(IsraelNN.com) Professor Richard Dawkins, a senior British evolutionary scientist and outspoken atheist, drew fire on Monday for saying that Jews more or less monopolize American foreign policy. Religious Jews are a small group, Dawkins said, but are fantastically successful in lobbying the US government. Dawkins, who is currently in the US in an attempt to promote atheism and fight religious influence, expressed hope that atheists would be similarly successful in determining government policy.
A number of Jewish leaders responded immediately, with ADL head Abe Foxman calling Dawkins remarks classic anti-Semitism. Malcom Hoenlein, a senior official in the Conference of Presidents of Major American Organizations, was quoted by Yediot Acharonot as saying the statements represented the poisoning of the elite. Even top scientists can demonstrate ignorance and fall victim to misinformation, said Hoenlein, adding This impact spreads within the intellectual community, and then trickles down to the general populace.
You know, I actually agree with him on the science but still find him a patronizing, condescending nitwit. I downloaded his latest book, The God Delusion, from Audible and was ready to throw my Ipod at the wall after listening to a few chapters (he and his wife are the readers). Just listening to his insufferable sense of his own unassailable superiority, which comes through every page of the book, would turn any atheist into a Creationist.

Well, it must be true.

Because Prof. Dawkins affirmatively tells us that he’s smarter
than the vast majority of the populace.

“When asked what the main difference between believers and atheists was, Dawkins had a quick answer: “Well, we’re bright.””
I'll get back to you Friday afternoon after a couple of beers . . . |
“Gosh! An atheist is a moron!”
A moron is a moron.
They believe or not believe many different things.
Who’d a thunk it.
The fifth anti-Semitic motif in Arab cartoons echoes the classic conspiracy theme, that 'the Jews control the world.' This explains Arab thought as to why they have not been able to win against these people. Before 1967, the classic theme - also in the Soviet world - was that the Israelis were the aircraft carrier of the United States in the Middle East.
"Today the opposite idea is depicted. Israel's opponents allege that the Jews dominate the United States. By implication, they also claim that the Jews are the 'masters of the world' - a classic conspiracy theme exploited by the Nazis. For the communists, the Jews were the bourgeoisie and the capitalists; for the Nazis they represented the essence of capitalism.
"Many Arabs wonder why the United States supports Israel rather than their own cause. They find this mysterious and have developed a simple response: The Jews dominate the world. As the Arab world is in a rather poor state, they claim that its masters, i.e., the Jews, are the cause of their problems. This motif is identical to that exemplified in the Russian Czarist falsification of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Thus, subconsciously, they want to get rid of these 'evil conspirators.' In the caricatures Israelis are rarely shown. When they are, they are often represented as ultra-orthodox Jews, which is another absurdity.
"The gifted American caricaturist of Algerian origin, Bendib, designed a monkey with a Star of David on its breast sitting on top of the globe on which small figures of the Pope and an Arab are drawn. The monkey says: 'Jerusalem: from New York City to Kuala Lumpur, undivided, eternal capital of Israel; everything else is negotiable.'15 In this cartoon the domination motif is thus combined with that of zoomorphism."
The Second one is:
Cartoon from The Arab News,, Saudi English language daily online version, June 28, 2002, depicts President Bush as the "tongue" of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon who has a Jewish star on his tie and the "U.S. administration" hanging from his jacket pocket.
Both are typical of Prof Dawkins anti-semitism, and indicative of the company he keeps when he espouses such nonsense.
Think Waxman.... he is in qalather because the media has slipped from the grasp of his funders. He is now on the attack to right that wrong.
Think Schumer......
He has no proof of this. He just takes it on faith.

You know, the NRA which is almost wholly composed of, you guessed it: THE JEWS.
Indeed.
I just wish that liberal Jews finally wake up and realize that leftism harms them and slavishly voting Democrats will get them into the grave. Ed Koch and Joe Lieberman have set the precedent.
The Jews are not needed for people to realize how evil Islam is.
I enjoy watching this guy jump the shark, call it shadenfreude.
Guess what, Dawkins?
Your religion already successful in determining government policy.
I apologize completely.
I read it wrong and jumped the gun.
Again, I apologize.
40 lashes.
“Religious Jews are a small group, Dawkins said, but are fantastically successful in lobbying the US government.

These bigots like Dawkins always have to believe that the Jews are working some evil magic through lobbying. They just can’t let it sink into their thick heads that about 80% of Americans are strong supporters of Israel. All AIPAC does is lobby about the details because the broad support for Israel has always been there in Congress and in US as a whole.
Not that Mearshimer didn’t catch hell for writing on that subject.
Sorry friend, but us Stonecutters have you beat. Shhhh don’t tell anyone cause it’s a secret.
