We jews have the ability to laugh about the most tragic events, and of life's ordeal in general. I thought the profiling email was quite funny and I didn't think twice about offending anybody. I asked 2 close people here whether they thought it was racist. One said that's nonsense and the other said it was. So MEA CULPA. Now VINCE, first you post severe attacks on Sharon with an analogy to Eichmann. Then I post saying you relay simplistic lies and question your moral authority. Then you post you meant Netanyahu, not Sharon. That your whole life was affected by the Shoah, that you FORGIVE me for attacking you because you understand your post set me off. Then you seize the first opportunity to equate the profiling email which was meant to be funny with the Protocol of Zion and other KKK racist trash. How can you equate this email which has a factual basis with racist fiction that is made up? Did muslim extremists accomplish what the email says or not.? Do Jews drink virgin Christian girls' blood each year? What kind of analogy is that? Then you conclude by saying my relaying this thrash takes away any moral authority I may have, which by the way I never claimed to have since I'm not a clergy member. All the while PREACHING LOVE. I am not drawing conclusions on this chain of events yet. I'll let you do it if you feel so inclined. I cannot spend days dissecting every word you write. Let's just say I feel unconfortable with you preaching love, even pages and pages of it, and then behaving this way. Not to mention the simplistic lies for which you still stand and which depict Israel as having no moral fiber. You of all people should know it's not true. Again, I'm not a clergy member so everything here is my own personal opinion, including blunders. As long as you sign "the Rev" then I feel that you have a duty to watch your words which I don't have. Laurent
