Second, I do take it as a affront to the entire jewish community because it is blatantly untrue. http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/christians-in-jerusalem-want-jews-to-stop-spitting-on-them-1.137099 A few weeks ago, a senior Greek Orthodox clergyman in Israel attended a meeting at a government office in Jerusalem's Givat Shaul quarter. When he returned to his car, an elderly man wearing a skullcap came and knocked on the window. When the clergyman let the window down, the passerby spat in his face. I am surprised you did not know of this. It is very common from what I understand. One of my professors who was raised in Israel said it was a problem. Five Mossad agents in NJ and they were seen celebrating?! Seriously? How did they know they were Mossad? Why would they be celebrating in public if they just blew up 2 huge office buildings? Why would they be in NJ? Youre asking me to refute it using another article? I would be amazing if anyone spent the energy writing an article to refute it! If you think its BS then refute, don't say he should be banned! I have been insulted plenty of time before on this forum. People have taken a shot at me. No one was taking a shot at you! BTW, there were several articles saying muslims in NJ were celebrating but I don't see you coming to their aid. Whether it was meant to be insulting or not, it is. Youre right about one thing tho Silver. I shouldnt take someone elses idiocity personally. Im reminded of a quote. "Never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel". See, thats the problem. You don't want to prove him wrong, you want to silence him! A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

And if they did, yeah you should be insulted and Ill go down there with you to stop it. Second, I do take it as a affront to the entire jewish community because it is blatantly untrue. Im honestly saddened about the spitting. As a jew whos been spat on MAAAANY times, it sickens me that other jews would do the same. Especially older people who should know better. Believe me when I say, had I been there, I would have stood up for the clergyman. The banning comment was an overreaction, but thats what Playa tries to elicit in people. He doesnt care what he posts as long as its contreversial. He probably still thinks I have horns and hide them under my skullcap (like a little kid in a theme park asked his mom as I walked by). And youre right. I dont feel the need to prove someone like Playa wrong, no proof is required. And with someone like that, I doesnt matter to him whether hes right or wrong, he'll print it anyway. And thats not a good thing. I respect everyones right to free speech, but I have a right to come to my favourite website and not be subjected to his foolishness. I dont come here for that. And if your response to that will be "dont read it", Im concerned for the people who will read it and believe theres a shred of truth in anything he says. Im not going to spend my life refuting every wrong thing he says, but Id rather he find somewhere else to say it so that people who I know, like the other members of this forum dont assume what hes saying is correct and view me in a different light. Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?
