1. He must have been really hungry

[FadedMullet]

2. Oh, your comment is going raise a few hackles, even without a halal/kosher reference.

5. Joking about antisemitic attacks is OK now

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Especially

In the Jewish Group.

[FadedMullet]

13. Jeez, it is, isn't it? I often post without looking where the OP came from and occasionally and inadvertantly.....

......push some buttons.

14. I'll leave this up to

The group hosts. Let the chips fall where they may.

Statement of Purpose
Discuss Judaism's beliefs, share faith experiences, discuss anti-Semitism, post prayer requests, discuss Jewish faith, traditions, religious heroes, holidays, etc.

16. "Jeez, I always skip over the first two words in the OP headline".

[JustAnotherGen]

18. It is blatant

The Jewish Group is like the African American group. Yeah there's a lot of weight on our shoulders in America - but we also can celebrate and have joy.

These *jokes* aren't funny.

19. "Jeez, I have nothing to do. Think I'll go push some buttons in an alliance forum."

[Oopsie Daisy]

21. ... then pretend not to notice when the obvious is pointed out.

It's totally plausible, eh? What could possibly go wrong?

[lapucelle]

15. The first two words in the OP headline are "Jewish Group".

6. This was an antisemitic attack in which a man was disfigured.

I fail to find how it is funny or how it warrants a joke.

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP. This is a place where Jew hatred and antisemitism is treated as a serious matter.

8. Thank-you

[JustAnotherGen]

11. Thank you

[Beastly Boy]

7. Out of the question. He identified himself as Hamas.

[Thinker Cats]

10. Took me a REALLY REALLY long time to get the joke

[mcar]

20. Shame on you

Mr. Ben Sho-shan was also arrested - supposedly for saying racist words.

An hour after the initial incident, Ben-Shoshan claimed that the man returned and tried to assault his wife, which is when he stepped in to protect her.

My husband is white, I'm Black. If someone attacked me being racist - they'd probably get a lot of racial epithets and fists thrown at them by my husband. He can be vicious when he thinks Im being disrespected or threatened.

So am I to understand that Jewish men are not allowed to go balls to the walls to protect their wives?

4. I don't know if he was hungry

or not, but I'm thinking he probably got the idea watching the Tyson, Holyfield fight

9. This is the Jewish group, and making fun of an antisemitic attack has no

business here

[lapucelle]

17. Imagine joking about a violent anti-Semitic attack in a support forum for Jews...

Never again has officially arrived.
