If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me. ========================================================= The "it's only Jews" defense arrives in America for arson. Or at least it's only the f—-ing rich Jews.

I doubt, the No one went to the hospital. No one was physically injured is significant in the eyes of the defense.

Nasal clothespin required.

Mr Cohen, in my humble opinion, you are as guilty as they are.

How dare you defend this type of hate? How dare you misrepresent the killing of Muhammed Dura. You distort facts to defend this most blatant form of anti-Semitism.

You disgust me.

[ricpic]

No matter what the Arabs do there's always "a reason," isn't there.
Jews everywhere must realize that they are under assault for the crime of existing as Jews, period.
They must fight back.
No soul searching please.

[sheik yerbouty]

Cohen is a capo.

[aculeus]

Pro-Israeli American Jews are a dime a dozen. So, how does a pathetic egomaniac get attention?

[dighton]

So, how does a pathetic egomaniac get attention?

In Mr. Cohen's case, by posturing as more fair-minded than God.

Not THAT Riverdale, THIS Riverdale:

Riverdale was mostly poor-quality farmland until the 1830s-40s, when cholera epidemics forced well-to-do Manhattanites to this northern neighborhood. The establishment of a Hudson River Railroad station in 1849 further spurred growth, and by the turn of the century the area was dotted with numerous villas and grand mansions. Today, Riverdale is still the most affluent section of the Bronx, but it offers a range of housing options, from multi-million-dollar single-family homes to one- bedroom apartments for $850 per month. There's been a large Jewish population in Riverdale since the post-WWII period, as evidenced by the community’s many temples, religious schools and kosher eateries. The Riverdale Community Association is a strong force in keeping the area from becoming overdeveloped, but an abundance of stores and ethnic restaurants blanket Riverdale’s main thoroughfares. Only ten miles from midtown Manhattan, Riverdale is a 30-minute commute on the 1 or 9 line or a 45-minute trip on the Liberty Line Express Bus.

. In America, we prefer that our madmen act alone, like El Sayid Nosair, the assassin of Rabbi Meir Kahane, back in 1990. When Kahane was killed, who among us didn’t say it was the chickens coming home to roost, before the chicken turned out to be us and the assassin, Nosair, turned out to have roosted with Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, an open confederate of Osama bin Laden.

That sums up the Left Wing Jewish attitude...Kahane...he deserved it!

So, no one translated the writings in Nosair's apartment until after World Trade Center One, which killed six and injured hundreds.

Folks, we have Ground Zero in no small measure due to the LEFT!!

Cohen has a long history of claiming to be a Jew, and defending the Arabs as they try hard to exterminate Jews.

I think if I remember right, he also represents Hizbullah and other terror organizations, so he benefits financially from the deal as well.Just another Jewish Quisling bent on killing his own people. In another time, he would be loading people on to the Fuhrers boxcars for Auschwitz.

[SJackson]

I wouldn't doubt it, though he's made some reputation for himself representing Hamas.

A Washington Post piece on Cohen.

Man, I read that article and I almost got physically ill. What a schmuck he is. " I am a Communist, I sleep with my dog, etc"
And he has the nerve to call himself a Jew on top of it all.
Why carry the identity when you dont practice the faith, identify with the people of the State of Israel, and do your best to help murderers kill your own?

Oh well. Not for me to judge, but you can bet the man upstairs will have a word with him someday.

Take care SJ..and BTW...I admire your stand on Israel and your dedication. My family appreciates it

[SJackson]

He's a communist, an athiest.

[Nachum]

Time to buy a gun.

[muawiyah]

You are suggesting that lawyer Cohen would have been a voluntary Zonderkommando, right?

Supposedly there were such people - in a TV show years ago, "V", a Jewish grandfather who had escaped the Nazi deathcamps discovered that his grandson had sold out to the lizards, and he remembered others who had done that in the past - a very powerful literary device 20+ years ago, but I wonder if we are going to be understanding the phenomenon in the next 20 as the witnesses pass on.

That mean you want to be on my 2nd ammendment ping list? ;>)
