the problem with some people is they read things they do not understand or invent things in order to promote an agenda. in the case of ayn rand there's not one single shred of proof that she ever met, let alone slept with, philip rothschild. to me, the worst thing about these fearoists isn't their insecurities and bedtime stories. it's their deep and ever lasting ignorance. it's quite clear these people have either never read ayn rand's works or they haven't understood her philosophy.
LILLYLADY: Shame on you for your dispicable hatred of Jews. And perhaps it goes beyond just Jews. You are quite well trained in hate and throw out hatred so rampantly free. I guess if you want to call yourself a goyim, then the shoe must fit for you to name yourself like that.
Hatred IS as hatred DOES.
For all your talk about how much others hate the Jews, It is the Jews of Israel who have invaded, occupied, and oppressed other peoples for generations and shown no degree of humanity whatsoever.
Don't be surprised if world opinion shifts against the oppressors. It always does.
Especially when the strategic interests of the west no longer have any need of Israel as a regional power.
If Jews want world sympathy, they should abandon the "holy holocaust" appeal and join the human race.
mnowsa: While there are many decent jewis people, i think those two gentlemen are trying to infer to "zionism" instead of blaming jews people in general.
Wow, it's like Drew Carey went buck crazy and started writing Da Vinci Code stuff. I think Jewish people rule. For one thing, you hardly ever see any of them saying stuff like this guy is coming out with!
scon1916: Did anybody see Jimmy Carter víiting Gaza today on the news?
I did.
I was surprised at how old he looks now. Time marches on.
Carter correctly exposed Netanyahu's ridiculous offer for a 2 state solution in which Israel would control the borders, the air space, all imports and exports, all entry and exit etc etc etc.

Carter called it an "apartheid solution".
Jimmy Carter admitted he had 'long time friends within Hamas' a few months ago. So maybe Jimmy C is bias in his assessment of the Israeli offer? Or maybe he just likes to see the middle east in constant crisis.......another problem for the Obama Administration to solve.
Da10th: Every little thing in this world seems to be a part of some conspiracy to you. How exactly do you find the time to find enjoyment in life when you are constantly feeling as if the government is doing everything it can do to control you?
Ahhhh you've hit on a key point there.
Look around you 911, the Patriot Act, the Homeland Security Act, The Military Tribunals Act, and a lot of other recent legislation are quickly eroding your rights and liberties.
Nobody disputes the fact that conspiracies play a big part in bringing about such changes. The only question is who the conspirators are and what form the conspiracy takes.
For some, the conspiracy involves a lot of crazed middle eastern madmen meeting in a cave somewhere plotting to create havoc in the west just for the sheer meanness of it.
For others, the conspiracy involves powerful financiers, bankers, and leaders of business and industry, who simply use lesser players such as political puppets, insurgent boogymen puppets, media puppets, religious puppets etc etc (on both sides of the fabricated conflict) in order to create very real violence and chaos and to "justify" invasions, wars, massacres, occupations.............etc.
But now to the important question. How to enjoy life in the midst of all that?
Certainly you will admit that it doesn't matter which conspiracy one believes in, life has to go on despite the conspiracy.
My way of forgetting the madness is just to realize that it IS madness and not let myself get drawn into politics or activism or supporting anybody.
ALL politicians are liars. Be they Democrat or Republican or whatever.
All news agencies distribute disinformation. No matter what network they come from.
So I just reject it ALL and laugh at it and live around it.
My only "activism" is to poke holes in the lies so that other people can get out of the Matrix and live free too.
Ray, Let's play "expose your dark secrets" and have you go into a synagogue, look the congregants straight in the eye with brotherly love and genuine warmth and compassion and sit through a prayer service. Nah, know you couldn't bring yourself to even do something like that. That's the terms.... or drop the confusion on your part. You carry around more darker secrets than any Talmud you purport to expose. So you obviously have some purpose in mind for attacking reform Jews as you state "and for good reason." A Jew hater is a Jew hater and that doesn't change no matter how you try to sugarcoat it or change your wording either or play with your words. You don't fool me one bit.
Why Jimmy Carter Really is an Anti-Semite By Dr. Richard Benkin Canada Free Press - Monday, June 15, 2009
For years, many people have accused former US President of being an anti-Semite, but Carter and his minions have insisted that such accusations amount to calumny and that he is simply a moral man who speaks for the oppressed Palestinians. This week, however, he finally slipped up and let his anti-Semitic slip show.
A day after Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s June 14 speech on the Middle East conflict, Carter told the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the Israeli Knesset (or Parliament), “In my opinion, Netanyahu brought up several obstacles to peace in his speech that others before him have not placed. He insists on settlement expansion and demands that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state, even though 20% of Israel’s citizens are not Jewish.”
"Israel’s right to exist is an obstacle to peace"
So, in Jimmy Carter’s world, Israel’s daring to insist that it be recognized as the Jewish homeland—only the very reason why it exists and the historical basis for it—cannot be allowed. It is the obstacle to peace, not the Arabs’ refusal to accept it.
Carter’s rationale for thinking that, however, is really the smoking gun of his anti-Semitism; specifically, that Jews make up less than 100 percent of Israel’s population. Funny, though, he applies this argument to the world’s only Jewish state, and never has done the same to any other country. Mr. Carter seems to consider himself rather knowledgeable in world affairs. If he is, then his omission is one based on bias rather than ignorance. There are 27 countries where Islam is the official state religion, including Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, which border Israel. The 24 others are: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, Comoros, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Somalia, Somaliland, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Several of them, such as Bangladesh, have sizeable non-Muslim minorities; and many with almost none, such as Pakistan, destroyed its non-Muslim minority even while Carter was its ally!
To be comprehensive, 12 countries (plus England, Scotland, and 17 Swiss Cantons) recognize Christianity as their state religion, and Buddhism is the official state religion in three. Carter has never made a peep about any of the 42 countries with an official state religion. He certainly never complained to his Saudi allies or the Jordanians because they prohibit Jews from residing in their countries.
Yet, Carter has seen fit to call Israel’s desire to be recognized as the historical Jewish homeland it is as “an obstacle to peace.” This despite the fact Israel allows free practice of all religions, unlike most of the 27 Islamic nations including Saudi Arabia which makes any religious expression other than Islam a crime.
Doubtless, the man from Plains will protest that he is being attacked for criticizing Israel (another favorite cry of anti-Semites). Before he does, however, he might consider that the only way he will have any credibility is to simultaneously call Saudi Arabia’s and the other 26 countries to drop Islam as their official religion. Let’s not hold our breath, for neither Carter nor any of the other world leaders who call a Jewish State an obstacle to peace ever thought to treat Judaism and Islam equally.
ttom500: Gee, in your other post earlier today in a different thread....it was the US of A that was the cause of every war in modern time. Now it is the jews that are the most hated people on Earth.
In the first post....you said that the US had apologized for Iraq...in the President Obama mea culpa tour. Now you got old poor Mel Gibson implicated as being a hater of jews.
I think it best when one has their own opinion....
Isn't it so, they are really hated all over the world and mostly because of simple envy of their haters. There were two opposing and equal in power countries in recent past and only one left, which keeps its military activity in the world, and this country is your, wonder, how long you will ignoring history, the reasons of US wars, not all of course, were insignificant, but never fprget USA is the only country that earns on wars and that is why it is interested in them.
As to Gibson, it was in all press, when he was caught drunk driving a car, and while his explanation of his condition to a policeman he mentioned that jews were the cause of all wars on the Earth, then he had to make public apology. But was he frank saying all those words in his drunkness...
