Peacenik Jew Marries Arab (Adam Shapiro Barf Alert)

Peacenik Jew Marries Arab

ontroversial Brooklyn peace activist Adam Shapiro married the "enemy" yesterday.

Shapiro, a Jew who has been an outspoken critic of the Israeli invasion of the West Bank, tied the knot with longtime love Huwaida Arraf — a Palestinian peace activist from Detroit.

The couple — he is 30, she is 26 — were married in a Catholic ceremony at a Detroit-area church. The location was kept secret because Shapiro and his family in Sheepshead Bay have received death threats from angry Jews. More than 200 people attended the nuptials.

Shapiro traded his trademark grubby T-shirt and bandanna for a black tuxedo. The bride was radiant in a full-length white gown. The newlyweds met while working for a group that promotes cultural understanding between Jews and Palestinians.

The Shapiros, who live in Ramallah, will be honeymooning in the war-torn West Bank.

Not a bad idea for Jews and Palestinians to intermarry. After all our media promotes interracial marriages so why not between Semitic cousins?

Pretty much. Dictatorships (secular or religious) will always showcase one or two as "examples" of their compassion and benevolence. Of course, it's all a sham for others subject to their rule.

Thanks for the ping. I see Shapiro is still trying to buy martyrdom by claiming he's being hassled.

I dunno, Landru. Everyone keeps assuming this guy is gonna get his. Let's hope so, since the sooner he gets his, the fewer deaths he'll cause. But I've seen so many good die young, and so many of the world's Adam Shapiros die in bed at a ripe old age, that optimism is a luxury.

The only thing Jewish about the guy, is his attempt to buy retail at the wholesale price.

I'm no pacifist, and yet ... was a time when non-violence meant non-violence, and giants like Gandhi and King walked the Earth. And now? Now, we have bloodthirsty moral midgets like Adam Shapiro, who troll about in pacifist drag.

"Everyone keeps assuming this guy is gonna get his. Let's hope so, since the sooner he gets his, the fewer deaths he'll cause."

Oh, he'll "get his," alright.
The upside here, I suppose, is that one can only die once.

"But I've seen so many good die young, and so many of the world's Adam Shapiros die in bed at a ripe old age, that optimism is a luxury."

Yes that's very true, indeed; the good do die young, while the evil just seem to go on & on & on.
Perhaps the evil one's punishment is to remain; can't say for sure.
But just think of the weight the evil old SOBs bear all the way into the grave, eh?

There's a price paid, alright; make no mistake about that.
In the end, the books will be reconciled & there's simply no escaping it.
Just look at your own words, here;

"As for the wife, she apparently labors under a delusion similar to that of her husband: that the Arabs are still going to respect her the morning after."

Arabs couldn't care less what God she or he prays to.
No...what the Arabs will see is that she's an Arab married to a Jew.
That'll make her a traitor of the first order in their eyes, I should think.

Y'know, Arabs are as racist as any other peoples; &, you may take that to the bank.
That fact my friend, is simple human nature, eh?

...but face it: does this Shapiro character know how to "Play the room" or what?

the Jewish tradition of the groom breaking a glass with his shoe.

Does this putz have a clue what this ritual is supposed to represent? As it so happened yesterday I was at a real Jewish wedding (Jewish boy married Jewish girl--what a concept!) where this custom was explained for the benefit of people who might not understand why it is done.

"I will put Jerusalem at the head of all my joys." Meaning, that even at a wedding we mourn the destrustion of the Temple, caused mainly by jerks like Adam Shapiro.

Wedding night scenario;

Adam- “Oy baby, lets make lava!”

Huwaida- “Oh yes my darling, let me get my scimitar and C4, and call some of your Jewish friends over to watch.”

Adam-“Sounds cool!

KA... BOOOOOM!

Your observations provide me with some needed solace, L.

Does he ever!

Moi??
HA!
Nonsense; you're a smart, tough hombre'.
It'd take a lot more than the leaker Shapiro and his array of various & assorted publicity stunt(s) to rattle your cage.

...it was just the full moon's mischief; & now, that's past. ;^)

The couple — he is 30, she is 26 — were married in a Catholic ceremony at a Detroit-area church.

Why is the press describing this man as a Jew,and implying this woman is a Muslim? Neither appears to take their relative alleged religious affiliations very seriously. If they did,they wouldn't have been married in a Catholic church.

The location was kept secret because Shapiro and his family in Sheepshead Bay have received death threats from angry Jews.

Impossible! We all know from FR posters here that Jews never get angry or threaten anybody in any way. They are incapable of being aggressors.

More than 200 people attended the nuptials.

They were most likely attending to see somebody bite the head off a live chicken. They could have sold tickets to this freak show.

Why can't those Jews just be good and die quietly in the corner?

Because they tried that in the 1930's and 40's,and discovered that as a survival tactic,it didn't work real well.

You know, no matter what his politics are, he's still a Jew--living in Ramallah, for Pete's sake. When the jihadis come for him, they won't care if he's married to an Arab or if his politics are left of Ho Chi Minh. To them, he'll just be a Jew... like his mother and his father

You got that right, imo. Did you see the "interview" with Pearl before he got his head chopped off? In the one I saw, it seemed to me he was putting down (the policies of) Israel, and, America. Well, his leftist views (imo) sure didn't help him.
I wonder if Schmuckpiro has seen the film?
