Comments by David G. Littman in his capacity as a failed letter-writer to the International Herald Tribune:
I went through the ritual of sending a letter to the International Herald Tribune, knowing full well it would not be published. For 30 years and more, all my letters were accepted, especially from 1986 on UN topics - but for the last decade or so nothing from me passes muster. It proves (for me) that freedom of opinion and expression depend on the whims of an editor. As this 'letter to the editor' was a joker's query for Jihadists and Haredis alike, it merits publication as a teaser in Jihad-Watch.

Alana Newhouse's article (Who is a Jew? - July 17-18) raises a tricky question for
outsiders. If the "ultra Orthodox, or Haredi, rabbis" manage to push through their
Knesset Bill on "Jewish identity", how will the ulema then decide: "who is a Jew?"
Their reiterated preaching of the hadith (from al-Bukhari and Muslim) concludes
the binding Hamas Charter's genocidal article 7: "The Day of Judgment will not come
about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind
stones and trees. The stones and trees will say: O Muslims, O Abdullah [slave of Allah],
there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree would not do that
because it is one of the trees of the Jews."
And what about the Jewish Gharkad tree - who will decide if it's 'Jewish' or not?
A Hamas-Haredi Dilemma: Who is a Jew? What is a Jewish tree?

The easy way to decide whether the Gharkad tree is Jewish is to check it for Zionist squirrels: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2007/07/iranians-arrest-14-squirrels-for-spying.html
Maybe it's the Tree of Life

This letter reminds me of an edition of the Hugh Hewitt national radio show in which he teamed up with Victor Davis Hanson to delve into the reasons behind the resurgence of antisemitism in Europe.

What a ridiculous topic. It couldn't have anything to do with all the Moslems in Europe now, could it? It's obvious that many white Europeans feel that they must either sell out the Jews or take it on the chin from the Moslems. That train of thought seems to have taken hold in America, too.
*** 33:26 ***
I don't know what Hugh and Victor figured out because I turned off the radio in disgust. Hugh does't like to discuss Islamic scripture or history, although he will spend a few minutes now and then decrying that tiny minority of extremists.
*** 59:14 ***
Hugh is safe. Sounds like the editors of the International Herald Tribune want to be safe, too. And who can blame them? There are lotsa Moslems in Paris.
If there are Zionist squirrels acting as spies then there must be a lot of Muslim nuts out there.
Yes, and we all know what squirrels do with nuts; they bury them.
Hello! sorry. I am not getting what this topic is all about.. can someone here please take a minute nd explain.
thank you

Topic, miriam, is a bar with a nut in every bite. And a Ghurka is only allowed to draw his knife under oath.
The topic is that at its foundation Islam is antisemitic.
*** 33:26 ***
And you don't have to be an Islamic fundamentalist or an Islamist or whatever to have that foundation under your feet. To wit, Prez Mahmoud of Iran does, Supreme Ayatollah Khameini does too, and they're totally digging the experience.
This is dreadful. And to think that a real country like Taiwan goes unrecognized!
It's a form of boxthorn.
