I’ve written before about some of the loons who leave comments on my blog. I never approve for publication any antisemitic or anti-Muslim comments.
One of the latest charmers to swing by went on a long rant about the Holocaust before suggesting that I visit my “thieving relatives in Israel” whereupon he hopes that Iran would “blow your hooked nose off”.
Someone needs to have a word and tell him what a goy is.

“Newkey-Burden” does sound like a Jewish name after all …

Goyim can have hooked noses too of course, as Jews can have tiny button noses. This stereotypical rubbish does stick with people once they are brainwashed with it from birth though!

*Shrugs* So you will call me Chaim Netan-Bibi from now on! Oy, I don’t mean to kvetch but today has been such a schlep. Anyway, enough already, I have to go – my son the doctor is drowning!

“Hooked Nose;” some mistake methinks. Let Duvid soothe your nerves and sore eyes with another stunning shot of the gorgeous Israeli soldier model Esti Ginzburg from the last thread:

and if that is not enough of Israeli fashion models just called Esti, here is the equally gorgeous Esti Mamo:

By the way I am the one who made that video to BUYcott Israel..
Oh and another question..
Chas are you a christian or a muslim or hindu …… ?

Chas Newkey-Burden
It is a play on the exasperated saying ‘oy va voy’. I am a goy, so I called my site ‘oy va goy’ as a play on words.
I’m not a Christian, Muslim or Hindu.

Speaking of my Israeli relatives, I think Ginzburg might be my future Israeli wife in another dimension…

Chas:
A person’s surname means little when it comes to determining ethnic heritage. I have a friend whose family immigrated to Ireland in the early 1800s from somewhere in eastern Europe. The family always insisted they were Catholics, but also claimed to be related to the great composer Jacques Offenbach who was Jewish. Recently, members of her family, whose surname is MacDonald, immigrated to Israel and had some old family documents translated by neighbours who could read Cyrillic and confirmed that the family was, indeed, Jewish and on both sides. Former Ontario premier Bob Rae’s paternal grandfather was named Andrew Cohen, but the children ended up bearing his Scottish Protestant grandmother’s surname instead.
As I recall, you have some eastern European heritage. Chances of you having at least some Jewish heritage a few generations back aren’t all that remote. There was far more intermarriage than going on, especially in Poland, than people realize.

Yes my mother is Latvian. Everything about that side of my family is fascinating and quite moving in parts. I’m enjoying looking into it all.

As proof of confusion over last names: There is the writer Arieh O’Sullivan who is Jewish. (He used to be military correspondent for the Jerusalem Post) And me, who everybody assumes is Jewish but is not, by law, Jewish (just Jewish-identified.)
And that’s because by Jewish law it all depends on the mother. If your mother was Jewish; you’re Jewish. If not, fuggedebodit unless she converts. In Jewish law there is no such thing as a “half Jew”; that is a goyish construct.
