Phil didn't say that religious crazies should be disenfranchised. He said that the rest of us should wake up and marginalize them.

He doesn't believe in God, He doesn't observe any Jewish practices or anything about the religion. And he is an advocate of the destruction of Israel.

So what qualifies him to write anything from a Jewish perspective otherthan some sick accident of birth. </p> So Colin, tell me again how Phil Weiss qualifies has Jewish.

You can't do it can you. The only thing is an accident of birth, that;s it. Your talking about a guy who hates being Jewish, can't stand other jews. And wants the jewish state eradicated. That makes him more of a Duke, Farrakhan, or Nasralllah. Not a Jew. </p> Tell me how Phil Weiss is Jewish, Give me something. You can't do it can you.

Exactly, Colin–good catch. Need to quickly catch all these hasbara dissemblers. They need to be marginalized like David Duke or Martillo are. David Duke is only interested in his own group, same
as the Israel Firsters. Martillo is marginalized only because the Israel First 5th column has control over
the US government and MSM. Martillo is a USA citizen first, and a humanist, thus representing the highest
values of the USA proposition nation's premise that all humans are born free, and equal, and entitle to
all opportunity to live without having to put up it with intolerance based on institutionalized intolerance
and discrimination.
