Remember the fun "Arafat Dead! Not Dead!" Game we played? We're playing it with Castro this time.

Seriously he's not been seen lately and he's missed a couple of events. His birthday is on the 26th, I suspect we'll know by then.

Personally I think he's either in a "coma" or in a freezer and that the big birthday celebration will turn out to be a state funeral. But then I'm an optimist.

Get real. I would like to claim I am half Jewish but have family lines on my dad's side that are Jewish, not my mom's. Thus, not half Jewish. That is how it works.

Sammie! Hey you...where the blue blazes have you been?

Yeesh...INN: 1350 missiles/ rockets so far....Commander of Northern Command, Major Gen Udi Adam gave a deadline to Lebanese in southern Lebanon 2 hours to leave their home. Israel will be attacking southern Lebanon in 2 hours.

That's a heck of a way to run a war...tell the enemy when you're going to attack.

Didn't Venezuela or somewhere announce he was dead last week and then retracted it?

However, I prefer not to be lectured to about why someone is considered half Jewish when in Judaism there is no such thing.

Do I have to say for a third time that technically, from a religious viewpoint you are correct, but common usage-wise, you aren't? Just go around to any of your non-Jewish friends (I'm sure you must have some) and ask them if a person is born of one parent that is Jewish and one who is not, whether your friend would say that person is 1/2 Jewish. I think you need a reality check as to how the word Jewish is commonly used among the "masses". I'm not saying that this isn't a usage based on ignorance of the Jewish religion. It is. But it's a misconception that the vast majority of non-Jews have. No value judgment attached, just the way it is, unless you choose to ignore that which is true.
