  1. Death to America from Joe’s new voting bloc.

    To preserve democracy of course

  2. “a means of ratcheting up pressure on Israel to tamp down violence by settlers in the West Bank”
    Guess I’ve been living under a rock. I didn’t know there was a problem with violence by settlers. I guess you do learn something everyday.

  3. I will derail the topic — clouds broke just in time here in Austin to see totality of the eclipse. I can’t explain how emotional I still am after seeing that.

    Back on topic — I’m in the part of Austin with a large Jewish population. The H-E-B (best supermarket in the world) is the only one in the state I believe with a dedicated Kosher section. I’ll head there in a couple of days and report if I see any of those stupid stickers.

  4. I’ll keep an eye on my local grocery stores, although I don’t shop in the area where there is significant pro-Hamas agitation.

  5. Maybe it was a mistake to allow large numbers of Muslims to settle here, no?

  6. Security cameras should be able to catch people who apply the stickers. This is not protected speech, it’s vandalism on private property.

  7. From the article linked to: “Since the IDF force arrived after the incident began, it was classified as an act of “Jewish nationalist violence,” rather than a terrorist attack. This misclassification is so routine that even the United Nations acknowledges it is standard practice.” Yet another demonstration of the bitter truth that the anti-Semites hate it when Jews fight back.

  8. so would this be halal or haram, rhetorical

    i’m sure its mostly peaceful,

    in lawrence of arabia, alec guinesses sharif was still pining for the gardens of Cordoba,
    that had ended some 400 years ago, we were reminded of this, with the Cordoba initiative by the Imam Rauf which wanted to build a mosque on the ruins of the Towers, a sign of a conquered people,

  9. No you don’t want lot of Muslims. I’ll throw down with anyone. But om old enough to know I can be overwhelmed

  10. At 61 I won’t retreat I’m the face of three men. And I know s fighting retreat. Kabul wasn’t it

  11. How helpful of them to highlight products that I might want to show my support for!

    (note – I don’t celebrate passover as I’m not Jewish)

  12. One thing I note vis Avis South Africa and Rhodesia and the Apartheid accusation towards Israel is that these scum favor something that is even worse. I am not one to paint too rosy a picture on Mr. Malan or Mr. Smith, but Apartheid – Apartness- at least acknowledged and planned for the continued existence of different people it would need to keep “Apart.”

    Gaza does not even qualify as Apartheid because Hamas does not tolerate the concept of Jewish or Christian existence. It seeks annihilation.

  13. yes its tantamount to a blood libel, Gaza exists because the neighboring Arab states will not integrate their Bedu brethren, supposedly, because they have this annoying habit of smashing the crockery in their desire to take over,

    there was a similar pattern with Robert Williams who emigrated to the other side in the 1950s, he was noted in the Robert Moss tale, Monimbo, as an inspiration, for the sabotage operation described therein, I was struck 30 years later, as leading gun rights activists, saw him as a pioneer, perhaps a precursor to the Panthers, that wasn’t his purpose it was violent revolution against this country, perhaps toward the bloody denoument we see today, some of the Panthers would retreat to North Africa some to the Caribbean satrap

  14. If I should see Israeli food defaced with such sticker, I will buy them, even if I do not normally nor eat them. I am so very tired of this —–

  15. Some of that commercial gefilte fish (of the sweetish variety) really should have had a warning sticker put on it long time ago…
    …something like “Eat at yer own risk” or “Must be eaten with scads of horseradish” or “Do yourself a favor and buy the non-sweet version”…

  16. I-l like Israeli hummus. I like it more knowing the world hates Israel

  17. I know the Arabs invented the Palestinians because 33 Arab nations fighting liit le Israel was losing the PR war

  18. Barry Meislin, your comment about sweet gefilte fish (sounds awful) led me to the Wikipedia article on gefilte fish. The addition of sugar is blamed on Jews in southern Poland. Also, I learned that catfish is not kosher, because it does not have both fins and scales.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gefilte_fish

  19. Well, it HAS INDEED led to the gefilte fish wars (a sub-variant, it would seem, of the Jewish Wars, though I don’t think Josephus Flavius had much to say on that particular topic).
    Then there are those who won’t touch the stuff, period.

    FWIW…before anyone gets their respective backs up, dogfish is also not considered kosher…(which might just bring up the great swordfish controversy, the point being if you can have an argument about something, then why not?…And then there’s sturgeon…)

  20. Goodness, Barry. As my husband has never brought home a dogfish or a swordfish or a sturgeon, the question of fins and scales has not arisen here. He brings crappie. Is deer meat kosher? That he does bring. He catches and releases catfish, because we don’t care for it and it’s a pain (literally) to handle. And a couple of times he’s caught a long-nosed gar. Whether than can be eaten by non-Jews is never in question; bringing that thing with all those teeth into a one-man canoe is unthinkable. He cuts the line.

    Gefilte fish sounds somewhat like the non-shellfish central European version of crab cakes, which are popular around here. Maybe sometime I’ll try it, but the Wiki description says it’s “an acquired taste.”

  21. Davie crockett would be considered an unruly settler always agitating santa ana for instance same for sam houston

  22. Kind of slippery, it’s true, and not the handsome-ist of fish going, but I’ve heard it said that catfish are great eating, though I’ve heard also that the meat is not all that firm—if one tends towards the firm-fish-flesh end of the spectrum…
    (And I suppose it may depend on how people feel about facial hair on their seafood…)

    Deer (and family—elk, bison, reindeer, moose, etc.), being an ungulate (if I got that right) with split hooves is indeed a kosher animal. However, for those who truly care about the issue, it must be slaughtered in the kosher manner for it to be acceptable, making it a bit trickier—bambi being bambi—to find. One advantage of this method, of course, is that you don’t have to filter out any stray buckshot, though the up side of that, so I’ve heard, is that it forces one to chew carefully (as my father would have phrased it). So as far as I know it’s possible but not too common. OTOH, there IS buffalo meat—the new Kosher Eating rage or, make that “passion”. No, I’ve never eaten it, but it is available—at a price—and I wouldn’t mind tasting it. Of course if one has read John Williams’s “Butcher’s Crossing” (a marvelous, astonishing, if troubling, novel) one might have second thoughts… (Should we pause to mention those who for some reason MUST take selfies with a buffalo…?)

    I thought that Gar were mostly a game fish, though I guess they might be tasty if one dares give it a try.
    Gefilte fish just means “filled” (or stuffed) fish. Some dispense with filling the fish cavity with the ground fish mixture and just make patties (or fish cakes), cooking them up in a rich broth made with various flavorings—onion, carrot, salt, pepper, crushed saltines or bread crumbs, etc., maybe a pinch of sugar—but no more that that!!! Any fish can be used, but it’s traditional to use carp, a rather ungainly, boney bottom feeder (unlike its more elegant Koi cousins) though there are those who refuse to use it—kind of like a “standards” issue.
    As for being an acquired taste, it’s true…and like most “acquired” tastes it helps if you grow up with it….

  23. Keeping in mind that Saddam Hussein was another “winner”….
    (Just ask ‘im…)

  24. On Monday, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller made clear that the Biden administration is ruling out an Israeli invasion of Rafah under any circumstances, raising doubts whether the U.S. still supports Hamas’ removal from power. “We have made clear to Israel that we think a full-scale military invasion of Rafah would have an enormously harmful effect on the civilians and then it would ultimately hurt Israel security. So it’s not just a question of Israel presenting a plan to us,” Miller said.

  25. Fascinating, Barry Meislin, and thanks. The deer my husband got was not kosher because he shot it. It was a good shot, and the deer dropped immediately, so as far as that goes, it was humane to the animal. I’ve had bison burgers and can buy it in my local market. I don’t think it’s labeled kosher, but I’ll look.

  26. These Jew haters are the worst.

    I know if they blocked my path to the airport, I’d get out of my car and beat them with golf clubs.

    And when the pro Hamas crowd disrupted the Omaha St. Patrick’s Day parade, I was screaming at them at the top of my lungs.

  27. I can confide I’m you. But note mllllllllllllll May first when I can offer you something

  28. I thought you might be available if l you aren’t please accept my vere lllllll sincere apologies

  29. Yes I’m vulnerable. I’m strong enough to admit that. I’ll throw down with anyone throw lllllllllllllthow if someone thinks I’m weak
