Shuman the Human.

If the Palestinians were Jews, would that make nay difference to you?

Well, okay, as far as that goes, all men are brothers, or at the least fifth cousins, I believe.

At this point, a more realistic question would be whether Zionists even consider the Palestinians to be human. Many, many statements they make beg that question.

Hey Celery and other ancients, does anyone remember that R.Crumb comic effort "Shuman (Schuman?) the Human"? No fair using the net!

@ Listen Sugar

(yes, i do read your posts, and i hope that along with your honda you found your shiksa and got married had little goyyim and are as happy as an ex-jew can possibly be

Asshole, you trying to tell me Jews don't ride motorcycles?

Well, lemme tell you something, pal, when The Litvaks get ahold of you, well, let's just say they'll know what to do!

Well, I must admit I myself had doubts when they told me I had to put a red-hot rock in my gas tank, but who'm I to argue with tradition.

Oh, and how's your home life, now that you've described mine.

A Shonda! A Honda!

What! You think life is simple for us! I do have to admit I happily drove those wonderful BMW air-cooled flat-twins for years (had "all three", the 600, 900, and 1K). Gosh, they were wonderful bikes, never been surpassed in certain ways, and may never be. And jeez, you could buy them for a song at that time. Anyway, it's true, one day I was riding, in fact coming north on I-5 past Tacoma when I just came all over queasy. Did those guys at the BMW shop not like me? And not just cause I came in to buy their products and services for money. (The motorcycle business was very different back then) Could it be... Wait a minute, what kind of guy rides a bike associated with... I could see it leading right to some more of those "fly on the wall" experiences I had no wish to repeat.

No shit, I went home and lost interest in the things, sold them soon after. Always felt funny when I rode them after that. Which was a real mistake, I guess. But all you gotta do is look at the emblem the wrong way and it's 1938. True story.

No offense to BMW bike owners intended, I never saw any indication that BMWs were associated with neo-fascism (or any other politics, for that matter) Or BMW. It was a purely private freakout.

The Choosen People.

"unlike you God blessed me"

Gosh, I thought our relationship with the Almighty was more problematic than that, but if you say so.

@cocktailhag

Oh, You won't learn anything from Electro or Sugarman. You see, they always try to present Zionism in the best light they can, and make it appear to its best advantage. Especially, they will moderate any sentiments which might look prejudiced or racist, and always try to appear reasonable.

Notice, also, the way they try to be inclusive of anyone who says they are Jewish. A liberal interpretation of the question "who is a Jew, and who gets to say he isn't" is a very good policy when only a remnant survive. Me, I wouldn't exclude anyone who says they are a Jew, but sugar and Electro may have higher standards. God knows, we have to keep them high, what with everybody trying to get in a get a piece of the action.

Yeah, they're smooth as silk.

@Mr. Snoid

You didn't Google cheat, I feel sure. Ah, how the years fall away as I repeat those names! I remember a certain Pirate captain with a unique method of avoiding gingivitis, and so much more.

I didn't bring this up, did I? We better drop it.

Eventually i had to "roll my own"

Charming description of courtship there, fella. You must be a real helpmate. Yeah, I thought about tearing my wife away from the religion she learned, literally, at her mother's knee, and relies on to an extent which may be unknown to me, and demanding conversion as a prerequisite for marriage. She certainly offered, as she felt a wife ought.

Only later, after about a year of blissful matrimony, did I learn that my darling wife had blasted her first husband right into a wheelchair. After that, I forgot about religious harraunges and got the garbage up to the curb on time. I wasn't gonna end up like him, the poor schmuck.

That digging sound you hear

is me burying the hatchet, and the scraping sound is the match for the peace-pipe. After all:

when the ladino perished the ashkenazi bloomed and when they ended it became our time, just as it is now barack's, which sounds blessed to me.

"It is now barack's"!! Dave, my man, if you are voting Obama, too, all friction is smoothed, all arguements forgotten. Us Obama voters gotta stick together. See you at the polls, and say a brocha for Barack, every day!

Barack "Hasbara" Obama

Dave, you've got Obama all up to speed on what he needs to do for Israel and all, right? You finding his foreign policy input acceptable? He got the advisors you would wish?

Sure O'Bama is a grand Irish name, but he has got Israel's back, right?

"Obama Likes Jews"

Now that's good to know. So all that stuff they're pushing about Obama and Hamas and him being next door to a Moslem terrorist, and all, I should just pay no attention to? Good.

You don't think maybe the reason "Obama likes Jews" is cause he took a little try at defusing that old Palestinian Demographic Time Bomb. I wouldn't want to say, he, ah... "rolled his own" but maybe he tried boiling a bagel, if you get my drift. Jewish women can be very persuasive, you know.
