"...so sue already!...It's a jewish tradition!"
Whilst mocking Jews and killing them is a very ancient Christian tradition.
You people have learned nothing from history. However much Jews contribute to the United States, many millions of individuals still do not see them as real Americans. No different in fact to how they were treated in many countries in Europe. And this kind of prejudice is rampant during a period of unparalleled prosperity. God alone knows how bad it would get during a very severe economic recession.
Thank you for reminding me just how important Israel is to the Jewish people.
Great Jewish traditions: being responsible for 40% of all large gifts to charity in the U.S, winning a large percentage of Nobel Prizes, building many of America's greatest businesses, providing many of America's greatest lawyers, doctors, writers, teachers and scientists.
I wouldn't call it a Christian tradition. Roman or Gentile perhaps, but watch "The Passion" and discern which party is promoting the mockery and killing of Jews.
Whoa, you better get your enemies straight. While there are/have been people claiming to be Christian who killed Jews for no other reason than being Jewish, I think we know who the real enemy is of both religions.
BTW, Are you a religious Jew or just someone of Jewish ancestry who gets to claim oppressed status? I ask because The Torah (The Old Testament) prophesies a virgin birth.
While that is all true, the other contributions--ACLU, NAACP, do-gooders who started social work and public schools, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Jonathan Pollard, embracing communism and communists infiltrating every area of government and culture--kind of cancels the good stuff out.
Wow, that is some rant.
Now of which comes even LOSE to addressing how these Taliban wannabes treated a women with the audacity to sit where she wanted to on a public bus.

Lighten up. Allow me to quote from one of my favorite comedians, Jackie Mason, (who is Jewish enough to have been ordained as a rabbi):
"A Jew wakes up every day and says: 'Who can I sue?'"
So based on the great authority of Jackie Mason, whose entire act is devoted to highlighting humorous differences between Jews and non-Jews, sueing is a Jewish tradition.
Many freepers have been defending Israel and the Jewish people years before you even logged on for the first time, so don't be so quick to accuse "us people" of learning "nothing from history".
And to insinuate that the way most Americans treat Jews is anything close to the way they are treated in Europe is insulting; hopefully you're not stupid enough to really believe that.
"You people"? Those are typically fightin' words. But being a Zionist Christian, I'm sure they don't apply to me. I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't consider Jews who are American citizens to not be Americans.
Actually, mocking any distinct foreign or seemingly alien non-integrated group is a part of the human tradition. Everyone does it. We're hardwired to be suspicious of strangers.
Personally, I think Toim Lehrer summed it up the best in his song "National Brotherhood Week":
Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.
