Extremist Jews in Israel Target American Girl

An 8-year-old American girl has unwittingly found herself on the front line of Israel's latest religious row. Naama Margolese is afraid of walking to her religious Jewish girls' school for fear of being harassed by ultra-Orthodox extremists. (Dec. 26)

It seems as though just about everything going on in israel right now stinks to high heaven, the rest of the world know that laws are being broken round the clock down there, human rights trampled on, and yet everyone ignores it. I wonder if people would have been so down on iraq and iran if they had as strong ties with the powers in the west?

I know at least a few israelis online who aren't happy with the situation either, so i know there's good eggs in the basket.

People telling me I'm Jewish
Cause my mother is Jewish, and I'm an Israeli
I tell them being a jew (or a christian or a muslim) is a state of mind
it is not inherited by blood
They do not understand.
GET ME OUT OF HERE
PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE

Extremist Muslims,
Extremist Jews,
Extremist Douchbag.


Keep living the propaganda. Extremism isn't the enemy. All truth is extreme - if you're not an extremist you are 100% guaranteed to be wrong.

Extremist muslims are a problem because Islam is fucking retarded, so its extremists act like fucking retards.
Extremist jews are a problem because Judaism is fucking retarded, so its extremists act like fucking retards.
Extremist rationalists are a problem because, oh wait, no we aren't.

I'm trying to teach you people to think like human beings.

*promote... It is a horrible, shameful thing to force your values on someone else.

On a side note, I am disappointed by the antisemitism going on here. You can do better. I expect as much from @gorillaman. This is the character he plays here. But come on @Fletch. “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." You might hate the christians, but Jesus had a point on that one.

Silly hats. Silly coats. Silly hair. Silly religion.

@MycroftHomlz

I am disappointed that some people can so readily decry just about anything as antisemitism. "Silly" was the harshest word I used, and I think most things about any religion are just that. I didn't even mention that I think they are self-righteous, arrogant, delusional, hate-filled, racist, sexually-repressed misogynists.

I'm an anti-theist, not an antisemite. Big difference. Also, human beings invented the Golden Rule centuries (millenia?) before they invented Jesus, and Confucius wrote it down long before Matthew did.

Their behaviour toward this little girl is despicable, and... they kinda remind me of the black "Spy vs Spy" guy, and he was definitely Jewish!

I've gone and looked it up for you. May this knowledge serve you well in future endeavors.

From Wiki:

Anti-semitism is suspicion of, hatred toward, or discrimination against Jews for reasons connected to their Jewish heritage. According to a 2005 U.S. governmental report, antisemitism is "hatred toward Jews—individually and as a group—that can be attributed to the Jewish religion and/or ethnicity." In an extreme form, it "attributes to the Jews an exceptional position among all other civilizations, defames them as an inferior group and denies their being part of the nation[s]" in which they reside.....

>> ^gorillaman:

Several people in this thread need to look up the word antisemitism, because they're not using it correctly.

@dag, this is directly from the FAQ.

What can't I say in a comment?

We love a good fiery comment thread, but sometimes they go overboard. Please avoid personal attacks. It's okay to criticize ideas but refrain personal insults. Please avoid blatantly racist speech, threats, or other verbal abuse. This goes for comments in public arenas as well as private member profile comments. If a comment is bad enough it will probably be deleted due to negative feedback. If these types of comments are regular occurrences, we will probably ask you to leave the community or simply ban you outright."


It is hypocritical to ban @CaptainPlanet420 for repeated hate speech towards homosexual and transgendered people and give gorillaman a pass for all the crap he says, which after looking at his comments is also homophobic, antisemetic, racist garbage that he should be ashamed of. So, it is time to ban @dag, not warn. If you want, I can go through all his comments and find enough examples to make your head spin.

This kind of garbage is not tolerated on NeoGAF and it shouldn't fly here either.

MycroftHomlzsays...

I would but people threw a fit when I hobbled @quantumushroom, so now I just ask @dag to do it and avoid the controversy altogether.

May I suggest using your nightstick, officer?

>> ^MycroftHomlz:
Good point. @dag. I suggest a ban.
>> ^Boise_Lib:

So, what -does- it take to get banned from Video sift? Clearly outright hate speech doesn't.

Agreed! Down-right, open, hateful antisemitism.

@dag... If you think this is an acceptable thing to say insert a different group...

"So stop pretending <insert group> are human beings."
gays, blacks, Latinos, Australians, Asians, Indians, Jews, Christians, Muslims....

I think it is pretty obvious this is over the line, which he has crossed numerous times.

dagsays...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

He's been given an official warning. Instead of continuing to drag this out and draw attention to it, why don't you move on and let the wheels of community justice take their course.

I'm not biting on your ridiculous straw man argument either. I don't in fact think this is an acceptable thing to say, but you've succeeded in pissing me off for making such an unsophisticated, pitch-fork wielding attempt at manipulation. Please lurk a little more. >> ^MycroftHomlz:
