Oh boy, this is making me think about the movie "Airplane."

Airplane with beard, kippah and tallit sitting on runway…. loudspeaker comes on: "Air Israel, please clear the runway….."

I've always thought that was hilarious…..ok, a bit racist, but the whole movie was pretty screwed up. Still, toned down alot from Kentucky Fried Movie…. WOW….

Okay, I've gotta stop….

Mikko, you've made this point on another site as well, but I'll answer you here. Every group, be it religious, ethnic, whatever, has 'self-haters' (some much more than others). Consequently, this fallacious argument that people use, and YOU are using, that if you are, say, Jewish you cannot be anti-Semitic is pure rubbish. For instance, some of the most profoundly anti-homosexual people were/are themselves gay. Well, this is true of the Jewish community. Jewish self-hatred is perhaps the oldest sport we've got, so please stop with this line of argument. If you'd like, I'll give you books and articles about this as there is an entire academic field dedicated to this phenomenon!
Hell, I have written on this to a limited extent even though it isn't central to my areas of study.

Next point, I can provide you a list of Jewish Jew-haters. Now, I have no idea if the person you mention above fits that criteria, but if they did, don't you think that it would, just maybe, undermine their credibility? After all, there were members of the friggin' Nazi party in the Second World War who were Jewish by various standards, and at least one example where intervened personally on behalf on his Jewish friend (if you're interested, look up Emil Maurice). With this in mind, I would find out more about Shaul's politics before citing him….

and being Jewish is NOT enough. After all, it isn't just Norway that has had Quislings…..

This doesn't surprise me. After all, they're essentially a Nordic Saudi Arabia: a buttload of oil, a monarchy from a bygone era, and full blown anti-Semitism. They've even got a county full of Muslims now! Yup, what's the diff?

Blue-and-white granny glasses?

And I'm going to that bus station tomorrow.

As the Rabbis said, "I only appoint your enemies from among yourself".

By the term Rogue state Bush meant illegitamate – or to put it another way, bombable.

An NGO can be anything. The B'hai is an NGO. Ditto the Agudah. My cousin headed the united Israeli Women's organiztions, and went down to a UN conference in Nairobi and defended Israel during the Year of the Woman. (She said the women were all right. The problem was the second part when the men – the people with the actual power – met.)

The video on Iran vs. Israel in an air war was informative and not just a little bit scary. Wasn't it in 2009 that Obama met with Netanyahu and promised to rein in Iran's nuclear program by September–of 2009?

1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?
2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, {N}
against the LORD, and against His anointed:
3 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'
4 He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.
5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:
6 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'
– Psalms 2

I'm worried about how we behave as the Jewish people, not what happens to Europe.

Norway has fallen far since Edvard Grieg canceled all his concerts in France to protest the Dreyfus travesty more than a century ago.
