Man of the year 5772!

New year resolutions: Sampson: stop dating this chick Delilah. Eisner: loose weight.
XYZ
A Jew smacking a blonde, Nordic Aryan. My, my, my, times have changed.

Yeah, the raison d’etre of the Jewish State, right XYZ? They can kill 6 million of us, but now we can show ‘em. What a fantastic perspective.

Usually Semites are being beaten up, so from time to time IDF must show that it is non-anti-Semitic.

All blonde Jews are also considered “blonde Aryan”? Be serious, please. I can understand that many people in Menahem Begin’s generation hated Germans, any German. Even if they weren’t right, they had a serious reason to do that. But re-writing history now as a confrontation between Jews and “blonde Aryans” (anti-Nazi Scandinavians included, I may ask?) is ridiculous. By the way, “Aryan race” as conceived by the Nazis doesn’t exist, it has never existed, so it’s funny to see people like XYZ implicitly giving their assent to Nazi Weltanschauung.
