On purity of English

[absztyfikant]

Israeli sense of humour)))

There may be those among you who support including Spanish in our national
language. I for one am 110% against this! We must preserve the exclusivity
and, above all, the purity of the English language.

To all the shlemiels, shlemazels, nebbishes, nudniks, klutzes, putzes,
shlubs, shmoes, shmucks, nogoodniks, and momzers that are out there pushing
Spanish, I just want to say that I, for one, believe that English and only
English deserves linguistic prominence in our American culture.

To tell the truth, it takes me so farklempt, I'm fit to plotz. This whole
Spanish schmeer gets me broyges, specially when I hear these erstwhile
mavens and luftmenschen kvetching about needing to learn Spanish. What
chutzpah!

These shmegeges can tout their shlock about the cultural and linguistic
diversity of our country, but I, for one, am not buying their shtick. It's
all so much dreck, as far as I'm concerned. I exhort you all to be menshen
about this and stand up to their fardrayte arguments and meshugganah,
farshtunkene assertions. It wouldn't be kosher to do anything else.

Remember, when all is said and done, we have English and they've got bubkes!
The whole myseh is a pain in my tuchas!

Rabbi sparks debate: Who is a Jew?

He only said conversion is an abuse of the immigration process and should be
disregarded as grounds for the "right of return". He didn't talk generally
about identity.
Methinks complexes about identity are at work ...

I don't think this rabbi is doing Israel or the Jewsih people any favours. So
what if dummy conversion to Jewry has helped many people get out of where tey
were and into a better life? At least they're not Moslems. Are they likely to
be friends or enemies of Israel?

What would Maimonides have said about this issue? What would Solomon have said?
I cannot think that these wise men would have taken this line. Even Jacob was
all in favour of keeping friends about him, and rebuked his sons' actions in
the wake of the seduction/rape of Dinah.

This guy wants to ethnically cleanse the Hashivah. He probably would have
denied Ruth her gleanings from the field, had he been around in Boaz' time.
