusalem during the 1947–1949 Palestine war; the explosion killed two girls who were right next to her.[30][23][26][21] She had near-fatal injuries; she was temporarily paralyzed, almost lost both of her feet, the top of one of her feet was blown off, and it was several months of recuperating in a ward before she was able to walk again. >>
RIP, Ruth.
“inferno thingy”
yeah, I don’t hope that for anyone. I don’t remember her wishing any harm. She only wanted to give people joy and relieve them of some anxieties about their sex lives.
I hope she rests peacefully.
“Maybe Dr. Jill Biden can take over her practice “
Well, they have the same degree - both Dr of Education, whatever that means.
“peddling advice to weak minded people to be slaves to their appetites. Some people will do anything for a buck.”
Precisely...
Just yesterday I randomly wondered if she was still alive. Now I know.
Definition of panic: A man with a wife, a mistress, and a mortgage, and they are all past due.
“Sex with Dr. Ruth. Sex with Dr. Ruth...I don’t think SO”
I remember another comic saying, “I want Dr. Ruth because she will do ANYTHING!” ;-)
My cat and I agree with you. Ruth, as I recall, did not suggest sleeping around.
