You’re trying to equate Judah's refusal to accept that Ashkenazi are "better" than Mizrachi with holocaust denial??? I won't even begin to say what a disgrace you are to the memory of six million JEWS. I know you want to make it seem like Hitler targeted Ashkenazi’s, but the fact is that Hitler targeted JEWS. Mizrachi are also Jews Kate. A little piece of information you may find interesting is that the Nazi's occupied Tunisia. The Nazi's started to build ovens and were going to kill the Jewish communities of Tunisia. The Jews of Tunisia lost a great deal because of the Nazi plague so stop alienating Jews Kate. The Nazi's were a threat to all Jews not just the Ashkenazi and I and the rest of normal Jewry stands united against any threat to Judaism. Funny how you pick an argument with Judah but stay clear of my positions. Is this Mizrachi (me) a little too much for you to handle queen of England? Is it humiliating to be criticized so accurately by a Mizrachi? How about you use your Ashkenazi linguistic talents and finally once and for all show me up in front of all the readers in here instead of picking back-ended conflicts. Kate this would be a good time to bow out and make your exit. Each post you write just shoves your foot farther and farther in your mouth.

For Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, last week was a tough one. And he's going to change the ground rules for the popular anyone-can-contribute encyclopedia because of it. First, in a Nov. 29 op-ed piece in USA Today, a former administrative assistant to Robert Kennedy lambasted the free online reference work for an article that suggested he may have been involved in the assassinations of both Robert F. Kennedy and John F. Kennedy. Then, on Dec. 1, a new flurry of attention came when former MTV VJ and podcasting pioneer Adam Curry was accused of anonymously editing out references to other people's seminal podcasting work in an article about the hot new digital medium. To critics of Wikipedia--which, in a spin on the open-source model, lets anyone create and edit entries--the news was further proof that the service has no accountability and no place in the world of serious information gathering.

By failing to completely understand even this very simple argument, Judah proves my point about his people just perfectly. One does have to wonder though what he does to earn his daily crust of bread, if anything. It is really sad that he cannot accept the simple reality which is understood by people the world over: namely that the Askenazi Jews are a people of genius. You think he'd be happy simply bathing in our reflected glory instead of dishonestly attempting to usurp what has never belonged to him or his people. Such is the way of the world.

Since you’re so insistent on attempting to show how your "aryan race" is so superior you truly just reflect the inferiority complex you are cursed with. Kate stop talking already, you’re making all the Ashkenazi embarassed with your Kahane rants. Why isn’t David from Jerusalem posting anymore? Because no one supports your dumb ended claims. For your sake lets entertain the notion that they do support your position. They certainly have the brains not to post such stupidity in here. The fact you can't even answer me anymore simply proves my English is far superior to yours and my arguments follow a flow of logic far too big for your little provincial European mind. When you’re ready to be a Jew Kate you let all of us know. For now you really sound no better then the Germans when they tried to claim the Jews were an inferior race. On a side note how come your English and writing skills stink so much? For a brit I truly would expect much better. Kate they really should give you a nobel award for the ability to exceed the working definition of idiocy. It takes quite a talent to define something more then it was previously define and you my “dear” lady have certainly done that. Are you sure you’re not really Ellen Prescott in disguise? The two of you have a lot in common… Why bother trying to insult Judah over the job he works when we all know your still a Zona no matter what you do? In any event I can’t wait to watch you hide away from another of my posts like you always do just like Arafat always ran away from the Israeli’s when push came to shove.

Dear Kate, To virtually everyone bar yourself you have proved your foolishness. You persist in proving it time and time again leading me to conclude that you are suffering from Ground Hog Day Syndrome. Meanwhile I am returning to reading some inferior Sephardi Literature. The Talmud (Bavali-Iraq, can't get more Mizrahi than Iraqi Jews), Mishna Torah (Rambam , Spain and Egypt can't get more Sephardi than that), The Shulchan Aruch (Rav Y Caro, Spain,Solonika,Safed, Can't get more Sephardi than that). Oh yes and the Haggada , you know the one, about those Egyptian-Mizrahi Jews that were released from slavery and bondage by the Lord himself with his humble servant that reasonably well known Egyptian-Mizrahi Jew Moshe Rabbanu leading the way. Ahh - you don't use this version of the Hagadda then? You are welcome to join me anytime.

The 'Kates' of the world are self serving indulgent children, who have no clue as to what is the 'glue' that bonds the Jewish Community. My personal thanks to S. Judah in London for reminding us what the Sephardic Jews have given us. Obviously, there are a few Jews in London and elsewhere who have been swept up in their goyisha environment and can no longer think beyond the end of their snotty noses. P.S. To Kate: I am a 5th generation Israeli, who happens to be in the USA at the moment. You presume too much, too often and know too little to offer any valid comments.

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a comprehensive Yiddish dictionary/encyclopedia? Is there an online course that teaches Yiddish?
