Are you this kind of Jew?

"To the Jews who, in the sixties, envied the Black Power Movement; who in the nineties, envied the Palestinians who weep at Exodus but jeer at the Israel Defense Forces; who nod when Tevye praises tradition but fidget through the seder; who might take your curiosity to a dogfight, to a bordello or an opium den, but find ludicrous the notion of a visit to the synagogue; whose favorite Jew is Anne Frank and whose second-favorite does not exist; who are humble in their desire to learn about Kwanzaa and proud of their ignorance of Tu Bishvat; who dread endogamy more than incest; who bow their head reverently at a baptism and have never attended a bris - to you, who find your religion and race repulsive, your ignorance of your history a satisfaction, here is a book from your brother."

If so, playwright David Mamet (your brother) has a book you should read - The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, Self-Hatred and the Jews

I didn't post about this a few nights ago because I was exhausted.  Leftist/Muslim protestors rallied in front of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires to defend Iran.  Now of course I can't find the pictures of the rally complete with faces hidden behind scarves, Hizbollah flags proudly waving and wooden poles beating against the embassy fence.  Disgusting.

This however is the larger story in Argentina....

Argentine President Nestor Kirchner yesterday fired Luis D'Elia, head of the sub-secretariat of Land and Habitat, for backing Iranian statements that the judge's decision was unwarranted. D'Elia said his dismissal came as the result of pressure from Israel and the U.S., La Nacion reported.

Who knew?  Paula Abdul revealed that she is Jewish and now she's dying to go to Israel.
