On that you're probably right. If the bible, koran and torah are of any value at all it is as documentation of one group of people's - the semites - refusal to get along with each other and I am indeed agaist that, "anti" that. <br /><br />All the moreso when their adolescent squabbles ore whose imaginary dog has the bigger dick threatens the survival of my grandchildren.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-75595567620220884542013-02-03T12:58:44.885-05:002013-02-03T12:58:44.885-05:00fuck is wrong with you people

Re...But but but Ex, they're The Chosen People.<br /><br />Reality: the vast majority of Jewry today are not descended of the biblical Hebrew but rather of Khazars, Russian Mongols who not necessarily converted but assumed the mantle of "Jew" in the sixth century Gregorian. Look it up, it makes for some interesting reading. Notably the tomes published by Israelii academics.<br /><br />No fear...Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-45631095036647406852013-02-01T23:45:34.460-05:002013-02-01T23:45:34.460-05:00I'd describe it as pathetic, really.
lets be ...I'd describe it as pathetic, really. <br />lets be clear Jew is neither a race nor a nationality, but a religion a dogmatic culture, the same as Muslim. <br />In and of it's self it has no real meaning.<br />it's a bit like describing both my mother and father as Christians.<br />Dad was an Catholic of sorts.<br />Mom is a now a fundie(7day Adventist.)<br />Neither denomination recognised the other ar valid. in fact her lot accuse the Catholics as trying to control all churches through the ecumenical congress. Where have we head that brand of manipulated fear/paranoia before? Yep you're correct it is standard operating procedure for the conservative mind set … people who want to feel important they have a divine inspired vision of the absolute truth(sic) . They want to circle the wagons of like minded and EXCLUDE those who aren't ...look at the Brethren and Scientology. Oh yes the hard core Republicans/Tea Bagers (truth in convenient disposable packages) .<br />The israeli's ( a national identity isn't uniformly ) devoutly Jewish they run the gambit. There are even 'secular” (sic?) Jews. Nor are they all like Licud and their rabid (apartheid inclined) bed fellows. <br />Likewise calling one bunch of Terrorists/ butchers, Muslim/ Islamic terrorists gives them what they want confirmation of their cause. Which by the way, is as far from the very much larger majority of Mainstream Muslims, as Koresh (Waco) was from mainstream Christians. Keep in mind the Oklahoma Bomber was nominally a Christian but was influenced by the white supremacy movement and Koresh.<br />Al Qaeda is a convenient brand in that it conjures up fear in the minds of the west. In truth the original Al Qaeda was tolerated under sufferance by the Taliban. In truth Al Qaeda are the equivalent to Koresh's motley lot. Brainwashed ignorant and emotionally vulnerable Muslims. But lets be clear a firearm or bomb doesn't need to be intelligent it is never the less dangerous. <br /><br />My point is Terms like Jew, Muslim, and Al Qaeda are in and of themselves overly simplistic generalised created prejudice laden. This is a convenient way for the Wealthy (our de facto puppet masters) to duck having to explain their actions by invoking some of the strongest emotions ...Fear, patriotism (belonging) , importance etc. <br />Examinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990595916031900662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-63631993632149574352013-02-01T16:11:02.273-05:002013-02-01T16:11:02.273-05:00But, but, but - BESS MYERSON!!!

That "My father...my mother...I" seems like a cri de coeur from a guy who as a closeted gay man chose one form of Jewishness while hiding from the world an equally important part of his life.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-4568170556333127152013-02-01T15:04:06.483-05:002013-02-01T15:04:06.483-05:00I find that headstone sadder than irritating.
