WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE

I don't understand it. Why are they so accepting of...EVERYTHING?

5:Crazy Jewmouse gun nut

It was 5:45 a.m. in the Ibrahim Mosque and 800 Muslim worshipers, their heads bowed in silent dawn prayer, knelt in neat rows on red carpets.

Then shots rang out. The gunman was Baruch Goldstein, 38, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-born physician from Kiryat Arba, a nearby settlement. Wearing the olive-green uniform of an Israeli army major, he burst into the Ibrahim Mosque in the Cave of the Patriarchs, a shrine holy to both Jews and Muslims.

JERUSALEM -- The mother of Baruch Goldstein, the Jewish settler who massacred about 40 Palestinians in a Hebron mosque a week ago, says she is proud of her son.

"I always thought to myself, 'When would someone get up and do such a thing?' And in the end, my son did it," Miriam Goldstein told the weekly Shishi newspaper.

Oh lordy, then comes the day I start to agree with Hirtes, truly a sign of the apocalypse I say!

Both groups grew out of the anti-Arab teachings of Rabbi Meir Kahane, an American-born extremist (...) In 1968, Kahane, who trained as a lawyer and rabbi, formed the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a militant group that promoted Jewish vigilantism and urged American Jews to arm themselves under the slogan “every Jew a .22.” (...) The State Department’s designation of the two groups as foreign terrorist organizations makes it illegal for Americans to fund them; nonetheless, U.S. officials suspect that Kach and Kahane Chai receive money from sympathizers in the United States (...) Some of Meir Kahane’s former associates remain active in the United States; in December 2001, two JDL leaders in California were charged with planning bomb attacks on a mosque, a Muslim advocacy organization, and the offices of an Arab-American congressman.

Kahanists have also shot, stabbed, and thrown grenades at Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank. In cases where Kach and Kahane Chai have not themselves claimed responsibility for anti-Arab attacks, Kahane and his followers have declined to condemn such violence and have often glorified it. (...) Israeli authorities also foiled the Machteret’s plans to blow up Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque, which is built atop the contested holy site known by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and by Jews as the Temple Mount. Destroying the mosque, experts say, could provoke a massive Middle Eastern conflict. (...) In April 2002, Israeli police arrested a former Kach spokesman in connection with an attempt to leave an explosive-packed trailer outside a Palestinian girls’ school and hospital in East Jerusalem (...) Yigal Amir, who assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, was not a member of Kach or Kahane Chai. However, the assassin interacted with many Kahanists within Israel’s radical right and had contacts with a far-right Israeli group that is another offshoot of Kach. Binyamin Kahane would not condemn Rabin’s murder and said that “a person could understand Amir.”

Wow.... BBC never tells these things..

"In the 1890s Wharton started to contribute to Scribner's Magazine, but later, even at the height of her fame, she had problems with magazine cencorship. 'The Day of the Funeral' was considered "too strong" for the Ladies' Home Journal in 1931. 'Beatrice Palmato', *a story of incest, was never finished, but it gave fuel to speculations that Wharton herself was a victim of abuse. She once wrote: 'Brains & culture seem non-existent from one end of the social scale to the other, & half the morons yell for filth, & the other half continue to put pants on the piano-legs.'

Michael Hirtes: "Knowing that the artist condones incest, I tend to retch at the sight of his stuff now."

Yeah, let's burn all of Edith Wharton's books while we're at it.

Dumbass

Kind of OT - but how come so many Republicans and (US) rightwingers are defenders of Israel - no matter what it does - when you just know that if they'd been born sixty years ago they'd be rampant Jew baiters?

And these guys are defending him this world is insane.

So Israeli society seems culturally closer to us. They seem much closer to the American LifestyleTM than Palestinians. At least, at a FIRST glance, because if we browse a little deeper, we're going to find groups of 'ortodoxian Jews', probably as retrograde and conservative as the Wahhabi Muslims.

And on the other comparision, I just can't see any difference:

The gun-toting crazies are... I'm not sure, a sects of sorts, I guess... but they aren't what I'd call "orthodox Jews".

Well, most Republicans are fundamentalist Christians. If you haven't heard, their nutcase doomsday prophecies depend on the survival of Israel as a nation, therefore their support is unconditional.

'nation of Jews fighting the good fight against those dirty terrorist A-rabs'

Having said that, things might be different back East. Like a wholly different nation, I hear entire cities just shut down after 11PM, and rumors spread about this 'South' rising again...

Politics aside. Perhaps we should start a strip like the 'not sabrina online' for better days? What do you say? The first strip could be the Fisk family reunion/orgy, and we can have a dew hyenas eat watermelons or whatnot.

Free clues for everyone, I'm feeling generous :

* MH is a troll
* Incest art != RL incest
* Writing about incest != condoning incest
* It's okay not to like a person's work for stupid reasons, as long as you don't try to convince people with those

For Great Justice !

So while all fundamentalist Christians might be Republican, most Republicans aren't fundamentalist Christians.

Notice that it's for a burger and not a cheeseburger. Kosher dietary laws have a big bug up their butts about beef & lactose products getting in contact with each other (which I guess means all those beef pizzas I've eaten are gonna send me straight to Hell, literally).
