Israel: Back in February, an couple of Israelis announced their own response to the Mohammed cartoons:
Eyal Zusman (30, back from anonymity) and Amitai Sandy (29), graphic artist and publisher of Dimona Comix Publishing, from Tel-Aviv, Israel, have followed the unfolding of theMuhammad cartoon-gateevents in amazement, until finally they came up with the right answer to all this insanity - and so they announced today the launch of a new anti-Semitic cartoons contest - this time drawn by Jews themselves!
We'll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published!said SandyNo Iranian will beat us on our home turf!
Well, the results are in, and you can view the cartoons online: Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoons Contest, and an exhibition in Tel Aviv is planned. Not surprisingly, most refer to the Palestinian situation, the Holocaust or parody old tropes about Jewish control of the media. There are a few making reference to that eternally Prattleworthy topic, the Blood Libel, and my choice for the best of them is Matzoh Balls, by Guttman and McConnell.

Hey feorag since you stopped to other site I'll just come find you. Before you start putting down our school you need to look at our grades. Our school has the best grades in our county. Our school is probably one of the smartest in the state. We have excellent teachers and awesome Principals. So quit putting the school down because your not only putting the school, students, and teachers down but your putting our community down. So quit saying crap about us without knowing the facts.

If you were a child in a country with some remaining standards in education, you would have just failed your English GCSE with your persistent inability to realise that the contraction of "you are" is "you're". Fortunately, you are allowed to think that you are equipped for life in an English-speaking country without knowing English.
The reason the old thread does not work is because we upgraded the software, and changed the name of the comment script. The pre-update entries all point to the old script name, and to correct them would take a rebuild of the entire site. As the pubs close in a little over an hour, and a good friend from London is in the pub, I have more important things to do than worry about whether you can taint my site with your iliterate drivel.

The individual post that "Jeremy the Troll" was whingeing about has been rebuilt, so I guess we can look forward to him repeatedly proving how pathetically low education standards are at his school once more.
Considering how long that single post took, I do not envy you that full site rebuild.

Excuse me for not being perfect like ya'll. Since ya'll have never left out a comma or accidently misspelled a word. So let me guess is your major in English? Probably not so quit being stupid idiots more worried about the way I spell words and get back to the point of the site.

Jeremy (Special, like the Olympics): We have never claimed to be perfect. We have, however, pointed out to you on several occasions, the difference between a typo or accidental spelling mistake that everyone makes and the signs of a lack of education evident in every comment you have left on this site.
Why do I bother? This has been mentioned repeatedly. But then, your inability to read and comprehend any of the other comments left on this site is just another sign of your poor education, isn't it?
"get back to the point of the site"
The point of the site is to make fun of people who do stupid things because their invisible friend tells them to do so. Have you not noticed that people are pointing at you and laughing? You hate people for thinking for themselves. You hate people for having different opinions. You hate people for believing different things. You hate people for pointing out that you are an ignorant, ill-educated sheep who will following in the footsteps of a man who breaks the law. You are what's wrong with organised religion.
You have contributed nothing to the discussion other than spouting your purportedly Principal-sanctioned stupidity, bigotry and hatred. In short, you are an idiot. Unless you have something of interest to say that isn't repetitive drivel, go away.

Who's this Ya'll person? Is it a character from Babylon 5 or something? Jeremy, your problem is not the occasional misplaced comma, spelling mistake, typo, or incorrect apostrophe. (Note: US English usage usually puts a comma between 'mistake' and 'or' there; UK English generally doesn't, unless it's very stuffy English). Your problem is that your English is consistently bad. You repeat the same mistakes and show no willingness to learn.
So let me guess is your major in English?
English at university level is all about literature, which is pretty dull, and not at all relevant to an individual's ability to use the English language in daily life. The exams you take around age 16 are the important ones in this respect—I remember my English Language O-level. I was tested on my grammar and spelling through a series of practical comprehension and composition exercises. The latter involved both fiction and argument/discussion (write a letter to the newspaper on a specified controversial topic putting forward your position). I got an A, thanks to the excellent and pedantic English teaching at the school I attended.
Beyond that? Well, I was also pretty good at every other subject except English Literature, which bored me shitless. Take my advice—when you learn to read, don't bother with Thomas Hardy. His novels are all over-emotional, melodramatic shite. The First World War Poets suck massively, too. Arthur Miller's The Crucible and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four, on the other hand, are well-written, captivating and remain relevent today. But I digress. You want to know what I did at University? Well, I have a B.Sc. (a science degree), with honours in Archæology (so I had to write lots of essays), from a university which marked students down for poor English (unless they were dyslexic, and alternative arrangements were made to assess such students anyway), much to the chargrin of the Department of Applied Social Studies (a laughing stock).
"get back to the point of the site"
As Red Wolf has pointed out, the purpose of this site is to mock the superstitiously insane—people such as yourself. As the thread for mocking you has been fixed, please go back there unless you have something worthwhile to say about The Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoon Contest.

You think you're very funny don't you?

Jeremy, not being Jewish, I was not able to enter the Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoons Contest, so I can't take any credit for the humourous illustrations. Unless, of course, you are continuing to post comments to an inappropriate entry. Let me help you, seeing as you have been unable to work it out for yourself. Once this comment has been posted, I'm going to close comments on this entry. Red Wolf, being a darling, fixed the problem which stopped you being able to comment in the appropriate place several days ago, so go back there. If you continue to have problems, do let us know, and one of us will make a new entry entitled "Jeremy A. Holloway is a fuckwit", or something like that, so that you have an appropriate forum for your comments.
