And I heard him exclaim, as he was dragged out of sight:
“Merry Christmas to all, except for Jews — genocide!”

“Father christmas, give us some money
Well beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father christmas, give us some money
Dont mess around with those silly toys
But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
Hes got lots of mouths to feed
But if you’ve got one, Ill have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street”

Correct me if I am wrong.
Santa is a Christian and he is good to children and he doesn’t want them to blow themselves up.
December 21st, 2007 at 4:32 pm
And I thought all he did was just pose for pictures with Palestinian kids in their new wool and dynamite sweaters.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:20 am
I figured that Santa this year was going to send extra rockets painted like reindeer into Israel this year. And if the palestinians are muslims, what are they doing dressing like Santa. I didn’t think that Santa made bombs in his workshop to kill innocent people, I think the Santa union/association needs to revoke this ones credentials.

Palestine has a large Christian population. And they have been just as vocal against Israel if not more than their Muslim counter-parts. Christians have been killed and their religious places of wordship including Bethlehem and Jerusalem have been destroyed. And you guys still support the Israelis. Ironic.

Christians have been killed and their religious places of wordship including Bethlehem and Jerusalem have been destroyed.
Yeah…by mohammedans. Merry Christmas and shut up, javad.
December 22nd, 2007 at 10:52 am
Yes Javad, those Christians were outraged back in April of 2002 when Israel gunmen stormed the church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, used priests and nuns as human shields and held up in the church for 38 days. Oh wait… those were Arab, Muslim gunmen who desecrated the church and the Israelis had every opportunity to flatten the church and kill every single terrorist but instead showed restraint.
There is a very old mosque in the center of the Jewish quarter that is faithfully taken care and and preserved by the Jews there. In contrast, recently the Muslims in charge of the temple mount decided to dig a new water line and ignored the pleas of archaeologists and government mandated licensing and used a back hoe, destroying thousands of years of history.
If you knew anything about Christianity you would not find the support of Israel ironic. It is a biblical mandate for Christians and we believed all nations and peoples will be judged for how they treat God’s chosen people.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:41 pm
The only way that I can see Palestine having a large Christian population is if they claim Israel.
What am I thinking, every thing belongs to allah and muslims, “spit”.
javad, your full of s**t.
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:25 pm
If I remember correctly, wasn’t it their version (Palestinian) of Mickey Mouse killed by the Jews shown to their children in school?
Now they use Santa Clause being attacked by the Israel soldiers again!
I’m sure the Palestines will use this news and pictures to show the little kids how mean the Israel people are to their Mickey Mouse and to their Santa!
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:38 pm
Oh, c’mon! Roughly ten percent of the Palestinians on the West Bank are Christians. This can be compared with 2% Christians in Israel, most of whom are Arabs*, so if anyone is full of shit it’s Dez.
You have to remember that Palestinians is virtually anyone living in Israel/Palestine who is not Jewish. The area has had lots of different rulers and attracted people from many different regions throughout history. More than 75% of Palestinians are Muslims, so usually that’s what you think of, but ten percent is still a fairly large chunk of the population, dontcha think? The Christian portion used to be even larger, but they tend to get stuck in the crossfire, so I think they’ve emigrated in larger numbers than their Muslim cousins.
Arafat, who ran the secular Fatah movement, always made sure to include the Christian Palestinians, eg by visiting mass at Xmas, but Hamas is a strictly Muslim organisation who probably would prefer that the Christian portion went away just like the Jews.
And no, I’m neither Muslim nor Palestinian. It’s still pretty easy to find the facts if you know how to google or read a newspaper/book.
*according to the CIA World Fact Book Israel has 1.7% Christian Arabs and 0.4 “other Christians”
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:47 pm
Hey, David, if you knew anything about Christianity you would know it has spent the last thousand years persecuting and killing Jews…
When the Jews were thrown out of Spain in 1492 they sought refuge in the Muslim countries. In contrast, the hostilities between Muslims and Jews have only been going on since 1948.
Jews and Palestinians are genetically virtually indistinguishable, and Arab and Hebrew are two closely related languages. Both Jews and Arabs are supposedly descended from Abraham. It’s a very tragic war between siblings that unfortunately doesn’t seem easy to resolve. Shrug.
But don’t come and pretend like Christians have ever been nice to Jews. Remember the holocaust?
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:52 pm
I stand by my statement, I do not consider 10 percent high.
I also did look up the numbers and hold them as suspect, Not proof.
Especialy sinse Hamas took control in 2006.
So happy that you have landed on the site and brought us the wonderful world of books and Google.
How did we ever live without you?
December 22nd, 2007 at 4:22 pm
David and DEZ,
Gods Chosen people indeed. The Chosen people which is actually an apathied state. Who said this. Oh yeah it was Jimmy carter and Nelson Mandela who said it.
You foolish people are being brainwashed worse than the Jihadi terrorists. Atleast the Jihadi terrorists are ‘mostly’ illiterate.
Look outside the box my friend and ignore the white Israeli skin. Muslims gave sanctuary to persecuted Jews for more than a thousand years and then they stab us in the back.
Have a look at this video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=hef.....re=related
December 22nd, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Oh, yeah, right…sanctuary to “pigs and monkeys”. Try again, Jamal. I’ve read the mohammedan Mein Kampf, as well as the hadiths and the sunnah. There’s stuff in there that would have made Reinhard Heydrich and Adolf Eichmann blush!
Tell me another one about how great the mohammedans are, as well as their bootlicking butt buddies Carter and Mandela. Carter has been a dhimmi for thirty years and Mandela is just a stinking communist.
December 22nd, 2007 at 4:44 pm
“A people who have been expelled from every host nation for 2000 years must be doing something wrong.”
—-No wonder despite the mohammedan Mein Kampf. Millions of Jews sort sanctuary in Muslim lands from Christian Europe. Maybe you shuld read the Quran instead.?—–

Bernard Lewis is the undisputed foremost historian of Islam.

Jesus Christ was/is a Jew.
Therefor, Jews and Christians should get along. Christ said turn the other cheek.
Mohamad said kill the non-Mohamadan.
Proof is left to the reader.
December 22nd, 2007 at 4:58 pm
DEZ the 1st and 3rd video are taken out of context. In the third video by jews the speaker ment Israel. The 1st video is translated by Memri, whose credentials I donot trust. They srewed up many times in transations. Its the second video which I completely condemn. This man does not represent me or 99.99% of the Muslims.
SG: George Bernard Shaw also said “Islam is the best religion and Muslims are the worst followers”. And I totally agree with this statement.
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:01 pm
DEZ: Thank you. Now all of us together, say, “WORLD TRADE CENTER” “PENTAGON” “A FIELD IN PENNSYLVANIA”!
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:08 pm
“Its the second video which I completely condemn”
We most certainly do agree on that.
Would you please elaborate on how the other videos are taken out of context?
Can you tell us what part of the translations from the videos are incorrect?

“—-No wonder despite the mohammedan Mein Kampf. Millions of Jews sort sanctuary in Muslim lands from Christian Europe. *Maybe you shuld read the Quran instead.*?—–”
No thanks, If I wanted to read something by a pedophile war general, I would read something other than the Quran.
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:45 pm
Yes DEZ this link shuld be of interest for people who say Muslims are anti-jewish. I believe you have not read the entire wiki.
These sentences was enough for me and shuld be for you to.
“In much of the rest of the Muslim world of the Caliphate, and into the early Middle Ages, Jews retained a relatively secure position within Muslim society, achieving powerful positions in the great Muslim courts and centres of learning.”
“In the Iberian Peninsula, under Muslim rule, Jews were able to make great advances in mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, chemistry and philology. This era is sometimes referred to as the Golden age of Jewish culture in the Iberian Peninsula.”
“The Ottoman Empire had served as a refuge for Spanish Jews who had been expelled from the Kingdom of Spain and its territories and possessions, especially after the fall of Muslim Spain in 1492 and Edict of Expulsion. This was also the case for the Maghreb in North Africa, where a Jewish quarter (Mellah), was installed in most large Arabian cities. Later the Jewish converts were driven out of Spain fleeing the Roman Catholic Inquisition.”
There have been many instances of voilence against the Jews. Mostly political. But the Jews till 1930s enjoyed stable and good lives in Muslim lands. No wonder most were fleeing Europe. Even the Jews themselves admit these facts.
Is this a case of being more zionist than the zions?

ATLien: “No thanks, If I wanted to read something by a pedophile war general, I would read something other than the Quran.”
If you donot want to read it then you donot know about it. Kindly refrain from making derogatory statements.
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:47 pm
Derogatory statements????
Was there anything that I said that was not true?
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:53 pm
“PS: Wikipedia is not a trusted source of knowledge.”
Never said it was, But still you Cherry pick the parts you want and ignore the rest.
And was the Youtube video supposed to be the reliable source?
“I believe you have not read the entire wiki.”
Wanna bet? Are you projecting?
In the middle of the 19th century, J. J. Benjamin wrote about the life of Persian Jews: “…they are obliged to live in a separate part of town…; for they are considered as unclean creatures… Under the pretext of their being unclean, they are treated with the greatest severity and should they enter a street, inhabited by Mussulmans, they are pelted by the boys and mobs with stones and dirt… For the same reason, they are prohibited to go out when it rains; for it is said the rain would wash dirt off them, which would sully the feet of the Mussulmans… If a Jew is recognized as such in the streets, he is subjected to the greatest insults. The passers-by spit in his face, and sometimes beat him… unmercifully… If a Jew enters a shop for anything, he is forbidden to inspect the goods… Should his hand incautiously touch the goods, he must take them at any price the seller chooses to ask for them… Sometimes the Persians intrude into the dwellings of the Jews and take possession of whatever please them. Should the owner make the least opposition in defense of his property, he incurs the danger of atoning for it with his life… If… a Jew shows himself in the street during the three days of the Katel (Muharram)…, he is sure to be murdered.”[29]
Oh and I really like this one.
In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan because of the common belief of their impurity and forced to convert to Islam. However, as it became known that the converts continued to practice Judaism in secret and because the treasury suffered from the loss of jizya collected from the Jews, in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, but were still required to wear a distinctive patch upon their clothings.
How telling.
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:54 pm
JAMAL: what exactly was wrong in my statement? I am waiting for your reply.
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:57 pm
JAMAL: you want to know about Jews and Islam and Holocaust? Read about the “Grand Mufti” AKA Arafat’s Uncle and how his ideas encouraged the holocaust.
December 22nd, 2007 at 6:10 pm
Jamal: Mohammedan Mein Kampf = koran. I’ve worked around cattle all my life, and I can spot BS when I see it. Old Moe was slinging more bull in those epileptic ravings than a full powered John Deere manure spreader. If I want to be entertained about an insane sex maniac and his crimes, I’ll watch SVU. As far as I’m concerned, the koran is only fit to be toilet paper, or some fantasy about kiddie rape in Penthouse. Any excuse for a religion that follows an insane, murdering pedophile is a cancer on the face of the earth, and its followers are threats to all mankind and deserve to be segregated from the rest of humanity or annihilated en masse until they decide to be civilized and convert to a religion that worships something other than allah (AKA “shaytan”).
Grab a clue. Mohammedanism is a fraud, and that fraud is well known by those who haven’t been brainwashed by some sicko imam.
December 22nd, 2007 at 6:11 pm
“This man does not represent me or 99.99% of the Muslims.”
Jamal - Taking your number at face value, we are left with 0.01% of worldwide Muslims, which is about 120,000 Jihadists. 19 of the 120,000 (about 0.01%) killed 3000 Americans. Looks like a threat that should be taken seriously to me.
On the other hand, since I am just a brainwashed fool, I must be overreacting.
December 22nd, 2007 at 6:12 pm
On another thread JAMAL said he protested and burnt flags with the masses over the MUHAMHEAD cartoons. LOL, stone age savages never cease to amaze me.
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:32 pm
Let us agree that some Jews, Christians, and Mohamadans have been worse than mean to each other.
But tomorrow is another day. At least in the “secular” USA we don’t have physical religious wars, PLEASE.
When I speak derogatorily about a particular group I mean the “radically violent” cult/sect of that group. Christians that kill abortionists are “bad, very, very bad.”
Merry Christmas!!
