"The sandals and the Gilligan’s Island hat are kind of a dead giveaway."

Interestingly, the "Gilligan's Island hat" is a "tembel hat" (literally means "silly hat") and was the hat of choice for early Israeli kibbutzim.

It's kind of a national symbol in Israel (as are sandals -- give us a break, it's hot). She may be trying to make a political statement that Israelis understand. I certainly took it that way.

As a further aside, the tembel-wearing shlemiel is kind of a cartoony way of showing the "redneck/everyman Israeli" in Israel:



and Mr. Scwartz clearly used the cartoon character "Srulik" as his model for Gilligan.

A “village idiot” dunce cap.

So maybe they're NOT commies, but rather members of the "Silly Party".

Are these Americans practicing Jews?

I ask that because among Catholics you have a split between practicing Catholics and those who aren't Catholic but say they are (Pelosi) because their dad or grandfather was Irish/Italian/Spanish/French Canadian/Eastern European/German Catholic.

[Jewbacca]

Not fair to let them co-opt the hat.

By co-opting the dress of the settlers they despise — the kibbutzim (espeically the lady in the white hat, far side of picture), they are doing something akin to wearing an American military uniform when protesting the war.

I own my father’s khaki IDF hat of the same pattern. It’s a prized possession.

[Jewbacca]

No, they are not observant Jewish people, as evident from the picture.

HaShem used a pharaoh to start the first Israel.

He also grades on a curve.

wearing an American military uniform when protesting the war.

Nobody would ever do that ...

[Darren McCarty]

Looks like a typical Ann Arbor protest (generally athiests or unitarians).

[Jewbacca]

“Nobody would ever do that ...”

They don’t really have any new plays in their playbook, do they?

[NorthMountain]

They run the same play over and over ... Heck, they even put it all in a BOOK.

Ok, I see what you mean. Makes me sick seeing commies wearing American military uniforms.

2. Im having dinner tonight with some Russian Jews.
3. Say hello to Rand Paul.

JEWISH AMERICAN WOMEN AGAINST THE OCCUPATION

I saw “Jewish American Women” in th context of an article about Jewish American exceptionalism - and instantly transcribed that to “Jewish American Princesses against . . ."

[Slambat]

“Stop frothing at the mouth, bla bla bla”

Still I’m right.

[Jewbacca]

Not really.

[NorthMountain]

WTF?

Seriously, dude ...

You owe me an explanation for that bizarre rant.

Maybe your best bet would be to ask the moderators to delete it.
