Post-Zionism is so 1990s


  You can learn a lot about a nation’s health by watching how it celebrates its national holidays.

American Jew hatred on the march


The following is from Lee Whitnum, a Jew hating Democrat candidate for Joe Lieberman’s Senate seat. We should remember that in the Democrat primary in 2006, Lieberman’s rival Ned Lamont heavily employed anti-Jewish innuendos, blaming neoconservatives, (that is, Jews), for the war in Iraq.
