Yuyutsu,

I don't see myself as a Catholic librarian.

There's more dimensions to me - and besides
my persona changes depending on my mood (smile).

I've found this to also be true with quite many
people.

I don't like pigeon holes. Or putting people into
them. Or assigning labels.

We should be treated as individuals. Not as stereotypes.

Yuyutsu,

Talking about religion?

Here's a few light-hearted jokes:

Need an ark?

I Noah a guy.

Dear Foxy,

Thanks for the jokes!!

Just as you do not see yourself as a "Catholic Librarian",
and exactly as you said, there are so many more dimensions to you,
Israelis too do not like being reminded day in and night out that they are also Jewish.
In fact, not all of them even are.
In fact, even among those who are, many do not take it seriously.

"Jews" in Israel, often has the connotation of passive victims, sheep to the slaughter, who only expect God to help them and therefore fail to help themselves.

An American, a Frenchman and an Israeli were caught in the African jungle by a cannibal tribe.

"Before we eat you", said the cannibals, "we have a custom of allowing you a last wish".

- "I like to eat a big steak", said the American.
His wish was granted.

- "I like my frog pie and a bit of time with this beautiful woman over there", said the French.
His wishes were granted.

- "I like you to take out a big stick and beat me on my backside", said the Israeli.

"How strange, we never got any such request before, are you very sure that this is what you want?", asked the cannibals.
- "Absolutely sure", said the Israeli.

So they took out a big stick and started beating him.

Then the Israeli revealed a hidden Uzi gun and shot down the cannibals.

Confused, the American and the Frenchman asked, "If you had that Uzi all along, why did you wait till now?"

"So that nobody can accuse me of being the aggressor", replied the Israeli.

Yuyutsu,

The love of my life was an Israeli.

Jewish people have been part of my life for as
long as I can remember.

Thank you for the joke. Humour has always been part
of the Jewish psyche. There's so many classics.

Three Jewish mothers are sitting on a park bench arguing
which one's son loves her the most.

The first one say - "You know, my son sends me flowers every
Shabbos."

"You call that love? " says the second mother.
"My son calls me every day!"

"That's nothing," says the third woman.

"My son is in therapy five days a week. And the whole time he talks about me.

"We condemn the unacceptable violence by extremists in the West Bank.
We agree that the cycle of violence needs to be broken.
A two-state solution is the only way to achieve peace."

Dear Critic,

I am utterly horrified and disgusted by the actions of these Jewish extremists in the West Bank. I have no better words to describe them - they are Nazis as they treat the local Arabs exactly as the Nazi Germans treated the Jews, they are Israel's worst enemies and deserve to be handed to their friends from the Hamas for a "special treatment".

That American filth does not represent Israel, and certainly not my family there: they are not true Israelis nor true Zionists, but bring undeserved shame on both Israel and Zionism.

As their representatives in the Knesset presently push for a law to allow the death penalty for terrorists, they are the first to whom that law must apply, then have their bodies cut to pieces and sent back to Brooklyn where they came from!

In contrast, see who are Israel's most loyal citizens:
