it is not who shows, it is who doesn't show, and there are a lot of entertainers boycotting israel. i read the article. they sort o trash stevie wonder.
now, you know i rarely use the word "dualie" but sometimes it is appropriate, and this is one of those times. we have young men and women serving overseas and coming home all screwed up and these jewish americans are off fundraising for a foreign army. i checked their site. not one word about our own brave kids. i will question their loyalty. these americans are more loyal to israel than america, and at a time when our own kids need our support (and their support) so badly.
what if everyone did that...supported the armies of the countries of their ancestors at the expense of their own soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.
shame on the FIDF.
and knock it off with that stupid "jew hater" shite. long, long before, almost five years before, the israeli foreign ministry came out with the memorandum to stop using "anti-semite", i was telling you all that you were using it too much. "jew hater" is a poor substitute. it is silly name calling and a lot odf these so called "jew haters", many of the leaders of these alleged "jew haters", are jews themselves.
Does anyone really think that Seal would have called the Irish men dualies who used to put money in a bucket at the Irish bars here in America for the owners of the bars to send to the IRA? Of course he wouldn't. He would have stood at that bucket and told the bar patrons to not be cheap when it came to the IRA. So, Seal, how much time are you volunteering each day to help our boys who are coming home now. Tell us how involved you are.
well, hoss, i really can't do as much as i like or as much as i used to do. i don't get around so well...but i would regularly visit the VA hospital in seattle and talk to the vets and play checkers or cards with them or look at girlie magazines. and if i see a homeless vet on the street, i will see what i can to help him, even fi it is to slip him some coin or buy a bottle of his hard poison at the store andd go out and share with him and shoot the shite.
i would, when i was working, always take special care of the men and women i worked with who served. they received my special attention, and i was the old man in a workplace full of people under twenty-five.
now, i did check the FIDF website, a site for jewish americans, and not one single thing acknowledged even in the slightest our american troops at all, and many of them are coming home bleeding and broken, or in boxws, instead, it is all about the IDF, who are so well armed and so well protected they come out of their conflict with nary a scratch. the FIDF motto is "their job is to look after israel. our job is to look after them." i found that very offensive, as my son is in the service, and i do not think the term"dualie", when referring to the FIDF is at all inappropriate, in fact, i may heve been being to generous.
you would have to bring the irish into this...i thought you would have learned by now.
"The Medal of Honor citation for Harvey C. Barnum Jr. describes a young Marine lieutenant in Vietnam on Dec. 18, 1965, as he "moved fearlessly through enemy fire" and took actions "with complete disregard for his own safety."
"His sound and swift decisions and his obvious calm served to stabilize the badly decimated units and his gallant example as he stood exposed repeatedly to point out targets served as an inspiration to all," the citation reads.
On Tuesday evening, "Barney" Barnum was asked to serve again - this time from behind the bar at the Irish Pub's two Walnut Street locations in Center City.
He was joined by four other Medal of Honor recipients cheerfully tending bar and signing autographs to help raise money for the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation and the Travis Manion Foundation, named for a Bucks County native killed in Iraq in 2007.

so sure, the irish may drop a dime or a dollar in a bucket to support the IRA every now and again, but no one can ever question their loyalty to this country.
i mean, there are
18 congressional medal of honor (CMOH) recipients among jewish americans...and that is among jews born in america. there were no foreign born CMOH recipients...according to the jewish virtual library, and that claim, from sy brody, is somewhat dubious as at least one of those "ews" was a roman catholic.
ireland has about the same population, off and on, as american jews.
there are
19 CMOH recipients from tiny county cork in southern ireland alone.
the number of isish born recipients of the CMOH numbers 257.
the congressional medal of honor is also awarded in peacetime for bravery in the face of extreme danger. irish americans been awarded the medal 21 times, and among those 21 medals seventeen times were they awarded to irish born americans.
Of the 3,464 Medals of Honor awarded as of September 17, 2009, an estimated 2,018 have been awarded to Irish-American recipients, more than twice the number awarded any other ethnic group

again, jewish americans have been awarded the CMOH 18 times in our history...think about that as i recall to you that 5 irish-american recipients showed up together one night to tend bar in philly and raise money for our troops now serving.
my gratitude goes out to all the recipients of the CMOH regardless of their ethnicity and all those who served in any capacity in our armed sevices. i am particularly proud to have served in the same army and at the same time as col. (ret.) jack jacobs, who is perhaps the bravest man alive in america today. he makes me smile when i see him doing analysis on tv, to know thaat our country has produced such noble and honourable and valorous men.
