The Monkey and Eili Yishai

Di you think Russia has become Baalei teshuva? That they repented? We have lived with this kind of incitement from the days of the Czars, the Pogroms, Lenin's Bolsheviks,Stalin's purges, the GPU, NKVD, etc. Nothing changes just faces

I think it's pure backwardness - lets not forget Russia lived behind an iron curtain - they are primitive and backward and have clearly not been brought up to date on what is acceptable and what isn’t. They probably don’t care anyway.

ignorance and bad taste- Russian style-

Dont insult monkeys!

People need to get over it !!! Geeezz!!!! If it were a Christian wedding----would the Christians get all worked up over it ??? If it were a skit depicting ANY other ethnic group---no one would say squat !!!

in the world? making fun of someone else customs as a circus act. simple because it's jewish and they find other people faith funny.

Because that would be racist. Do liberals even believe Jews are humans?

Clearly targeted at an audience whose IQ is probably close to that of the performing monkeys, it would be difficult to have these primates perform as drunken, corrupt and lazy fools, which would probably hit a little too close to home for this lot.

would you also brave enough to publish your email address and name? Please! Thank you.

DARE YOU. RUSSIA IS GOING TO HELL IN AN ANTI SEMITIC HAND BASKET. SHE CAN'T AFFORD TO FEED HER OWN BUT, HEY! DISPLAY YOUR IGNORANCE AT A CIRCUS. WHEN WAS RUSSIA NOT ANTI SEMITIC?

I find the whole thing absolutely anti-chimpitic. .

You all the analphabets out there who are happy with the stupid article, just ask this question. But you probably know the answer. Many of you won't even be alive today if not for Jonas Salk (ask someone who he was)

Bad taste, I'd say so. A bit anti-Semitic? Considering Russian history, yes. But this rather tasteless display of un-political correctness pales before the really nasty anti-Semitic displays in the Arab & Muslim world which are filled with hate & dehumanization. All things considered, we don't have to be so thin-skinned.

Then why not also do a monkey version of a MUSLIM wedding? Want to start a betting pool on how many performances before the tent is burned down and the monkeys beheaded?

the more they stay the same.

country's mental patient such as yourself.

instead of monkeys, everyone would have laughed and thought it was adorable. However, given that chimps and monkeys are often used as metaphors for dehumanizing ethnic groups like blacks and Jews, I can see why people would be offended. I for one am not offended and in fact I think it's hilarious, even though it is bad taste. Only uptight Jews eschew comedy with bad taste. Mel Brooks is the king of bad taste when it comes to ethnic jokes, and Jews seem to have no problem laughing at those jokes. Let's lighten up a bit, folks.

It's the context that makes it obnoxious, the fact that this is in Russia, known for being a rather anti-Semitic country. Had this same act been done here in Israel, we might have all had a good laugh.

they will peacfully laugh like they always do, muslems r known for good spirit.

Those who have directly experienced anti-semitism will be very offended. Those who haven't will think it is just bad taste. Others think it's funny because they simply don't care if anti-semites hate them and refuse to be embarassed for their Jewishness, prefering instead to see the anti-semites themselves as the ones who are primitive and sub-human.

each other. Christian way. That was never considered to be an insult towards Christians. I see no difference towards the Jewish themes. Note also that only the people getting married are the monkeys. In my opinion the claim is too far fetched.

Sorry, my email is: valery.pepper@gmail.com Waiting for your details now.

If it were an "Arab wedding" you would have a smile that is 4-foot wide on your face.

as Muslims? pity

But to make fun of other people is - if not outright anti-Semitism (in this case) - in extremely bad taste. And I thought that the Russians had class!

a moslem wedding.
