50 vs. 3

this seems pretty ridiculous. why didn't the group of 50 just pummel the crap out of the 3? the 3 were french so it isn't like they would have put up much of a fight...

50 vs. 3

I think those 50 showed they were better people by not descending on those three.

They coulda spewed vitriol at 'em. No, seriously, Jews usually don't fight back--unless they are the Israeli Army, then duck.

i understand that they did the proper thing by not resorting to violence. i just would have rather seen the headline look something like this: Jews kick Frog Butt. film at 11.

I think the JDL would differ with you.

Did I defame anyone? I am just going on what my Jewish friends tell me. And observation. My boyfriend is Jewish! He says Jews typically don't like confrontation.

So I guess this means you haven't met his mother yet.

xoxoxoBruce--I think we both know that I am overly sensitive. Where are all the Palestinian supporters? I expected to see quite a backlash...maybe later?

Right you are. It's just that if you talk about one...you usually end up talking about the other. Cyclical.

*Considers jumping in with a comment on the Palestinians' suffering at the hands of violent Israelis but then decides theres no real point and goes off somewhere quiet for a joint instead*

I was friends with Irv Ruben (Leader of the JDL) before he was murdered by the FBI when their case was falling apart and it was coming out that they falsely accused him of trying to blow up a Muslim mosque to try to get people to stop being so angry at Arabs in America.

Atually , just as an amusing aside, my ex and I both had to leave an English class at college and take the course on home study because my ex got into a fist fight in the middle of a class debate with someone who made a rather unfortunate remark about the "jews meekly walking into the gas chambers" Needless to say since he'd launched an atack on the little shit I was voicing my suport from the sidelines. *smiles* in our defense regarding the inappropriate response we were only 20 at the time....The correct response might have been to wait til he got out of the college buildings and trash him on the way homer....only kidding of course

I visited Auschwitz this last June when I went to Eastern Europe. I'm not Jewish, but it was still one of the most depressing places I've ever been to--really awful. Why would anyone who is anti-semitic go there in the first place? Pretty sick.
