you might be onto something there, like my point.

I have seen the Arab papers in the same way I have seen the hateful Jewish papers. In NYC there is The Jewish Press, which is full of such garbage and I for one can’t stand that “Jewish” is associated with such filth.

That said, I do believe there is a big difference between looking around and counting the rabbis as they pass and being descriptive of the surroundings.

My apologies for my rushed response.

And living in Chicago, when I see any Arab media call Jews “pigs” and “apes,” I would speak out against that as do many Arabs that I know. The fact is I haven’t seen that except in rightwing Israeli web sites like “JihadWatch” and MEMRI which selects the ugliest in Arab society to translate and ignores all the positive

People should write on this web site what they feel. The fact that we are together sharing our views (not just Arabs/Palestinians and Israelis/Jews, but also Arab Muslims and Arab Christians) is the achievement.

We don’t have to accept each other’s narratives, just respect that we share one vision for the future of peace, justice, principle and tolerance. Tolerance means we read, listen and try to understand what others are saying. It’s not easy to do but we learn far more than just being angry

I go up north and eat at a Moroccan Jewish restaurant all the time … just as I spend loads of time eating at my favorite Arab restaurants in Chicago. But th efact is, I am a great cook and make Maftoul, stuffed grapeleaves and tabouli all the time. (In fact, I have a video on how to make tabouli online at http://www.ArabAmericanTVOnline.com which is one of the most popular of about 60 online videos I have produced.)

I say FREE THE FOOD FIRST, AND THEREBY FREE THE PEOPLE

Like if you went to koreatown and said you were counting ninjas or something like that.

Japanese are ninjas, not Koreans.

Peter, counting rabbis is simply that, just counting for my own entertainment. I dont care what their political views are nor did I suggest anything about them in my post. I simply chose to describe the enviornment that I observed in order to provide a context for my story. nothing personal buddy but i just dont like the racist finger pointing.

Everyone gets so sensitive about the words that natural describe others, Black, Jew, Mexican, White guy etc. Some how these words become slurs. I will admit that I intentionally challenge that way of thinking by using those titles with no apologies.

Also I apologize for my misuse of the word kibbutzim, I even researched it and thought i understood the meaning. No harm no foul.

I never knew the word “rabbi” was a racial slur. Enlighten me Peter.

Please tell me one thing that pointed to any anti-Semitism in DB’s post.

And please point to ARab news outlets that call Jews pigs and apes in those cities you mentioned. I really don’t think there are many Arabs in Oakland or south Chicago for that matter.

kibbutzim (settlements in occupied territories)

Looks like you don’t know what is a Kibutz… Some Israeli surely has to make a post about them… here is a glimpse:

Kibbutzim were first formed in the land now known as Israel in the early 1920s by Russian immigrants. These societies were established on the principles of social equality – where each member of the Kibbutz (a Kibbutznik) is to be treated as an equal. This means they work together collectively for the good of all. As the work load and benefits of the Kibbutz are shared by all members, each Kibbutznik’s contribution is considered equal. Although a small percentage of the country’s population lives on a kibbutz, they are an integral part of Israeli Society.

If we really want to be even, let look at all the Arab and Muslim press outlets that describe Jews as pigs and apes. They aren’t just in the Arab world; they are in South Chicago and Detroit and Oakland and New York.

Moslem Births dropped by 5%

I thought it was on the rise, hence the Jews going nuts over Eeerabs taking over Israel by out breeding them. Hmmm…
