Why Israelis support the Gaza offensive

Israel's post-traumatic war is not just about stopping Hamas rockets, but about repairing reputations -- and erasing the stain of failure.

    "Jewish Only"

    You are lying and slandering me: "Most" does not mean "as a whole."

    ---

    I see it all the time. Jews only help other Jews, to hell with everybody else.

    "Never again" means never again to Jews. How many millions of dollars went to building yet another Holocaust museum during the past 20 years, while genocides were occuring around the world?

    Katrina - "we give money to help other Jews relocate down here."

    Charity - I just saw a pic of Oksana Baiul (bless her cute little heart), and the caption said she was at a charity event to help Jewish children in Odessa. I have never in my life been to a Catholic charity event that helps only Catholics. We help EVERYONE. I cannot imagine the mindset that would say "only Catholic children" get assistance.

    Reverse discrimination in the publishing, media, entertainment, and financial industries. Read the blogs at the financial websites after Bernie Madoff (and all his Jewish friends) lost billions. So many people were saying how "it serves them right," because they never gave a hand to help anybody else who was non-Jewish. Oh, but chalk that up to that elusive recessive anti-Semite gene the entire world carries.

    Listen, I know there is no such thing as "the Jews." I know there are good and bad Jews the wold over. But overwhelminlgy, in my experience with the world in the past 20 years, I have to say, in all honesty, I have found the Jews that I have met and seen to be very racist and very elitist. They just don't give a shit about anybody but their own. And right now, they own the airwaves. They are on TV and in the papers everyday. Own up.

    If you are a Jew and reading this, look into it. I think it's a cultural problem, and it makes people dislike Jews in general. You want anti-Semitism to go away? Then tell your fellow powerful Jews to quit being such dicks.

    No offense, Roseanne Barr.
