Oh, I don’t.
I hope nothing happens. But Jews in NY have often been the victims of directed violence, thanks in part to losers like Farrakhan and Sharpton.
I understand some people have problems with Jews.
We're generally annoying (especially those seen on TV), often condescending (or seemingly so), sometimes a little too tricky, can be really rude, and simultaneously successful, smart, and just generally seem to get ahead.
People have been complaining about that since the first Joshua.
That said, for whatever reason (my hunch is theological, but interpersonal can be blamed, too, if you want), people have been trying to kill us en masse for nigh 3,500 years or so.
It gets old.
Ergo, we take countermeasures.
It looks like sir spamalot has been banned or suspended. Good riddance to bad trash.
Not at all!
Observing the way FReepers dealt with such naked equivocation (in the rhetorical sense) has been most instructive.
There is much to think about, here.
Nothing but facts? LOL. You inferred someone was anti-semetic because they didn’t like the idea put forth in this article. That is very lib-like.
He misrepresented the facts of the article. I did not initially infer anti-semitism. It was only after his vociferous defense of his claims, via name calling and inflammatory accusations (such as those aimed at me), that I concluded that it could only be Jew-hate clouding his judgment.
I challenge you to find one non-factual crumb in my posts. Heck, I even identified myself by name and disclosed my business in this thread. Any of you folks who took umbrage at this article and sided with spamalot got the testicular fortitude to do that? Thought not.
Your defense of spamalot is noble, but misguided. Go find another windmill to tilt at.
Yeah, I reckon you are right. He did get pummeled with the logic stick, and from all sides.
That's a rather "strained" recitation of the events here.
Inferring an IDF paramilitary organ out of this report, along with attendant accusations of "treason" and "Israel-first"ism, is not so much the expression of an "idea" as the action of a provocateur.
To the contrary: he managed to inflame many here into manifest foolishness with absurdities that should have triggered the "shoot first, ask questions later" response.
If White Christian or Atheist Americans "organized and trained as a militia" they would rounded up, imprisoned, and their communities could be WACO'ed. Double standard strikes again.
Have you seen some of their women?...

I really do hate the media as they print what the want to hear and not the whole story.
The only thing that makes this group JEWISH is that the founder is Jewish and lives in a Jewish community. The concepts of the group are “global”.
Any community that feels the government isn’t capable (history) of protecting life and property under extreme circumstances has the utmost right to defend itself.
All this group wants to do is to train people to do just that. To provide be the first responders when needed AND to provide the security lacking in the current governments action plans.
