Last fall I noted that three of the American League ballclubs that were in the playoffs had Jewish guys as top execs. Tonight’s Super Bowl featured two clubs with Jewish ownership. Robert Kraft’s Patriots, and the Giants, half-owned by the Tisches. The lesson is the same as last fall: Jews are principals in American society. Any effort to portray my people as outsiders or discriminated against is an abuse of reason… No, celebrate it; and come up with a new ethos of leadership…
(P.S. Kraft has underwritten the Kraft center for Jewish life at his alma mater, Columbia U., which generally aligns Jewish identity with Israelism. In the lobby, the Zionist Organization of America stacks cards telling you how to support Israeli soldiers. On the second floor, the cafe serves Middle Eastern food and advertises it as "a taste of home.")

"a new ethos of leadership…"
Sounds good to me. But it's going to be hard to build an ethos of leadership on a foundation of separatism, as the two don't mix well.

First they steal the land. And then they steal the falafel. Without a history involving either. These people are without shame.
Word is out all over Boston – The Giants, err Jews, did in the Patriots.
Please sign this petition to bar Jews from owning sports teams.

"In the lobby, the Zionist Organization of America stacks cards telling you how to support Israeli soldiers."
Given that the U.S. sends $3 billion a year to Israel, anyone who pays taxes can answer the Zionist Organization of America, "No thanks, I gave at the office."
I'm guessing that Jews probably own 70% of the NFL, NBA, and major league baseball teams. I also assume that there is a fair amount of fixing going on, just as they do to our foreign policy.
The Center for Christian Jewish Learning at BC is paid at least half by the Krafts.
It has provided a forum for Islamophobic incitement and gives a podium about half the time time to scholars who simply lie about the history of Judaism and Christianity.
It is unfortunate because Philip Cunninghan, who runs the center, has a good understanding of historical practice and of the issues of Christian and Jewish relations.
Yet, he also knows who the paymaster is.
When I suggested that the Center was tailoring its scholarship to the desires of the funders, he was incensed at the thought that the Center would provide anything but disinterested scholarship in its field.
I asked him if he had ever heard of Wissenschaft des Judentums, and of course many might argue that there is no such thing as disinterested scholarship.
There are no disinterested scholars, but there is scholarly submission to the data–and although some interpretation of data is subjective in some measure, the Zionist refusal to follow through on one's findings (e.g., Benny Morris moral failure to judge ethnic cleansing as immoral) shows a human failure to submit to the findings of scholarship. The priests who looked through Galileo's telescope could not allow themselves to see Jupiter's moons–their entire theology would have collapsed. The true scientist is the servant of the data, not its master.
Forgive my error of logic above–the point is correct, but using Bennie Morris' moral failure does NOT illustrate the point I am making. Morris accepted the implications of the data, but did not draw the appropriate (in my view) moral judgments from them.
I watched most of the ball game. As a born gentile (despite Maurice Samuel), I have no real interest in sports. But I rooted for the underdog and was happy for a second when they won. Today's underdog is tomorrow's opressor. I look at actions, not rhetoric. Hence, I realize the oxymoron has little to do with reality on the ground (choose your target). All history is revisionist. All religions are whores.
What's really objectionable about sport team owners, Jewish or not, is the public subsidies their stadiums receive.
Robert Kraft is one of the less egregious offenders. Gillette stadium, home of the Patriots, was 17.7% publicly funded.

Still, why should middle-class taxpayers subsidize wealthy sports team owners at all?
Morris has an ethnic fundamentalist morality.
Right and wrong are equivalent to benefit or to detriment to the Jewish people.
It is exactly the same morality that the German Nazis used with the obvious substitution of "Jewish" for "Aryan"
Koonz provides an interesting study of the ethnic fundamentalist mentality in "The Nazi Conscience."
"Phil is seriously obsessed with die juden"
You are inventive with your names. But this would need a dative "den Juden".
What? The average western goy has a limited pocketbook, feels kin that originate and look like him, believes in honest work, so?

Tony Judt has written an article on the many problems that arise for societies that fixate on the Holocaust for The New York Review of Books:

I would include America in that category.
The cycle is interesting and tragic. Christians persecute Jews in Russia; Jewish Bolsheviks set up the Soviet Union in response and murder millions of gentiles; Hitler retaliates by murdering millions of Jews in the Holocaust; Jewish Zionists retaliate by leveraging the Holocaust into a moral pass for a Jewish Zionist network in the US, which uses its free license to make its members rich (often through greedy, semi-criminal enterprises), to grant Israel license to persecute and murder Palestinians via US government proxy, and to put America in the Iraq war which has resulted in the murder of a million Iraqis.
Wow. Who (or what) is the common denominator in all this?
Judeofascism is real, it is deadly, and it uses organized Judaism as its host. It will all end when (and only when) the Judeofascists are quarantined in Israel.
To: 'Phil is seriously obsessed with die juden'

When I was in Israel, everybody (Jewish Israelis) I met asked me at first or after a couple of sentences: "Are you Jewish" or "do you have family here" (which amounts to the same thing). They seemed to be obsessed to know whether someone is Jewish or not when talking to him. A guy from Denmark I met confirmed that to me, he said: "They first want to know whether you are Jewish or not." – BTW, it wasn't to my disadvantage when I said: "No, I'm German."
Gee, Klaus, do you really wonder why some Jews in Israel might be wondering why a German is lurking around?
RE: "BTW, it wasn't to my disadvantage when I said: "No, I'm German."
How so? Why so, do you think?
A German (me) in Israel
————————
That was in December 2002 when tourism had hit a bottom low in Israel. I went there on my own.
Why wasn't it a disadvantage that I was a German?
1. I am a friendly person.
2. The people appreciated that I had come at that time.
3. A group of young Israeli soldiers in Hebron whom I gave my passport to first talked about themselves, then one of them looked up to me and said: "Jude?". I said "no, German". They handed my passport back to me and startet talking about BMW, explained their bullet-proof vests to me and showed me the way to the grave of their forefathers.
I asked them what they were doing there and they said: "They (Palestinians) say it's their land. We say it's our land. Now we control it."
They wished me good luck and told me to get back to them in case I got in trouble.

But what irks me most is their cornering of certain businesses/industries to their near-exclusion of other ethnic groups, at least when it came to the top jobs (owners, managers, CEOs and board members, etc). In America this started with fairly inocuous industries like retail and sports, but now includes nearly all major areas including business/finance/banking, the media, law, big breweries & big tobacco, medicine (both private and public), gambling & entertainment, international shipping, and even academia! How is it possible that 40-50% of America's billionaires (and probably an even higher percentage of its millionaires) all belong to a single ethnic group which is only 2-3% of the overall population? Is all of this concentrated wealth and influence DEMOCRATIC? For those that answer YES: how can it be democratic when democracy as defined as 'majority rule' and as is the case so many of these critical industries, businesses, institutions, and/or cultural areas in America are dominated by a single ethnic minority?
"How is it possible that 40-50% of America's billionaires (and probably an even higher percentage of its millionaires) all belong to a single ethnic group which is only 2-3% of the overall population?"
Christian Zionists would say it is because the Jews are God's "chosen." Jewish Zionists would agree, but with a hat tip to the idea of racial supremacy; secular philo-Semites (both Jewish and non-Jewish) would say it is by historical fiat, and that they deserve everything they have gotten due to their "unique suffering."
I personally see a more sinister fascist collaboration, but recognize that many of them are also smart and hard working. And not all of them are evil. Mark Cuban, for example, seems like a decent guy who has used his wealth in pursuit of some altruistic endeavors. Howard Schultz, on the other hand, is a classical greedy, venal, backstabbing Judeofascist.
To determine which of them are decent and which of them are scum, ascertain their position on Israel. (Schultz, for example, was once caught at his local synagogue agitating against Jim Crow law victim Palestinians, even as he and Starbucks pursue Big-bucks around the world hawking overpriced coffee to the brown-hued by putting politically correct slogans on their coffee cups.)
For the record, I do not own a professional sports franchise, nor do I control the media or money supply. But, according to you learned folk, I am surely in cahoots with those who do.
Maybe you should ask yourselves why Gentiles are selling their sports teams, breweries, and casinos to the Jews? Perhaps they are "money-grubbing"?
Silly me. NOW I remember: It's a vast Jewish conspiracy!
Hey Phil, what do I win?
"A group of young Israeli soldiers in Hebron whom I gave my passport to first talked about themselves, then one of them looked up to me and said: 'Jude?'"
Dear, irony-free Klaus! Being confronted by soldiers in an occupied zone who scrutinize his passport and ask, "Jude?" leaves him completely untroubled.
A few decades ago, this scenario was enacted many times in Europe with the roles reversed. The point is not war guilt; it's the questionable intentions of those who use ethnicity as a screening device.
Klaus, what do your friends in Germany think about the USA generally, and especially, about the plight of the Palestinians?
What lessons have they learned from what they know of history?
How do they feel about continued reparations? It's hard to get such information from the USA.
Charles,
West Germans generally liked America because they credit it with helping rebuild the country after WW II and making German ways more easy going. They also credit America for bringing about reunification (though they have mixed feelings about the benefit of the latter).
They derided George W. Bush from the start.
They feel Israel is mistreating the Palestinians and blame mostly Israel for this conflict being in the news, something they are fed up with because it constantly reminds them that they 'should' side with Israel out of our 'lesson of history'.
As far as I know, officially Germany doesn't pay any more reparations to Israel.
These are just some brief notes to your questions. Are you writing from the US or Britain?
