Mikey Weinstein, who has sued the Air Force over allegations that Air Force Academy cadets were unconstitutionally subjected to Christian evangelization, has complained about the 523rd’s unit emblem, which features a cross, a sword and an armored helmet.
“The airmen of 523rd Fighter Squadron ... not only have invoked the term ‘Crusaders’ to describe their unit, they use blatantly sectarian religious symbolism on the patches they affix to their uniforms and the official logo of their unit,” Weinstein wrote in an article for the Sept. 4 issues of the Air Force Times, Army Times and Navy Times.
It shouldn't take a young, Jewish Air Force Academy Graduate to point out how utterly stupid this is.
Weinstein ...said it is a “sick irony” that Air Force personnel can wear religious emblems when the United States is fighting fundamentalist Islamics who “exploit religion as a means to cause mass devastation and death.”

More violence against Jews from the UK - Screams ignored as girl, 12, is attacked
A 12-year-old Jewish girl who was beaten unconscious and robbed by anti-Semitic yobs on a bus has spoken out at her disgust that no-one came to her aid.
The girl, who does not want to be identified, was stamped on several times in a racist attack lasting around five minutes while on board a 303 Metroline bus in Mill Hill, north London.

Looks like I'm not the only one that actually decided to actually read the Pentagon's latest report on Iraq and come to a different conclusion than the mainstream media.

The 10th Annual Dallas Jewish Film Festival starts this week. I'm too lazy to post links to the individual movies, although I must admit it doesn't seem like a strong a crop as prior years have been. I am glad though that they have moved one of the host theaters to Plano just a few minute drive from my house.
