4/1     How come Palestinians want luxury homes demolished? Do they have
        plans to build grass huts on the same land?
        http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4401921.stm
        \_ I don't know, this sounds right in line with their usual
           antics.  They're more interested in hurting the Isrealis in
           any petty way possible (including a measly $20 mil demolition
           fee) than they are in helping their own people.
        \_ What a scam. The settlers got paid money to move to Gaza, free
           luxury homes paid for by US tax dollars, and now they are getting
           paid 1/4M (or is it 1/2M now) to move.

12/4    Just saw a normal dating ad, except, it's JDATE. The people on the
        commercial don't even look Jew. Are they opening up the doors?
        \_ is she hot?
        \_ I dated a blonde Jewish girl from Wisconsin. She didn't look
           Jewish either.

9/18    Why are so many ACCOUNTANTS Jewish? Not a troll, just curious.
        Gil. Goldberg. Levy. etc...
        \_ Perhaps b/c historically Jews (unlike Christians) were allowed
           to charge interest on loans (usury).
           \_ ok, fine. What about lawyers? I don't get that one.

6/6     It is impossible not to be reminded of the classic Jewish joke
        about the Jewish mother in Russia taking leave of her son, who
        has been called up to serve the Czar in the war against Turkey.
        "Don't overexert yourself'" she implores him, "Kill a Turk and
        rest. Kill another Turk and rest again…"
        "But mother," the son interrupts, "What if the Turk kills me?"

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

10/9    Will Glen Beck's head explode?
        \_ Oh, I'm sure he'll rant and rave.  What else is new?
           Of course, giving Obama the peace prize is dumb, but it's a step
           up from Al Gore.  At least a dozen steps up from Arafat.
           \_ Kissinger beats them all.
              \_ Kissinger stunk, but worse than Arafat?  I dunno. That's close.

9/29    Can someone tell my why half of the Family Guy theme
        is about 1) Jewish 2) Nazi 3) gay people 4) combination
        of the above? The Weinstein episode, Ann Franke,
        Peter as the brother of Adolf, the constant guy-to-guy
        kissing and gay references... the list goes on and
        on and on. WHY??? Does MacFarlan have a fascination

9/14    Does anyone have the controversial book Bell Curve? I know
        it has the political incorrect [and perhaps flawed] data that
        shows certain race have higher IQ than other race and I'm
        wondering how smart Russians are relative to white Americans
        and East Orientals. I can't seem to Google for this information.
        The only thing I got is the following:

Printable version Israel to leave Gaza homes intact Settler with child Heavily armed settlers have vowed to resist any expulsion attempt Israel will not demolish homes vacated by Jewish settlers when it withdra ws from the Gaza Strip this summer, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said . The statement appears to reflect a signficant change of policy on Mr Shar on's part. Some voices on both sides have called for a total demolition of settlemen ts. Israeli security chiefs have meanwhile met settlers fighting the Gaza pul lout to discuss how to avoid bloodshed during the planned eviction. Heavily armed settler groups have vowed to resist Mr Sharon's plans to re move them from Gaza. "There will be determined resistance and therefore we must not leave a gu n in the hands of anyone - not a soldier nor a settler," Effi Eitam told Israeli television. Gaza luxury home headache "We do not want any weapons at all in the inner circle of evacuation," he said. Mr Ezra, the security minister, has in turn said Israeli police will coll ect weapons that are handed in voluntarily but "will not confiscate sett lers' firearms". It is not clear if the two sides have reached an agreement. Many of the settlers acquired their weapons from Israeli authorities who wanted to arm them against possible attack by Palestinian militants. Homes stay intact Israeli officials had initially said they would not leave behind any sett lement structures intact in Gaza for fear they would be taken over by mi litants. However, Mr Sharon's government appears to have altered its plans. The Israeli government has to demolish the houses and completely remove t he rubble Osama al-Farrah Khan Yunis mayor A military official quoted by Yediot Ahronot said religious buildings, sy nagogues and ritual bath-houses will be destroyed but homes will be left intact. However, many Palestinians believe Israel should shoulder the burden of d emolishing entire settlements, leaving the Palestinians free to use the land as they choose. The mayor of the Palestinian town of Khan Yunis has been quoted as saying the "Israeli government has to demolish the houses and completely remov e the rubble". "If they don't do that, they will have to pay for the demolition," Osama al-Farrah said. Almost 9,000 Jewish settlers are believed to inhabit some 20 heavily fort ified enclaves in Gaza. Estimates say the cost of demolishing these structures and removing the r ubble could exceed $20m.
