it's machloket not machlochet.

Very funny Ray! :) I think all of us have people we dont get along with. My wife sets 2 chairs aside at pesah too: one for Eliyahu and one for my mother in law She eventually comes after a lot of huffing and puffing from my wife. Funny but for years I thought it was me. You see it turns out she doesnt like my wifes cooking. Rather she says that than me (my wife has a very short temper) Israeli food and Palestinian food is pretty similar: we stole some of your recipies, you stole some of ours. Maybe one day us Israelis and our Palestinian neighbours can sit and eat together. The recipies are the same anyway so itll be just like home. Shalom

Don't feel bad. Jackie is a real racist. He probably likes Palestinians more than "schwartzes," a regular subject of his "humor." He isn't funny. You are. Keep it up. We Jews have been laughing about out tzores for 5000 years. Hopefully your people won't have to be funny for that long!

You bombed her worse then hamas!! Get a better writer!! or better yet go to Islamic law for bad jokes.!

Ray's article is very funny (I haven't seen his show here in Australia, so I can't comment on it). But, Marc Rosen from "Mew York", Jackie Mason is the funniest man alive! He makes fun of everyone, no matter who they are - WASP, schwarz, hispanic, Jew, Arab, Asian. That is the nature of comedy (Eddie Murphy - a schwarzer! - made even more "racist" jokes about others when he was at his stand-up peak). I think some people seriously need to develop a sense of humour. And, by the way, schwarz is not a derogatory term - it literally means "black".

Hey Duv I have to change my last joke now. "My wife sets three chairs ... one from Elijah, one for Mason and one for my mother-in-law ... we're hoping Elijah comes first." That's a killer line :) I'll make sure to give you credit when "Robert Goldman" in New York helps me publish my new comedy book :) Ray Hanania

thank your Dr. for not upping your prozac. and then thank every other hack like yourself that you stole the material from. get a clue. you point fingers yet you never get on target., need we bring up Damour as what I'm talking about? Hell son you should be more critical of your Moslem brothers for the atrocoties against the Arab Christians in the ME then anyone else. But Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

wow Ray and I thought you knew how to read!! look at the city and country line in the talk back. now back on the short bus.

You are boorish. Go someplace else and get attention and leave Hananiah alone. I like his columns. It's like TV. You don't like a show, turn it off and move on. Don't stew in your own hate. Ray, ignore this mope! Florida or New York, who cares? Keep up the writing. AH

Listen Robert, I have to tell you, you need to relax a little. Hes telling a few jokes and you get wound up? Relax! Like Aaron says if you dont like it dont read it, but complaining everytime isnt going to change it. Its like a product at a supermarket: if you dont like it, switch to something else. There are plenty people who do like it. What do you want him to do when he makes a few jokes? Be all inclusive and rip off everybody,muslim, christian, jewish, hindu blah blah, all at the same time? Hes good but I dont think anybodys THAT good. Give the man a break Maybe you need to think about moving out of DelBocavista and getting some fresh air eh? You never know, the fresh air could do a very good job of unblocking your ears and opening your mind. Anyway, Florida is a little off the map dont you think? I dont think anyone really knows where that is. Well, except for the entire retired population of the US and working poulation of cuba and puerto rico.

I don't get it. Was this article supposed to be funny? I mean it's just a bunch of terribly corny, tired one-liners and puns. Didn't anyone ever tell this writer that when you have to a explain a joke, it's not very funny. "I replied: I didn’t know any of the hijackers were from Chicago, ...where I was born." Yeah, we figured that last part out, but thanks for killing your own joke buddy. I think it's true that the humor is all in the delivery -- I hope this guy delivers his material better on stage than he does on the internet.
