      Or, to be more blunt; shut the fuck up with this anti-semitic bullshit.

      If a person is active lobbying for Israel, or working as on behalf of that or any other terror state, that’s legitimate points of criticism. Pointing towards someone being Jewish as some ground of suspicion in its own right is dangerous bullshit of historical proportions. There’s no reason we should tolerate this shit.

        But even if they’re lobbying for Israel the criticism would not be that they’re a Jew but rather what they’re lobbying for (and the same applies to lobbyist for most countries/companies too…)

      I’m not the OC, but I definitely have a strong Christian bias when I hear that someone’s a creationist. I would almost certainly assume they were a baptist or Pentecostal if it wasn’t specified. It doesn’t matter, but it removes the potential excuse that it’s just the culture he grew up in.

      Though now I have to look up Jewish creationism to see if I was very wrong.

      Edit: it’s kind of what I suspected- there are Jewish creationists, but it’s not nearly as common, and there are a lot more options for reconciling two seemingly incompatible beliefs within the framework of Judaism.

      JE’s partner in crime Maxwell is theorized to have taken over the family business of extorting people for Israeli intelligence from her father.
