Jewish crime is usually tolerable when the criminal acts alone. When we spend a generation in a Russian prison or get together with the Italians, though, holy shit.

I knew Foxman was an asshole ever since I read his statement in which he wrote that the ADL was not going to acknowledge the Armenian genocide because it would hurt Turkey's feelings. What. The. Fuck.

If the first question when a Jew appears before God is: "Were you honest in your business dealings?" - doesn't that, in effect, perpetuate said stereotype? Just sayin'.

It cracks me up when someone considers the merits of one religion against the merits of another. It's like listening to rednecks argue over which damn pick-up truck is better than the other. None of it makes sense. Just drop it.

"Here is a Jew accused of cheating Jewish organizations trying to help other Jews, they say, and of betraying the trust of Jews and violating the basic tenets of Jewish law. A Jew, they say, who seemed to exemplify the worst anti-Semitic stereotypes of the thieving Jewish banker."

Agreed. I was personally embarassed. We don't need to give fucktards a reason to say, "see!"

There's a Chasidich attorney that I have a case with and he's a lying psycho douchebag that would spout insanities at all our conferences. I swear, the first time one of those conferences was over I announced, "Um, as a Jew, can I just apologize for, um, that..." And the other attorneys were like "Yea, we're Jewish, too. That guy needs to be quarantined."

Wherever you go, there's always someone Jewish. You're never alone when you say you're a Jew. So when you're not home and you're feeling kind of newish, the odds are don't look far 'cause Jews defraud Jews.

Am I the only one who learned those lyrics back in Hebrew school and at Jew camp?

The ADL is farkakteh. Looking to them for logic is like asking a gentile to enjoy gribenes.

And it's true that Madoff broke Jewish law, as well as these other goyische laws. In olden times, he would have been shunned or smited.

@Smitros: Gribenes is like the chicken version of pork cracklings, but a bit funkier in execution. You can get it at the Second Avenue Deli, or at my grandmother's table; she is now residing in the Garden of Eden with my grandfather and God (in that order), so you'll have to die to get some. I recommend a trip to New York instead.

I've worked as a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization in a predominately Protestant, ruby-red state. The most civic-minded philanthropies I've dealt with are founded and administered by several prominent Jewish families. The Protestants (Baptists mostly) are shockingly disinterested in the well-being of the community. (I'm Roman Catholic).

@ekrub: In Judaism, tzedukah, or charity, is not optional, it is a commandment. If you are going to live righteously, you must donate and help in your community, and if you've got more than you need, you should endow, usually in memory of a loved one.

What Madoff pulled off? We call that a shanda--a shameful thing.

Wait, are you suggesting that the ADL's pointing out that the frothing antisemitism flooding the net IS NOT THE SAME AS COMMENTERS BEING THE NEW JEWS, because antisemitism has had historically genocidal consequences and that such a comparison is offensive?
