| Statement on H Con Res 385, Condemning the Attack on the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires , Argentine, in July 1994 | | 2008-07-15 00:00:00 | | Madam Speaker, as one who is most consistently opposed to war and violence, I join my colleagues in condemning the brutal and unjustified attack on a Jewish community center in Argentina 14 years ago. I do not support this resolution, however, as it misuses a tragedy 14 years ago in a foreign country to push for US war against Iran today.
Although this resolution clearly blames Iran and Hezbollah for the bombing, in fact the investigation is ongoing and far from conclusive. In an article titled “ U.S. uses probe to pressure Iran ,” the Wall Street Journal earlier this year suggested that renewed US interest in this 14 year old case is more related to politics than a genuine desire for justice. Reported the Journal,

| Rare Iraqi Jewish books 'surface in Israel' | | 2008-06-28 05:15:00 | | Breitbart - Some 300 rare and valuable books confiscated from Iraq's Jewish community by Saddam Hussein's regime have been secretly spirited into Israel, an Israeli newspaper reported on Friday.
The books include a 1487 commentary on the biblical Book of Job and another volume of biblical prophets printed in Venice in 1617, the Haaretz daily said.
The volumes are part of a massive collection of books confiscated by the secret police of the executed Iraqi dictator and stored in security installations in the Iraqi capital until the US-led invasion of 2003. | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| Jewish Community Cookbooks Checklist | | 2008-06-10 00:56:06 | | I had recently written a restaurant and hotel cookbooks checklist in follow-up to my post on Cookbook Collecting Specialization to give people ideas of books to collect in various categories. This post covers a list of Jewish community cookbooks. I was fortunate to find this list in the back of a cookbook referencing contributors to recipes for a Jewish cookbook. I know my mother-in-law has searched for such a list as her friend had a great community Jewish cookbook from City of Hope but she couldn't remember the name. I figured this type of list is difficult to compile so I've provided it below as a handy reference. Enjoy!If you know more books to add to the list, please use the Comments link at the bottom of the post and let me know them. I'll try to gather them and update the list.Jewish Community Cookbooks Checklist 5000 Years in the Kitchen. Sisterhood of Temple Emanuel, Dallas, Texas.Abigail Serves.

| | More Jewish residents attacked | | 2008-03-09 11:20:00 | | For the second time in the past several months, there have been a string of assaults on members of the Orthodox Jewish community in southern Oakland County, prompting residents to once again meet with city officials to formulate a plan to stop the attacks.Police said they believe teens committed the assaults, but no one has been arrested in either community. The incidents have prompted police in both cities to increase patrols in neighborhoods with heavy Orthodox populations.Southfield Police Chief Joseph Thomas said there's no indication that the assaults last week were hate crimes, but added that the violent behavior has the department concerned. | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | Can You Identify The Criminals Who Carried Out This Hate Crime in a Southern California Jewish Center? | | 2008-02-27 21:22:46 | |
I am posting this highly detailed surveillance video due to the fact that our city leaders are presently searching for the perpetrators of a crime against a Jewish center as well as a private home that is located here in the San Fernando Valley.
A $95,000.00 reward for the capture of these criminals is being offered and certainly this is an excellent way to get people involved in catching criminals on the loose.
What I want to know is how much money will it take for us to stop our irrational bigotry that seems to be flourishing instead of waning? Believe me, if I could, I'd glady pay that price today.

He's playing in the water, she is standing on the shore not wanting to get her feet wet, when all of a sudden, a huge wave appears from nowhere and crashes directly onto the spot where the boy is wading.

Haven't I been a wonderful mother? Haven't I kept a kosher home? Haven't I given to charity? Haven't I lit candles every Friday night? Haven't I tried my very best to live a life that you would be proud of?A voice booms from the sky, "All right already!"A moment later another huge wave appears out of nowhere and crashes on the beach.

However, no matter what the husband does sexually, the woman never achieves orgasm. Since a Jewish wife is entitled to sexual pleasure, they decide to ask the rabbi.

| | An Example of Jewish Fiction Writing in Antiquity | | 2008-02-04 05:01:24 | | Question: If the Gospels are literary fictions, can you give us any other examples of a fictitious narrative written by Hellenized Jews to reflect reinterpretation of scripture with Greek influence? Atheist Answer ANSWER FROM ROOK HAWKINS: Yes. There are quite a few examples I could give, but because I’m short on time because my book demands so much from me, I’ll use the most simple example with the most groupings I can list without having to go into a whole lot of details. The book of Tobit. Tobit is, for lack of a better way to put it, edifying fictions. The story uses very specific literary motifs and tropes, as well as Greek folklore (the dangerous bride, the greatful dead, etc…). Nothing in this story is meant to be taken as historical narrative. I’ll lay out some basic bullet points for you concerning Tobit and Homer. There are four main characters in both the Odyssey and Tobit (Mainly books 1-4 of the Odyssey).

"But are you happy, my son?""I'm happy," said the son."Okay, as long as you're happy.

"I, too, will soon be married, Father."Again Moishe broke out into a dance and sang God's praises. "Pray, what is her name?" he asked."Kazalopodopolous, " replied the son. "She's Greek Orthodox.""Oy!" cried Moishe. "But are you happy?""I'm very happy, Father.""Okay. Then you, too, have my blessing," Moishe declared.Dejected, Moishe went to the temple to pray.

| | Will Smith Angers Jewish Group And They Call For Boycott | | 2007-12-25 23:13:32 | | Welp, the Jews are pretty effin pissed off at Will Smith. Apparently he said something to the effect that Hitler wasn’t all that bad of a guy, and well, they took offense: Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘let me do the most evil thing I can do today’,” said Will. “I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming. I can kind of see where Will is going with that, but according to the Press the Yamaka-donning Justice League of the Jewish community are outraged and demanding that Will’s movie “I Am Legend” be pulled from theaters:The Jewish Defense League is calling on Barack Obama to repudiate Smith’s comments, and wants theaters to pull Smith’s new flick “I Am Legend” from their screens.

| | Jewish Assimilation into Greek Culture | | 2007-11-11 01:00:26 | | Jewish Assimilation into Greek Culture By Rook Hawkins Recently, I published several blogs on the mythicist position. One was in response to the recent occult-like followers of Acharya S on the radical claim of hers that both Krishna and Buddha had established some sort of influence on the development of the Jesus mythos. Why this is near impossible has already been discussed in that blog, and thee are other threads dealing with said topic in my Jesus Mythicist Campaign forum, and won’t be touched on much more in this entry. However, with the recent blog to Rick Hillegas who published in American Atheist magazine recently, I felt it necessary to explain what counts as credible acculturation and socio-cultural assimilation.read more

This program was initially open to citizens of "Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel (limited to Israeli Arab citizens), Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, West Bank/Gaza and Yemen."On the other hand:"Israeli-made bullets bought by the U.S. Army to plug a shortfall should be used for training only, not to fight Muslim guerrillas in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. lawmakers told Army generals on Thursday."(Useful Fools, via Tomorrow War.) | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | Dark side of Jewish dream | | 2007-08-26 23:27:00 | | Last month Israel's parliament overwhelmingly endorsed the first stage of a bill which would formally allow the JNF to continue its established practice of barring non-Jews from leasing land and housing held in its name - 13 per cent of the area of Israel, much of it now prime real estate. The Knesset bill has led to renewed accusations both in Israel and abroad that the JNF denies Israel's 20 per cent Arab minority access to what is in practice state land. Under the headline "A Racist Jewish State" an editorial in the center-left Israeli newspaper Haaretz wrote that "the Jewish National Fund's land policy counters the interests of the state and cannot discriminate by law against the minority living in Israel.

The Jewish community in Fez has a history of celebrating this occasion with a reception and dinner at the Maimonides Centre in Fez. The leafy patio of the club was set with tables and chairs, and an Andalous orchestra played while the Wali of Fes-Boulemane, the Mayor of Fez, the French Ambassador and various dignatories arrived. To start the proceedings, the Rabbi said a prayer in Hebrew praising His Majesty, which was followed by another in Arabic. Finally, the grandson of Dr Guigui, President of the Jewish Community, read a prayer in French.A delicious buffet was served inside the club and it was a wonderful evening.

The setting is a pine forest in the Gush Etzion bloc of Jewish settlements. "This festival gives me spiritual power," gushes Elisheva, a 16-year-old girl from Jerusalem. "There are sparks of holiness in the air." Close to her, teenagers smoking narghiles sit on carpets, swaying to the music. A curtain is supposed to separate females and males during dancing but in the darkness the religious interdicts are quickly forgotten and everyone mixes freely.

She invited me to return so she could work on my wrists and my back some more.

Paradoxically, the same day Russia's southern city of Stavropol saw a second day of ethnic clashes between members of Russian ethnicities and those of the Southern Caucasus ethnic backgrounds.In the Russian president's residence of Novo-Ogarevo, Vladimir Putin and Ben Lazar discussed the growth of ethnic and racial tensions, which have spilled out into numerous clashes between nationalistically-minded Russians and members of different ethnic backgrounds, that still constitute a large minority of Russia's population.
