As a Jew reading through this thread I can relate to Mr. Foxman's resentment of Gargoyle's "facetious" position.

Non-Jews just don't really know what it feels or means to be hated for being a Jew and how hyper-sensitive Jews are to the holocaust, anti-semitism, etc. I know that non-Jews can be sympathetic and overall do not try to be hurtful, but all it takes is one misconstrued comment and the very core of a Jew's whole being can be affected.

Jews know all to well that there are those that deny the holocaust. Coming to this forum and having someone remind us just to be facetious, is really not-acceptable.

Gargoyle, if you have a Jewish girlfriend who as you say is very, very Jewish, I suggest that you dump her before she dumps you. If she is as Jewish as you say she is, your novelty will wear off as her dedication to her religion and heritage will eventually kick in. If not, there is no way she can be that observant. Just make sure you get a good bowl of motzoh ball soup before your inevitable demise.
