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.
@VirginUrgin: Except for our daddies all men are only good for bringing home the turkey bacon. Didn't she tell you that too? It's on the same page of the booklet Hadassah sends out when you have a baby. Unfortunately they won't be sending out that booklet this year bc Uncle Bernie took Hadassah for 90 million.
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'.
@overunderover: If all the white motherfuckers hadn't locked us out of the guilds and other professions all those centuries, maybe the question would be different. Just sayin'.
@overunderover: Also, don't we ALL have business dealings? I mean, isn't signing a lease a business dealing? Selling your car? I don't think this means specifically business people...
@overunderover: Well, maybe God is trying to figure out whether you KILLED anyone during your business dealings...but he doesn't want to be all in your face about it...
@overunderover: Feel better, OUO. By the way, and for future reference, when a Jewess says "those are fighting words," what she really means is "I would like to mount you."
@overunderover: As far as I know, all religions have some stupid concept or another ('afterlife' and such). 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."
Indeed. Much like how R. Kelly really didn't help the base, sexually immoral stereotypes of black men. And how Kim Jon Il hasn't helped the PR of the ronery.
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.

@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.
We apologize, a correction from our translator: These are bodies of Gypsies, Serbs, and Jews: victims of Ustasa (Croatian fascist) atrocities on the banks of the Sava River. Jasenovac concentration camp, Yugoslavia, between 1941 and 1945.
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? Because if so, how convenient for you and way to give the fascists publicity.

@JinxyMcDeath: Personally, were I God, I'd have led with something a bit more.... overarching (?) like.. "Hey, you kill anyone?"
It is amazing, however, how a mini little ADL pops up should any comment on Judaism appear.

And you're probably right about the lyrics. I always thought that was the most idiotic of all of those songs we had to learn.

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.

After that, I poured out the juice when he wasn't araound.
