"But an Israeli official said this week that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had dropped Israel's objection to Hosni's candidacy after a personal request by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at a meeting this month."

Better keep biatching then.

FTFA: "I want to solemnly say that I regret the words that I used," he wrote.

You only regret it because you were called out on it, you anti-semitic ass-hat.

These types of "apologies" only serve to cheapen real ones.

Yes. Also, don't point out the white phosphorus they drop on civies either, or you are an anti-semite.

Any criticism of Israel is somehow a direct racial attack on worldwide Jews. Just look how oppressed they are! I mean, look at their numbers in US government relative to their population....wait..

I had to look it up. From the wiki:

The American Jewish population was estimated to be approximately 5,128,000 (1.7%) of the total population in 2007 (301,621,000). However, it may be as high as 6,444,000 (2.2%).

Nope. You'd be racist if you thought they were in the international media BEACUSE they were Jewish, and that the Jews in the media conspired to bring in more Jews to the media also because of their religion. The whole correlation/causation thing.

To be fair, Woody Allen movies suck. But Albert Brooks is awesome.

Little known facts: Albert Brooks' real last name is Einstein, and his brother is Super Dave Osborne.

If a lot of countires disagree with you through the forum of the UN just dismiss it as "UN bias" instead of acknowledging a genuine complaint from the global community.

You don't think they look out for each other? I know if I'm hiring, I'll give special consideration to people from my home state or who went to my alma mater. If Jews are less than 2% of the U.S. population, why wouldn't they help each other out?

I think there's a difference between unintentional preference due to commonality and a hiring strategy with a racial component.

An analogy: At an interview for a job, my boss saw that I had been in marching band in college. She had also been in marching band, loved the fact that I did it, and it got us into a great conversation that helped the interview. Was it the determining factor? Probably not. If there had been an equally qualified applicant for the position though, perhaps our common experience would have caused her to remember more good things about me. If she had hired me because I was in a marching band, that would be discriminatory.

In that case, your boss should fire you for putting good personal judgement and the goals of the company below your own petty favoritism.

Not okay if you, Christians, Jew, Muslims, Pastafarians or Atheists do it... favoritism for creed over capability is corruption.

Unless you're hiring for a religious position. Then discriminate away, naturally.

Welcome to the real world. And "special consideration" doesn't mean "you're hired."

No, but only because 'Jews' aren't a race.

If your mother was a Jew, you're a Jew, regardless of your religion. What is that but descent, and thus, race?
