2. LGF Is the place to be
David ,   Israel   (05.02.06)
I really advise all Jews and pro Israelis, to go and visit this site http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com see you there
3. Blasphemy to have G-d's name on someone's breast
(05.02.06)
These secular idiots preach hatred of the religious, its horrible
4. to no. 3
Nachman Maryuma ,   Ashdod   (05.02.06)
I disagree. I think it is far more blasphemous not to have a sense of humor for crying out loud. As far as Hashem’s name on a T shirt – isn’t any advertising good advertising?
5. You idiot, the point of hashem is that it isn't God's name.

6. LGF's owner, Charles Johnson, isn't Jewish
Dani ,   Tel Aviv   (05.02.06)
I wish that all Jews were at least as pro-Israel and intelligent as he is.
7. many voices on one site
Esther Kustanowitz ,   NYC   (05.02.06)
One of the great things about Jewlicious is the variety of voices that the site presents--we hail from all religious, social, and educational perspectives, and often disagree...even vociferously. But we try to maintain a balance of opinions and perspectives, presented with humor and a splash of irreverence. And obviously, I think a site like that is worth reading (and writing for).
8. #6 He may not be Jewish, but he sure acts like a Maccabee
(05.02.06)
The site doesnt offer 24/7 open registration but it ususally opens at 7-12 EST, join the discussions, its really fun and they support Israel and the Holy Land to the max and they truly spit on any Israeli enemy. If you are a conservative or a Israeli supporter or even an American patriot or even a person who believes in the war on terror, then do check it out http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com
9. Little Green Footballs?
ck ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.02.06)
The real pro Israeli blog? Well... some would take issue with that. While I regularly read LGF, I am often aghast at some of the comments - does one have to be racist and xenophobic to be pro-Israel? Jewlicious says NO.
10. We do not preach hatred
ck ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.02.06)
And we're not all secular. A few of us keep kosher and are shomer shabat and identify as Orthodox. One of us is a hassidic Rabbi. G_d's name is not Hashem. You can't write G_d's name on anything unless you are willing to bury it when it is no longer useful. Hashem is what we religious Jews use instead of G_d's name. Don't believe me? Go ahead and ask your Rabbi.
11. #10 If someone is trying to kill you, and you try to defend
(05.02.06)
yourself is that hatred, what your problem is your blinding yourself from the truth that there is a people since their start of their cult have brought death and oppression on everyone. Maybe its because you never lived under Arab rule like Sephardics do and dont know the pain that they never want Arabs to rule over them again. Kahane Chai
12. #9 Are you ready to fight them or will you shake their hands
(05.02.06)
like Arafat. We support a true Jewish state not what Herzl preached who wanted a Jewish state in Uganda, we will reclaim what is ours in the end, and Amalek will be destroyed. Know thy Enemy http://www.faithfreedom.org http://www.prophetofdoom.us Have you even read parts of the Koran or even lines, do you know they read that we are pigs and rats, Moe raped Jewish villages and had sex with a 8 year old. Its all in their koran hadith and those that dont understand they will never accept our state and that we should never appease an enemy that chooses to destroy us, than you will be destroyed with them in the end.
13. Whats next the Almighty's name on underwear?
(05.02.06)
and I call myself a Hebrew an Israelite. Being "orthodox" doesnt make someone right, do they believe in the Third Temple, in Geula, in the removal of Arabs? If not, then they are not following the Torah/Talmud
14. Forget LGF, Jewliciousers better looking!
Jewlicious Reader ,   California   (05.02.06)
What's this business about being in competition with LGF? Who cares about LGF? Jewlicious has some fine looking contributors, and when they're having a bad hair day, Abitbol provides images of Israeli hotties. What more can one ask for in a blog? Hotties, torah, heated debates, making fun of terrorists, excellent political analysis and good looking Jews. :lol:
15. LGF is a one-note blog
Stuart ,   Chicago   (05.02.06)
LGF's heart is in the right place when it comes to Israel, but reading it is like drinking Turkish coffee with an espresso chaser: it's just too intense as a regular thing to do. Johnson's view of the world is "what I like=good, what I don't like=evil", with good defined as Israel, President Bush, the US presence in Iraq, and sidebars for biking and California beaches, and evil being more or less everything else. Follow that with 200+ comments that amount to "kill them all and let G_d sort em out", and it's gets boring very quickly. At least it's got marginally more variety than, say, Jihad Watch -- although I'd wager that Robert Spencer's a bit more eloquent . However, you do have to give Johnson credit for hosting other blogs that show life in Israel with a more nuanced view of reality (but still staunchly Zionist), and coming up with great concepts like "Arafish" and "Idiotarian of the Year".
16. to # 11 and #10
theKD80 ,   LA LA land, USA   (05.02.06)
Yeah, ya hear that CK, you have NO idea what the Sephardi's went through
17. #14 - What's Abitbol's URL?
Hello ,   Los Angeles   (05.02.06)
Is it a dating site? Ha Ha, Ha, Ha...
18. Abitbol's URL?
Good Looking ,   Jewlicious   (05.03.06)
www.jewlicious.com
19. LGF is pro-Israel like a Christian Zionist
Saul   (05.03.06)
Beware Jews. Charles Johnson is fundamentally a creep. (e.g. He glorifies the Crusades, while minimizing the number of Jews killed by Christians.)
20. #19 I agree with you 100%, but we can still use them
(05.03.06)
until the time comes to shew them all away. He supports blindly with Israel with no regard to the settlers. LGF is only a stepping stone as always, but with the use of the ass traffic, it is much more helpful to Israel han anti-Israeli blogs (of course). We only need to use their advantage until we Jews set things right.
21. #20 LGF is for Creeps
Saul   (05.03.06)
And his site attracts all manner of bigots, and morons. His association, nay, identification, with Zionist principles is harmful to the cause anyway you cut it.
22. LGF-haters are idiots
Jenny ,   NYC   (05.03.06)
Charles Johnson is not an Evangelical Christian like Pat Robertson, and you are all idiots for saying so. He may even be an atheist (I'm not sure) but he supports Israel b/c he has his head on straight,not b/c of religious reasons. What is wrong with being Pro-America or Pro-Israel? I guess it's much cooler to wear Che Guevara T-shirts and preach about anarchy all day long. LGF is an amazing site and any true Zionist, religious or not, would love it.
23. Jenny, people who don't understand analogies are idiots
Saul   (05.03.06)
Nobody said Charles Johnson was an Envangelical. Merry Christmas!
24. What are you talking about #10??
ck ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.03.06)
My name is Abitbol - my family has been in Morocco forever. We have 1st hand intimate experience living with Arabs. What can I say? It may not have been the greatest thing in the world but at least no one threw us into ovens. As for Kahane, I knew the man. He was at my house for an oneg shabat in Montreal and I met with him several times in Jerusalem after he made aliyah. I can tell you that once he got here, it seemed something snapped in him and he struck me, a person who had long admired him and his writings, as being a little off his rocker. That's just my first hand impression, but you're free to believe whatever crap you like. Needless to say, after several disturbing chats with him, I was no longer a Kahanist.
25. Jenny
Saul   (05.03.06)
Nothing could be more representative of typical LGF stupidity than the idea that anyone who doesn't share your own opnions is a Che Guevara T-shirt wearing anarchist. Thanks Jenny.
26. We uncool blogs are jealous
Elder of Ziyon ,   Jersey City, NJ   (05.03.06)
I admit having insane jealousy. Not only does Jewlicious have tons of hits, great design and cool credentials, but articles like these make the distance between Jewlicious and the other boring JBlogs (like my http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com ) even greater. (Whew - got the plug in! )
27. Jewlicious not LGF
stop it ,   doesn't matter   (05.03.06)
Why are people even discussing LGF in an article on Jewlicious. At least on Jewlicious, people debate with each other for real, and real difference of opinion are given the time of day.
28. thesolidsurfer.com - Great conservative, pro-Israel blog
Kyle ,   USA   (05.04.06)
This site is great - www.thesolidsurfer.com Not all American Jews are liberal!
29. Please note...
ck ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.04.06)
There are many other cool Jewish blogs - take a look at our links section on the side for at least a partial list. Elder of Ziyon's latest photo-post is pretty funny... And yes comparing LGF to Jewlicious is like comparing apples and oranges. Thesolidsurfer is right, not all American Jews are liberal - only about 74%. Most of the Jewlicious crew live in Israel btw and I should also note that thesolidsurfer.com seems to be down - at least it is for me when I try to connect from Jerusalem. Oh well.
30. #29 CK Wrong statistics
Elle ,   USA   (05.05.06)
"Thesolidsurfer is right, not all American Jews are liberal - only about 74%. " Wrong. 70% of American Jews are Democrats, not liberals. There are conservative Democrats and liberal Democrats so I'm not sure how many fall into each category but your 74% is certainly incorrect.
