Well . . . technically that's progress.
Papers detail popular and unpopular beliefs and opinions. Some of which are quite tasteful while others deserve no more light of day than the amount necessary to toss it in the garbage.
Hopefully, the response from the Jewish (and nonJewish) press is to publish even MORE points of view.
Don't you get it? The idea of posting cartoons about the Holocaust - the so-called myth as they call is - is nothing new in the Islamic world; they have been doing it for years. Why haven't we heard about any Jewish riots you say? Well, do I really have to tell you why?
Clearly, this is the same ongoing "blame the Jew" symptom. Such a childish response, but not surprsing if you look at history.
Well, I must admit. I don't get it. Last time I checked Jews don't riot very often for several reasons:
1) Uh, most large collections of Jews are in Israel or a NYC kosher deli. The latter usually complain about the gefilte broth but that's not a rioting offense.
2) Most of the published press worthy of reading are so afraid of the anti-semite slur that they wouldn't dare publish anything too overtly "Jewish."
3) Jews work so only Sabbath would be available . . . and the mother-in-law has already claimed it.
4) Should I go on . . .
Who cares if random Iranians, Muslims, or Arabs "blame the Jews?" If you think it's so childish . . . why play along by noticing so hard? Considering how this thing started . . . a publication in September 2005 . . . I would treat them like any other tantrum child; no dessert, banishment to time-out, and no attention.
