This I like

Another joke about Palin.

She is a real friend of Israel, unlike your faux "friend" Clegg - who didnt seem to know Israel was a Jewish state.

I can see why John McCain wanted a conservative running mate in the 2008 presidential election, given that he is not himself on his party's most conservative wing. My question is why he chose this particular conservative, namely Sarah Palin.

Colin Powell well explained why Sarah Palin is not suited to the US presidency here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7BYR_UjsoI.

This, meanwhile, is an interesting analysis of why many American Jews do not support Sarah Palin: http://www.commentarymagazine.com/viewarticle.cfm/why-jews-hate-palin-15..., including, it has to be said, many unfair misconceptions that some people have about her.

Myself, when it comes to American politics, I'm still a Clinton Democrat. She's way too far to the right on a range of social issues for me to ever wish her well politically.

Re:- "Israel a Jewish state". When Binyamin Netanyahu made that speech last year calling on the Arab world to not just recognise Israel, but to recognise Israel as a Jewish state, he was saying something new. That is what Nick Clegg was referring to when he raised it at the Q&A at the EISCA lecture, not long after the relevant speech by Mr Netanyahu. I was at the EISCA lecture. Over coffee beforehand, one of the Anglo-Jewish community's leading public intellectuals was talking privately about how new and interesting it was that Mr Netanyahu had called for the Arab world to recognise Israel "as a Jewish state". This was misunderstood in the coverage of the event. The debate continues: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/25/world/middleeast/25israel.html

Anyway, the Arab countries and the would-be 23rd Muslim country do not recognize Israel. So let's avoid even mentioning a "Jewish state".

Amber
You badly need a sense of humour implant, if only it was available on the NHS. I thought Paul Usiskin's joke was funny but you obviously didn't and still had to get a dig in about something or other.....

Pathetic unfunny joke.

Jihad Jenny, Madeleine Kirk, Lord Wallace and Chris Davis - on the other hand - are regrettably not jokes

Very, very funny and very reminiscent of the David Levy jokes of the 1980s and 90s, the best one of which was the person he dispatched to London as ambassador, Drrrrrror Ziegerman.
Get a sense of humour, folks.

Sure Erdman and millis, the left are great at taking jokes at their expense - oh sorry, you never hear any.

These"jokes" are nothing of the kind - but are instead ways of disseminating propaganda (look at the right wing American, arent they stupid)? The left has been making this same moronic and ignorant "joke" for the last 40 years.

Here's a joke - Israel gets destroyed because too many morons made jokes about politicians who may actually support Israel, the same morons who support politicians hostile to Israel.

Good grief. By the way, Amber, I can hardly be described as "left" as I voted Tory in the last election and for Boris for mayor.

What did you think about the invasion of Iraq Joe Millis?

Matt, I was in favour, despite the fact that there appeared to be no exit strategy and no proper plan to rebuild the country. And you? And what has this to do with the joke?

Just wondered.

I was in favour as well, and mostly because I wanted Saddam gone. Like most people I expect. And if there is a God I would expect him to punish me for it.

Is there someone in the house that maybe could direct jonathan and Amber to their nearest sense of humour shop ?

Jonathan may need the aid of a wheelchair on account of his badly injured foot

armchair, visceral hater of Israel, likes "jokes" at the expense of Israel supporters.

Wonder why that me be.

maybe the met police could give him a bit of a leg up ?

well joe if you voted for Boris for mayor no one will ever be able to accuse you of having no sense of humour if you live to be a thousand

Sure armchair I'm sure you support the Qaradawi admirer livingstone.

LOL, even funnier that the likes of JH & amby have had a serious sense of humour failure. Come on guys, 'tis the season to be jolly'

zair, another Jew hater, likes jokes aimed at those who support Israel.

See a pattern emerging?

Now zair making reference to Christmas to other readers on a Jewish website is funny - as is his stupidity.

Amby dosn't do Jolly. I never did believe the rumour that there is a photo somewhere online of her kissing santa

Neither did she believe the rumour that there was an ounce of intelligence in you, Armchair.

Are you saying he's Anthony Posner, aka Blacklisted Dictator? Hasn't he been banned? Twice?

Even Millis find that stupid, Armchair! Must be quite evident!

Yet another moronic comment from armchair. He gets his jollies from the Jews being kicked around.

millis, why do you always remain indifferent to the antisemites? You never criticize them, and instead obsess about puerile irrelevancies.

Boris is a vastly better mayor than the vile terrorist-hugger who preceded him.

Are we allowed to tell jokes about Putin?
He welcomes global warming because in about 50 years Siberia will be so warm that everyone will want to there for their holidays

P.S. Sorry there is no mention of Jews, Israel, Zionism, Antisemitism, Jonathan Hoffman......

However Sarah Palin can see him in Russia on a clear day from Alaska.

Pathetic and unfunny. But not surprising that the pathetic and unfunny left has to resort to personal and pathetically unfunny attacks, seeing that they have been found out as having nil in the way of apparel.

http://www.commentarymagazine.com/viewarticle.cfm/why-jews-hate-palin-15... Definitely worth a read

It boils down to Palin being not intellectually qualified for the President job. Not even for VP job.

The worse is that she is the best hope for Obama second term.

I bet you are pleased to see your " friend " Yoni back Jonathan. Feeling a little lonely are we ? Any pishers or tossers around today ?

Yes, you.

Jose, the myth that Obama has brains was exploded long ago, along with the myth that he has integrity and that he is against racism. Not that I believed any of those nonsensical myths at any time.

Yoni it is very rude to answer questions addressed to someone that is not you

Why did Nick Clegg cross the road?

Because he'd promised his supporters that he wouldn't!

Boom boom.
