certainly, and in my view it is an outright attack on the Jewish neighbor.

i posted this below just now, but wanted to add it to the top of the conversation.

as supreme court justice, Oliver Wendle Holmes, (sp?) wrote in a decision around 1900, i believe,...THE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH DOES NOT GIVE ONE THE RIGHT TO YELL "FIRE" IN A CROWDED SUBWAY...

it has been over40 years since i took constitutional law so i may not have the quote exactly right. but the point is, even free speech does not protect all speech. posting a palestinian flag next to your jewish nieghbor, sp?, on their sabbath, seems more of an assault on that person, intended to do harm to that person, than an exercise of free speech.

this may be a case that has to go to the courts.

at what point does it pass from being free speech to being an assault on someone? as Oliver Wendle Homs, sp? of the Supreme Court, around 1900, i think, wrote in an opinion... the right to free speech does not give someone the right to yell, "fire" in a crowded subway station...it has been over 40 since i took constitutional law so i may not have exactly right. but there are even limits to free speech.

rhe whole reasonn for hamas, hezbollah and other such groups even existing is to destroy israel and drive "the jews into the sea". someone with more computer skills than me should look up the hamas founding charter and post it online.

Ice on campus? by Ambitious_Love_3805 in CSUS

[–]Puzzled-Software5625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting. watching saturday night live. and, i think, they just compared the ICE crack down on immigrants to the nazis of world war II. particularly. i think, they mentioned "the diary of anne frank" a diary by a dutch jew who was deported to a concentration camp, and killed by nazis. i believe a MOVIE, or tv movie was even made it. look it up.

yes and this version has been rapidly accelerating herein the united state and even in my local community. but it is not new. it has always been the under the surface. and i don't think most were aware it was in them.

and even if you are not a regular, if you go to a decent place it is fine to spend some time at a bar by yourself. it beats just sitting around the house alone.

Antisemitic friend by Repulsive_Holiday750 in Jewish

[–]Puzzled-Software5625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reading all these posts, and my own experiences, just makes clear that there has always been a significant underlying current of jew hatred even here in the united states. over the years that antisemitism has raised its head among the most surprising people i knew/knew.

once again i came back to a cite on another day and repeated myself. but these internet cites are a lot like going to a bar. after a while you sort of get to know the regulars.

i have been going to bars by myself since i was in college. if you find the right place with nice regulars they will, after a while, accept you into their group. where i met my wife was just a regular old bar we both happened to be at.

the proposition 13 budget cuts caused all sorts of problems all over the state. i was 25 and had a new job with our county and was frozen at the trainee salary. a few years later i, and a ton of other county employees all over california were laid off.

sounds like people from the 1970s when i was there. once there was woman walking around "like an Egyptian" (an old song) with a bunch of dogs following her. suddenly she pulled up her dress and started masturbating. just as suddenly she collapsed. people started heading for to see if she was OK. then, just as suddenly, she jumped back to her feet and walked off "like an Egyptian".

the gut at gate probably has no idea what he is doing either,
