Some days I wake up and realize: We are about to win. Jewishness is about to stop being selfish. Suddenly all the parochial voices are going to feel very ancient and young people will reject their counsel. This attack by righteous Jews on the neocon propaganda, "Obsession," goes on for 12 pages. Oh my god. Rabbi Beliak, you got me at hello:
The frankly anti-Islamic message of Obsession is most apparent
when the viewer is being warned about the "danger at home." … To
understand why this is dangerous, one need only remember the situation,
during World War II, of Japanese Americans and the stigma faced earlier
in the 20th century by non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants, including Jews. Anyone needing reassurance after viewing Obsession
might find it in remembering the degree to which all of those groups
have, after all the fuss, helped to shape and become shaped by the
culture of our country.

On to the Occupied Territories! (Thanks to Jeet Heer, who is good on Mitch McConnell today.)
Imagine if David Duke sent out an unsolicited CD in the mail. Or even Rev Wright.
Why is only one type of ideologues allowed to do this without any
major press coverage?
"We are about to win. Jewishness is about to stop being selfish."
I hate to be a sourpuss, but what about the record of the past 3000 years?
This battle isn't going to suddenly end on Tuesday.
"Jewishness is about to stop being selfish."
HA! You HAVE obviously been deeply infected by the Obama delusion…
As if Jewishness could EVER stop being selfish – like THAT will ever happen!
You are a real funny guy, Phil.
