Some Jews join anti-war protests, but worry about radical bedfellows (duh!)

Once again my fellow Jews demonstrate education beyond the ability to understand and the insane choice of self-congratulatory politics over self-interest.

Fence-riding on a very sharp barbed-wire fence.

Our people are entering a new Awakening... patience, it will take some time to fully reverse the depredations of socialism.

[TSchmereL]

True.

Waskow, who was arrested Monday in front of the White House with another 370 protesters, said that the weekend’s events were successful overall and offered an outlet for young Jews who oppose the war but hear little about it from their community’s leaders

The left is delighted that so many young Jews are susceptible to the clarion call of the socialist. After all, Israel is socialist, socialists are for the "people" and this war is clearly a republican war over oil. No wonder the Jews can be sucked in. Where are the Jews of old who led the intellectual communities? I hope they are fleeing the left and moving into the republican party in large numbers. (Note to my fellow Jews, the republican party no longer seeks to deny country club memberships to Jews.)

ANSWER and Cindy Sheehan are not just "anti-Zionist", but anti-Semitic. The Rabbi Lerner incident comes to mind.

It's sad that many Jews are choosing to ally themselves with these groups.

[billnaz]

Jews who join in those Israel-bashing demonstrations must have some serious psychological issues. I would recommend that they have a heart-to-heart talk with their rabbi.

Well, all my Jewish friends and relatives voted for W. I was the odd one out.

But in the previous election they all voted for Gore.

We are making progress.

[Mike Darancette]

the hard place was the vituperative anti-Israeli sentiment among some of their anti-war allies

The Palestinians want Jews eradicated from the "River to the Sea". The so called anti-war (but pro Israeli eradication) folks are agreeable to the extermination of all the Jews in Israel now and elsewhere later.

With the passing of Eli Wiesel so fresh these people should be ashamed.

A new generation of Capos.

Jews hating the war but forget how war freed them from the concentration camps in WWII. How quickly they forget...just like the people of New York about 9/11

[Alouette]

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

[Mylo]

Hey! War never accomplished ANYTHING! Donchaknow.

SARCASM!!!!

The democrat party has become financially controlled by anti-semitic whack-jobs who now dominate the party through the far-left 527 organizations: the horrific unintended consequence of campaign "reform."

Here is some of the International ANSWER democrat party anti-war, anti-semitic propaganda:

[Andy00]

I've seen it before. Places like Democratic Underground have people who think being a "real" Christian (more Christian than their opponents) is allying oneself with those who say Christianity is a lie.

Kids are taught early on that self-hatred and values nullfication is a virtue.

My hubby and I were watching some of the speakers for this event on C-Span. Two mid eastern looking speakers wore those white and black checked head scarves Arafat used to wear. A few of the other speakers frequently referred to the rights of the Palestinians. Even I was shocked.

Only the promoters and very young were exuberant with their applause.

[rwa265]

You got me to wondering if he was buried with one of those scarves on his head.

[dennisw]

I must be one crude and stupid Jew because I can see what's going on

[LoudRepublicangirl]

Only the promoters and very young were exuberant with their applause.

That's because they have no personal experience in a gulag or concentration camp or had the cold steel blade of an Islamic extremist resting on their neck before slicing their head off.

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.
