That is such an old one. Did you just hear it? How about the one where one old Jewish man says to another something like he gave up reading the Jewish newspapers because all he read was bad news. Now he reads the Arab newspapers where they claims the Jews are doing so well that they own everything and are controlling the world.. Or did you ever hear the one about the Messiah showing up in Israel, and the taxi driver asks him if this is his first or second visit?A reporter goes to Israel to cover the fighting. She is looking for something emotional and positive and of human interest. Something like that guy in Sarajevo who risked his life to play the cello everyday in the town square.From Hoss
Than I would have to say there are many extremists on this board who hate the Jews so deeply that they are mentally ill. As one poster used to say on another board -- anti-Semitism is a mental illness. No way do I think these posters are actually Arab lovers. They are using these Arabs in their hatred and fight against the Jews.
So true Hoss------I stumbled into NAZI literature as a child in my hometown-----really a child----like 10-11 years old and not a particularly sophisticated child----I did not even know I was reading nazi literature when I first began to read it It seemed to be about jews. --------and another group of people called "arabs" Lots of it was very old----old ragged pamphlets ------in those the JEWS were WARMONGERS because they seemed to have something against ADOLF HITLER----who never did a nasty thing in his life. Some of it was more recent----and involved "arabs" whom the jews were "putting in concentration camps"----syria was an issue ----at that time all the syrians I knew were christians with some extra lines on their cross Lebanon was mentioned (also christians as far as I knew) and GAZA which seemed to be presented back then in the 50s as a concentration camp in Israel The people in my hometown were bigoted bastards-----in fact there was not ONE BLACK in the entire town and they were not particularly delighted that some jews had moved in. Some of the social places were "restricted" -----but according to the literature they had ------they certainly LIKED "arabs"
keep in mind----these people would get suspicious if someone LOOKED ITALIAN ----but they certainly LIKED ARABS or so their literature suggested
In Jerusalem, she heard about an old Jew who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She goes to the Wailing Wall and there he is!
So she watches him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview.
"Rebecca Smith, CNN News. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?"
"For about 50 years."
"What do you pray for?"
"For peace between the Jews and the Arabs. For all the hatred to stop. For our children to grow up in safety and friendship."
"How do you feel after doing this for 50 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a fucking wall."
