Maybe in Italy??? I lived with a family outside of Madrid, and while this "classic" Spain presented in the ads is culturally relevant in Madrilenos culture (think conservative, right-wing, traditional) and some parts of Andalusia, Barcelona which is Catalunyan, is culturally very different from Madrid—the only reasons…

True. Lately, I also tend to get invited to things less than a week in advance. I am totally thrilled that you are going to invite me to the sit down dinner holiday party that you have just been inspired to throw four days from now. Great! I do not feel like I should have to commit to something last minute that you…

My parents always had an issue with me watching the original Exodus as a child because of Charleton Heston. They couldn't stand that Moses was not played by a Jew nor the fact that he was an NRA advocate.

Because then all of the leftist British academics who continually keep fighting to boycott Israel, might have to admit that hebrews/jews/israelis have so sort of right or indigenous claim to Israel instead of continuing to perpetuate the myth of Israel being made up entirely of white colonial europeans. Only when the…

Yeah. We actually don't know being that the genetically Arab population that lives there now descended from a population that didn't colonize northern Africa until way after the Egyptian empire fell.

He also speaks about other incidents in his book. you can read the text on google.

Some of us actually date and marry within our culture because we don't care to hear the voice of a condescending person make some comment about incest (really? 30th cousins=incest???). Individuals are normally the people who choose to marry outside of their culture. Also, we're not the only culture with a history of…

Why not? If that's not how it works, then no indigenous people have a claim to any land anywhere.

It would be nice if Gawker framed the article from this perspective as, as an ashkenazi Jew, I've known for years that I may or may not be semi-related to Jews of European ancestry, and I think a majority of the Ashkenazi diaspora is aware of this. Which brings me to this question: What's the motive behind posting…

"The findings bolster the mainstream view that the ancestors of European Jews were people from the Levant and local Europeans." And, we're at least half-indigenous to the Middle East—So does that mean all Jews have a legitimate claim to land in the Middle East now? I don't have to cite to the bible anymore, to prove…

yup. Grandparents were second or third cousins. One born in Brooklyn, the other born in Kirkov, Ukraine.

Oy! I'm scrolling backwards. Just saw the earlier post. Now I have to text my friend. goodness sakes. Finally he's getting comeuppance!

I just posted this! It is true. The victim is my friend. I was there. It was horrible!!!!:

I went to college with him (Sarah Lawrence). He punched my female friend in the head at a school dance, a couple of months before graduation, leaving an imprint of her glasses in the side of her head. He is a monster. He wasn't allowed back on campus, EXCEPT to perform in a dance piece. He's a dancer. He's gross. He…

Actually, i think the court ruled the way it did because once Yelp in "good faith" discloses that purchasing ads increases ratings, they are essentially admitting that their site no longer bases ratings on actual reviews, but is now an ad servicing platform. The disclaimer will hopefully be something that the average…

or the charges could have been outside of the jurisdiction/statute of limitations...

Yup. A girl I used to babysit for posted a vid of herself singing in a bomb shelter. She lives in Ashdod. Is she supposed to act miserable while she's down there or make the best of the situation?

All the more reason to hate them! Right?

Ask Hamas to agree to a ceasefire.

Maybe they are doing it for them. Maybe it's not about you. Maybe they are teenagers who involuntarily have to serve in an army because they came out of a vagina in Israel. Maybe they are happy they don't live in a state that has the "right of return" for Palestinians so that an Islamist gov will be implemented…
