#2 I thought it was the will of Allan.

Do you mean the Jewish Lobby and Allan are one of the same?

#3 For those of you who tend to forget what a walking Godwin Effect Hamas is, Hamas provides a reminder.

What is that, auto-Godwinizing?

#4 Out of left field, It hit me totally by surprise. I don't know why, everyone knows jews are the root of all that is evil and stinky in this world. There's just one thing they don't explain: How does Israel profit from this turmoil???

#5 The "Jews are to blame for it" meme is only one of the Islamic world themes on this crisis. Another is "This shows Allah is against capitalism and credit".

#6 If Nancy Pelosi could get them to modify that to "Republican Jewish Lobby" they'd have a unified platform to speak from. Same style, same substance.

#7 I should have mentioned that the "this proves Islamic banking is best" meme is probably not going to work well in the Islamic world because the big banking companies in the Islamic world took basically the same major hits as did the banking companies in the non Islamic world.

And Sharia banking companies were, as I understand it, hit similarly (notwithstanding the 'no interest' boilerplate they just call it something else).

#8 Sun-tzu's maxim about knowing your enemy and knowing oneself is always applicable. Encourage your enemy (Hamas) to be as wiggy crazy as possible. If they can be induced to have delusions and see a screws within screws reality, all the better for us.

A nutjob is not going to be a calculated planner or a determined executor of any realistically effective strategy. He will be erratic as booga hell and blunder into the open just waiting to howl with a cement bag headed for the end of the pier.

Wave at him and let him have all the rope he needs.

#9 Enlightening indeed. Someone should write a thesis, a book for...the volk. Possibly title it, My Their Struggle, or My Their Battle.

#12 As an example of the problems in the Islamic world, the Arab Banking Corporation has lost about 50% of its value in the past year.
