100 is a pretty pathetic number, but it’s a start.
Jews say no to AIPAC and say no to bombing Syria
In three days 100 Jews from around the world signed on to a statement sharply critical of AIPAC and other Jewish bodies lobbying for President Obama’s war resolution against Syria. Hopefully people will refer to it in their efforts with the media, Congress, teach-ins and rallies. It reads:
We Jews Oppose Calls for the U.S. to Bomb Syria
We are appalled that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is sending hundreds of people to lobby Congress to approve a resolution to bomb Syria. The media also reports that Sheldon Adelson and the Republican Jewish Coalition are pushing hard for war. We don’t want it to be known that Jews stood silent as the powerful Israel lobby helped push the U.S.into a war in defiance of international law and American public opinion.
The Israeli government should stop pointing the finger and admit its own abuses of chemicals. It used white phosphorus in its terrible 2008 attack on Gaza. Over the years it has used tear gas recklessly and killed and sickened many, many Palestinians.
The Israeli government’s apparent belief that Jews are better off if Arab or Muslim countries are devastated one after another must be challenged and repudiated.

Jews having sex:

Or is that Z?
Sara cannot make a case based in fact must resort to bullshit.
SSDD
2nd laugh of the day! 🙂
Llpoh loves Jews

Wow.
Calling out a poster in a title thread.
A first. Me no likey.
llpoh will deal harshly with you.
Zarathustra is turning into a one-trick pony

Only true Christians can be true Jews cause only true Christians can be called God’s chosen people…Mz was beat over the head with the Talmud all his young life.That’s what is wrong.bb
Zara, you have angered Lipoh the Outsourcer, he will now have you replaced by a Hindu working for 1/3 of your wages.
Stucky, this joint could use a good flame war. However I am in the midst of packing for teh move so I am only online sporadically until I get settled in Teyhas. Till then, do not mistake silence for submission.
These Jews are clearly anti-Semitic.
Z – seriously, you are a low life piece of shit. You cannot win an argument logic, fact, or reason, so you resort to this bullshit. Sane people know what you are. Your crowning glory was to say that the Jews killed JFK. Go fuck yourself.
Cynic – seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? Stupid cunt.
AWD – I happened on an old thread. Glory by, there was Z posting the same shit. His pony has been ridden so much it has saddle sores.
Stuck – me no likey either. Fucker really is a dick.
Mr Z Lipo called you a low life piece of shit……I will respond for you.A lot of you on this site remind me of my x wife…….pick pick pick and I could never get her to shut up even when we were having sex.
Once again, this time with gusto …..
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
What is it about “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” that is so difficult to understand?
AIPAC, Code Pink, The Wilderness Society, NRA, Southern Poverty Law Center, NAACP and on and on ad naseum. It’s the RIGHT granted to citizens to form whatever group they want and take their views to elected officials. And even hire people, those evil lobbyists, to do that for them. Period. End of story.
SSS – many “libertarians” around here seem happy to strip Constitutional rights when it suits their personal agenda.
bb -A lot of you on this site remind me of my x wife
that dry , huh?

Llpoh,
I really must tell you that its impressive how you adhere to your user nick. Not many can walk the talk the way you do. I for one can appreciate the way you dissect the truth from the jive in an articulate way.
VERY well done Llpoh and very well said!
