And people think it's ok that the Jews run our Government


Your last comment reflects poorly on your education and life experiences. Catholics and Protestants hold the vast majority of government positions. My question to you is why do you feel the way you do? What have jews done or what were you taught that have created these sentiments.

Whether you realize it or not, your comments are anti semitic and ignorant.

I welcome your response.

I would bet you do know some and are just unaware. When I was almost 40, I took a job working for one. He was the stereotype and butt of every Jewish joke I ever heard. This led me to think back through my history. I knew a bunch in high school and at LSU, but never thought about them being Jewish. They never mentioned it and nobody cared anyway.

due to Jews not being able to do certain things like own store-fronts on corners


What the heck, where did that come from? Jews can own corner stores, and even prefer in many cases. Ever heard of Katz and Besthoff?

The recent revival of anti semitism is alarming.

It's not recent, it's never gone away. shite, I had a realtor in the burbs of Houston talk to me about selling my house (2010,) that said, "price it a little higher, you know some people are going to try to Jew you down."

If only she'd known she should have used a Hindi reference, she would have been accurate.

Ive known plenty. Many are regular Americans. You probably never knew who they are when you came across them. Ive known blonde blue eyed Jewish folks.

Years ago I worked with a Jewish guy, and to me the second I saw him and heard his name I just knew. No biggie, but been around enough of them to know out of the gate. I was talking to a country bumpkin chick who worked there, and he came up and I said "cause he's Jewish." I think it was me questioning if he ate pork. And she said " he ain't Jewish". And I just chuckled, cause not surprising she didn't "just can tell". And for the record I know plenty of Jewish dudes who love pork.

they are annoyingly awful about it.

I was at a store a while back that was dealing with a group of them, and they asked for free crap every other minute. The sales rep was nicely telling them to frick off with his "no". Essentially it got down to a take it or leave it convo, as the rep just wanted to move along.

Jews will bargain, but not going to be that annoying about it. Ask once or twice, but understand each side needs a good deal. Indians want it only one way. Wish they would all go away and back.

I was a groomsman in a Jewish wedding and I have never lived outside of Alabama. His family is the only Jewish family I know though.

I know one very well. Have worked around him for over 10 years. Liberal to his core but loves him some capitalistic personal wealth. Voted for Obama, Biden and Kamala. Insecure Narcissist. Can turn any and every conversation to about him. Weirdest thing is he is a retired Special Forces officer, graduate of NYC, and his father was a NASA scientist.

I know several Jews in my lifetime and they are all wonderful people who love our country. I just don't understand why I'm supposed to hate these people because Dave fricking Smith told me to

The just retired multiple times re elected former Mayor of Saraland. Alabama? Dr. Howard Rubenstein.

Just had a street named after him. LINK

quote:

Saraland Mayor Dr. Howard Rubenstein has chosen not to seek re-election this August after 24 years in office as the longest-serving mayor in the city’s history.

Rubenstein, a Chicago native who moved to Pensacola for his residency training in the early 1980s and eventually settled in Saraland, was first elected to the city council in 1996 and re-elected in 2000, 2004, and 2008, becoming the first council president along the way.

Yes you do. You know tons of them. You’re just not aware they’re Jewish.

For context: mid 50’s and have always lived in Alabama. I know this is not a hotbed for Jews, but is it unusual that I’ve never known ANY?


I know several and I’m a very-practicing Catholic. They’re great people and I’d rank them ahead of many, many “Christians” I know, as far as being decent human beings.
