Iraqi nickname for American soldiers? The Jews

americangoy.blogspot.com — "Many Iraqis have so much distrust for U.S. forces we found they've come up with a nickname for our troops," Scott said. "They call American soldiers 'The Jews,' as in, 'Don't go down that street, the Jews set up a roadblock"

  • americangoy, on 04/18/2008, -6/+20The article I quote is from Thomas L. Friedman, hardly a liberal one that...

    In fact, no one pushed harder for this war THAN Friedman.

    Which makes for interesting reading.

  • Stevanoski, on 04/18/2008, -12/+5The Lefts nickname for Jews: NeoCons.
    • MarkusGarvey, on 04/18/2008, -4/+6that was pretty lame stevie...your not giving me much to work with here...
      • Stevanoski, on 04/18/2008, -6/+4lol, well Mr. Estrada or Senor, if you prefer, sometimes less is more.
        • MarkusGarvey, on 04/18/2008, -4/+3i think i prefer "Your Majesty".... ..i can see you have been doing your homework stevie...do you have any other jobs?...
          • Stevanoski, on 04/19/2008, -2/+4Well didn't most of us join digg originally because of technical articles we were pursuing. Most techies, we leave broad footprints, not difficult to follow particularly if you own a small business.

            Wish you every success in the world with yours and admire your banter, if it means anything, I consider you one of the best.
          • MarkusGarvey, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3thanks for the complement stevie...but what compels you to look up my personal info?...it is on the creepy side....but i have nothing to hide....
          • Stevanoski, on 04/19/2008, -3/+3Mark, why would you choose the name of an advocate for separation of the races? I find that either a little creepy or perhaps it is naivete.

            I chose mine as a cineophil, loved the cinematography of Beowulf. Quite well shot and Orde was the color & lighting technical director. Hated reading it in college but at least the first half of the film was true to the epic.
          • MarkusGarvey, on 04/19/2008, -0/+4if you do a bit more research on Marcus Garvey, he fought for equality for an oppressed people, tried to give African slaves and former slaves a way to return to their homeland, no to mention he was one of the best orators of all time..i am a reggae musician and my nickname was given to me, by Jamaican Rastafarian's who i have played with over the years, and feel very honored that i was given that nickname..Marcus Garvey did not advocate separation, he advocated equality....
          • Stevanoski, on 04/19/2008, -3/+3He may have been all you said but had feet of clay, he was a separatist.

            "...idealized as a leader, and notorious to some for his separatist and inflammatory beliefs, Garvey's impact was undeniable...." there are so many more. It is undeniable he preached separation of races.

            I think the way you got your name is cool.
          • MarkusGarvey, on 04/19/2008, -0/+4you have consider the era that he lived in...you are wrong again stevie....his philosophy was for the unity of black people.."Garvey became convinced that uniting Blacks was the only way to improve their condition"...we are talking about the early 1900's here...the type of separation that he wanted was the separation black people from their white masters...hell, the man even met with the KKK!... and consider this...
            During a trip to Jamaica, Martin Luther King and his wife Coretta Scott King visited the shrine of Marcus Garvey on June 20, 1965 and laid a wreath.[29] In a speech he told the audience that Garvey "was the first man of color to lead and develop a mass movement. He was the first man on a mass scale and level to give millions of Negroes a sense of dignity and destiny. And make the Negro feel he was somebody."[30]

            King was also the posthumous recipient of the first Marcus Garvey Prize for Human Rights on December 10, 1968 issued by the Jamaican Government and presented to King's widow.
            and this...
            Garvey's memory has been kept alive worldwide. Schools, colleges, highways, and buildings in Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States have been named in his honor. The UNIA red, black, and green flag has been adopted as the Black Liberation Flag. Since 1980, Garvey's bust has been housed in the Organization of American States' Hall of Heroes in Washington, D.C.....
          • 911ArtStudent, on 04/19/2008, -2/+2Aren't Zionists just Jewish separatists? Why would a Zionist make an issue of choosing Marcus Garvey as a username?
        • PlagueOfMorons, on 04/19/2008, -5/+3Veiled threats go both ways, Stev, if you get my drift?
          • Stevanoski, on 04/19/2008, -6/+4hmmmm, a Leftist threatening someone, now why does that not surprise anyone. Now Plaq, please tell me what threat I made?
        • PlagueOfMorons, on 04/19/2008, -3/+4Stev, in your case, we live in fear of your breath.
          • Stevanoski, on 04/19/2008, -5/+2lol, somewhat funny but quite juvenile.
        • PlagueOfMorons, on 04/19/2008, -2/+4Interesting, thinly-attended thread yet my comment was instantly dugg down twice in five minutes, once before you signed off, and once right after, and you're the only one posting beside me. Shill account much?
          • Stevanoski, on 04/19/2008, -5/+2no shill, dang, paranoia runs deep among the left. If I sign off it is because I found something interesting to do. But it is quite flattering that you follow me Plaque. You know floss will rid you of that if that is why you picked your name.

      • Stevanoski, on 04/19/2008, -6/+4lol, quite a comeback there ships, you will go far in life I predict.
  • m2garand, on 04/19/2008, -4/+7Well that's who the US military is serving?
    • hamobu, on 04/19/2008, -2/+5Many Jews are anti-Zionists, and many non-Jews are Zionists. This is not about one ethnic group vs. another. This is about right and wrong, and that should transcend religion and ethnicity.
  • hamobu, on 04/19/2008, -2/+7Many Jews are anti-Zionists, and many non-Jews are Zionists. This is not about one ethnic group vs. another. This is about right and wrong, and that should transcend religion and ethnicity.
    • LadyKofNYC, on 04/19/2008, -2/+5It should transcend religion and ethnicity, but that would harm Zionist goals, as anti-Semitism works in their favor.

      The Jews that the Middle Easterners encounter on a daily basis are Zionist nationalist who constantly scream "Israel is for the Jews" and who commit barbaric acts against them in the name of Judaism. So it's perfectly logical that they would equate Zionists and their lapdog (America) with Jews. At the same time, Zionist nationalist work overtime to suppress, subvert, minimize and disenfranchise Jewish protest (as well as any other protest) against Zionist barbary. Their barbaric acts in the name of Judaism coupled with their suppression of protest and criticism against them then increases anti-Semitism, as Jewish protest is not seen or heard; all that's seen and heard is the constant equation of Zionism to Judaism. This in turn increases anti-Semitism, which then reinforces Zionists' claim that they are the great saviors of the Jewish people. Problem - Reaction - Solution.

      Zionist nationalism is Totalitarianistic in nature, as it attempts to bind all Jews, whether they want to or not, to one identity. It has a deep hatred of individuality and independent thought. However, I have hope, as history has shown that the individual spirit always wins in the end. Zionism and its psychological enslavement of the Jewish people (and some non-Jews) won’t last forever.
