Best Day Of My Life: Making It Into The Jewish S.H.I.T List

By Ami Kaufman |Published July 4, 2013

This is a big day for me.

Bigger than my wedding day, bigger than the days my kids were born.

From today onwards, my life will be divided in two: my normal life until now, and the rest of my life after making it into the Jewish S.H.I.T List!



Yeah baby! You got that right! I am now an official Self Hating and/or Israel Threatening Jew!

They literally devote an entire article to nonsense like this and then try to pretend to be some kind of serious news site.

Even more strange is that someone would think this was worth sharing here.

It is an illustration of something really quite sad for all concerned (myself included for taking the time to post this comment).

Here's some more material from the authors of this list:
The Growing Arab Cancer Within Israel
Isreali Leftists don't Have a clue! (Yes, it says "Isreali" )
The New Evil Empire
THEY Must Go!

Masada2000 seems to be just another JDL-oriented hate site - hate against Arabs, hate against Muslims, hate against Jews, hate against leftists, all while claiming love for Israel.

it really bothers you that Ami Kaufman is poking at and making fun of a list of Jews, some with addresses, who are labeled as "self hating / Israel-threatening," on basis of not adhering to militant, fanatical Zionism? That we have a list where Jews are labeled "kapos" and "judenrat," "traitors," "threats to the Jewish people," "evil," "soap-makers," etc., for having an opinion is perfectly acceptable, to the point where exposure and mockery of it is the real problem at hand? That encouragement to "pay a visit to" the parents of one of the people on the list is okie-dokie, but Kaufman's writing needs to be vilified?

I'm going to go on a limb and guess that you just saw the link to 927mag and went into auto-whine mode becuase, while a defense of masada wouldn't surprise me coming from some posters, it sure does look odd coming from you.

the prevalence of those kinds of detailed enemy lists targeting individuals doesn't seem to bother oberliner. Else it would've been mentioned. I've seen too many people whose careers have been broken by an inadvertent sentence or phrase taken out of context and built upon to brand that person as evil, by compilers and promoters of such enemies lists.

The links you posted to Masada2000 articles are indeed way extreme compared to the gist of oberliner's contributions to I/P. But oberliner does agree with several of this forum's most prolific hasbarists, at least the extent of never objecting to what they say however extreme and, well, food for Masada2000. Perhaps the lack of pushback is based in solidarity to a program, to an idea of what the country of Israel is and should be?
I dunno....

I get more than my fill of trying to speak sense to the knuckleheads around here.
