Jews should get offended
If there’s one thing the Palestinians are great at, it’s saying no. For years now, many peace-loving Jewish heads have been bruised from banging against the brick wall of Palestinian rejectionism.
NSA and JEW
If you ever needed a sign that Jews feel fully integrated and accepted by society, consider this: Not one major Jewish group made a peep over the revelations of National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance.

Forget waiting for Saturday: Australian man claims to be Second Coming of Jesus
Posted by Brad A. Greenberg

Harold Camping is convinced that Jesus will return this Saturday. Most Americans agree that he “can’t be serious,” even though he is. But an Australian man claims that Jesus has already returned.
As Alan John Miller.
His partner, Mary Suzanne Luck, claims she is the second coming of Mary Magdalene, though I did not know her return had been foretold.
Here’s the story from AOL.com:
“Just a little over 2000 years ago, we arrived on the Earth for the first time,” Miller says on his website. “Because of my personal desire and passion for God, as I grew, I recognized not only that I was the Messiah that was foretold by ancient prophets, but also that I was in a process designed by God that all humans could follow, if they so desired.”
Miller, 47, and Luck, 32, have drawn in between 30 and 40 disciples since moving to the Wilkesdale region of Queensland in 2007, the Courier Mail reports.
“I don’t want to be Jesus. Who wants to be Jesus?” Miller told his followers. “But I love the divine truth.”
