Uhhh... Sarah Silverman pretty much demolishes that fine line I set above. Some of that was cringeworthy but I laughed at 'get off your fat Jewish asses' (sorry).
Anyone that doesn't 'get it' is, of course, someone without a sense of humour.
Unfortunately those that 'get it appear, to me ,to be without a sense of history.
At the same time, if we watch John Stewart's comments on Israel specifically and Jews generally, we will notice that the suffering of Palestinians does not at all appear on his radar. He very much endorses the idea of Jews as eternal victims...despite the nefarious consequences that this idea continues to have.
Best Wishes.
The Great Schlep isn't a joke. It's a mobilisation of Jews behind Obama on the grounds that he supports liberal causes assumed to be supported by Jews in America whilst hypocritically supporting zionism in occupied Palestine. Plus they shouldn't worry because he's not a Muslim.
I haven't seen that much of Jon Stewart. I thought his AIPAC hatchet job was spot on though.
We're gonna have to agree to differ on this.
SS is a court jester making fun of political ads in general (her exaggerated fear of Obama's middle name, which you just know is a non-issue the right wing shows beat to death) using her usual irreverent humor.
SS is really doing a political advert in her wacky, irreverent style, and basically means what she says.
If there's any dead giveaway, it's the demagogic 'he'll be better for Israel'.
Maybe you prefer the cartoons in Der Stuermer?
No job too low for David Toube's assistant smear merchant.
It's Der Stürmer actually and while you were buying drinks for Atzmon and helping him with his antisemitic campaign I was denouncing Mary Rizzo for her grotesque Der Stürmer style imagery.
I don't know where you get your ideas from you fucking idiot.

Talking of tubes,
I see your pal Der Taube has been in the news recently Murkey, and on your fave blog as well -
Fancy That - David Taube Signs up to Return Statement!

In case you have eyesight probs or the link to the above azvas webpage is a bit dodgy, here's a rough transcript -
I support the proposed statement AGAINST THE ISARELI [sic] LAW OF RETURN - FOR THE PALESTINIAN RIGHT OF RETURN and agree to the addition of my name to any published list of signatories.
I enclose a contribution of £...... towards the cost of publication.
NAME ... DAVID TOUBE ... TOWN ...LONDON...
ADDRESS (for correspondence only, not for publication)
.......................
.......................
...... TELEPHONE ......
SIGNATURE [handwritten] David Toube...
Please sign and send to:
RETURN, c/o Bradford Resource Centre, 31 Manor Row, Bradford BD1 4FS
Stewmers and tubers, wasn't it always thus!
Joe, it's Toube not Taube. I think Taube might be an Elton John collaborator. Toube's more of an Atzmon collaborator. And far from denying having been anti-zionist, he enigmatically makes out that he is anti-zionist now but then you would have seen that on the Socialist Unity's misguided "solidarity with Harry's Place" post.
The beauty of the Return statement isn't that it is anti-zionist but that, unlike HP or Engage, it actually defines zionist and anti-zionist positions. That's the honest way.
Toube simply says he is anti-zionist because he is not comfortable with an ethnic definition for statehood and yet he is happy to promote posts and comments that say effectively, ho-hum what's wrong with Jews having their own homeland whilst conveniently ignoring everything the Return statement, that Toube signed, complained of to establish that homeland.
He also says that the right of return has to be denied because Palestinians want to annihilate Jews. No mention of the Jews that want to annihilate Arabs and do kill rather a lot of them.
He's been writing about himself quite a lot lately which is strange for someone who claims to want anonymity. I think there is a "narcissistic personality disorder" going on there somewhere. And he's joined the hunting pack against this Martin Shaw chap who had the temerity to oppose the boycott of Israel for the wrong reason. He doesn't think it's antisemitic so Hirsh, Geras and now Toube have had to straighten him out. Toube's contribution is to pretend that one person who led PSC when it was in the doldrums following Oslo, epitomises Palestine solidarity activism in the UK and what motivates it. Wait for it, antisemitism. yawn!

Mano a Murko,
tried this ploy with Tony Greenstein with predictable result except, as usual, TG's comments were far from predictable. An education in fact. Here -

Notice crikey mickey's stand out support for right-wing antismetism.
...let-wing antisemitis...
Given the way murkey's mind works
its diffucult to know what this statement means,
but as far as I can tell, the Lett's are not predisposed to antismeitism, unlike some zionists I could mention.
I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you, to find out there is left-wing anti-semitism going on in this casino!
When this jumped 10 posts overnite I knew the twat patrol arrived.
