Why are people so paranoid about Jews?

That NYT articles is incredibly one-sided and fails to tell half the story.
Anybody sticking to party lines at this stage in the game is nothing more than a tired hack.

V, I'm unsure of how familiar you are with holocaust literature but you might want to check out Finkelstein's Holocaust Industry. Kinda an awesome book criticizing Elie Wiesel.

Israel lobbying is fucking ridiculous. I emphasize how the Palestinians are getting fucked rather than the Jews being power-mongering blood drinkers like some.

I'm a little familiar with it, haven't actually read it, though.

Finkelstein never asserted that once in either the documentary about him or his book.

Asserted what? The second paragraph was my thoughts. The Holocaust Industry is about how Holocaust literature is all pretty much a bunch of fraudulent accounts in order to make money.

Any person who reads The Holocaust Industry should be entitled to feeling a whiff anti-semitic afterwards.

.WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's healthcare law suffered a setback Friday when a U.S. appeals court ruled that it was unconstitutional to require all Americans to buy insurance or face a penalty.

The legality of the individual mandate, a cornerstone of the healthcare law, is widely expected to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Opponents have argued that without the mandate, which goes into effect in 2014, the entire law falls.

What do you think about that? For or against? How about universal healthcare?

:lol: at the hacks at Fox and their neocon obsession with the Iran / Israel parlor game.
Paul handled it about right, though.
