Its never a good idea for any administration official to tell an ethnic joke.

You are right. No administration official should ever tell an ethnic joke...but I am not an administration official. Did you hear the one about the black Arab who became president?

Pretty funny joke...but I agree with “cripplecreek” that its probably a bad idea for anyone in public life to tell an ethnic joke of any kind...people have become so thin skinned in this PC world.
To: Nachum
The Jews will laugh since it’s a DEMOCRAT telling it.

You are correct. But it’s still a funny joke.

THIS administration? As long as it isn’t anti-muslim, all are in play, but particularly denigrating Judaism and/or Christianity is always OK.

It is noteworthy that Haaretz would take even mild umbrage at someone telling Jewish jokes.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a joke about Jews, Italians, Irish, Polish or Scandinavians- you just don’t do it.

Nachum, the anti-Semitism of this administration, of the people in the highest positions of our national security organization are obvious to anyone who is paying attention. We have seen this before. We are seeing it again.

I am not particularly MR. PC, but seriously if you are National Security Advisor, you give up the right to tell jokes about any group.

A Taliban militant gets lost and is wandering around the desert looking for water. I found the joke amusing. The Jewish merchant was just trying to help the fellow. Perhaps the Taliban guy already had a tie. Everybody carries an extra tie! Ha ha.
Government officials telling jokes in public does not work any more. Inadvisable.
