    so you retract this statement then?

    The real reason you won't define "jewishness" is because there isn't anyway way to do so that doesn't rely on stereotyping, ...

    No, because it's true.

    Can you show otherwise? Or would you prefer to continue dishonestly dancing around the question?

    I've answered the question. Listen carefully...

    It is completely irrelevant how Irish, French, Sikhs, or Eskimoes are portrayed because they have no geostrategic value to Zionists and they are have not been trying to instigate wars to destroy these peoples for hte last 20 or so years. Also they are not ethnically cleansing any of these people as we speak, whereas they are with Arabs today. Zionist Jews as a tiny numerical minority need to socially engineer and manipulate the goyim population of the worlds superpower, the US to die for them hunting camel jockeys who hate their freedom, Hollywood is just an arm of this.

    Read this
    People also use quotation marks in this way to:
    • distance the writer from the terminology in question so as not to be associated with it. For example, to indicate that a quoted word is not official terminology, or that a quoted phrase presupposes things that the author does not necessarily agree with.

    Then read my unedited post.

    Yes.
    Please list a few "charactistics of Jews"?
    Please explain how, as you originally claimed, Fagins "jewishness" has been toned down.

    Yes so therefore there would be no reason for them to portray other groups as evil etc.
    So if the Jews are trying to vilify arabs, we should see them as disproportionately portrayed as negative characters.

    So then can you please cite a few examples of positive Irish characters, since there is no motivation to vilify them.

    If your theory holds any water you should have no problem identifying more positive Irish characters than Arabs.

    (This is what we call falsification, it's what real, non-biased researchers do.)
    Zionist Jews as a tiny numerical minority need to socially engineer and manipulate the goyim population of the worlds superpower, the US to die for them hunting camel jockeys who hate their freedom, Hollywood is just an arm of this.
    So it's ok for you to portray as Jews scheming to brainwash people...
    Do you not see this as hypocritical?

    Wasn't Irish.
    From Wisconsin according to wiki.
    King Of Ireland (lol) -Braveheart, Erm, Yer man
    Haven't seen the film in ages and can't remember the character.
    Red -Shawshank Redemption, Morgan (The man) Freeman
    Not really Irish you'd agree.
    Also a criminal.
    Christy Brown -My Left foot, D D Lewis

    Veronica Guerin -Same, Cate Blanchett
    These films also contain negative Irish stereo types, Gilligan for example.
    So it cancels out.
    Jim Malone -The Untouchables, Sean Connery
    Can't fault this one.
    But as BB said.
    Matt Le Tissier scored 48/49 penalty kicks. Just because he missed one doesn't make a bad penalty kick taker, does it?

    Watch the film. Says he's Irish. A criminal who finds REDEMPTION and admits his faults. That's three.
    These films also contain negative Irish stereo types, Gilligan for example.

    The lead characters are positive and for any film to work it needs a balance of negative characters. However you only asked for positive Irish characters, not films containing ONLY positive Irish characters. Four and five.

    Six.

    And then the bad guys:

    Crying Game, probably more British though.

    Probably a few others where the Irish where the terrorists.

    Just so you know, Morgan Freeman wasn't Irish in Shawshank. His character was Irish in the book, so they put that line in as a joke, since he was obviously not Irish.

    But the point still stands. The Jews are trying to make the Irish out to be heroic in order to trick to world into ignoring the crimes against humanity that we're about to commit. Apprently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,495 ✭✭✭✭King Mob

    Nope sorry:
    After completing the script for Titanic, Cameron discovered that there had been a real "J. Dawson" who died aboard the Titanic. "J. Dawson" (Joseph Dawson) had been born September 1888 in Dublin, Ireland.
    Watch the film. Says he's Irish. A criminal who finds REDEMPTION and admits his faults. That's three.
    Still a criminal.
    The lead characters are positive and for any film to work it needs a balance of negative characters. However you only asked for positive Irish characters, not films containing ONLY positive Irish characters. Four and five.
    Gillian was a lead character, what with being the villain of the piece and all.
    Also both where partly Irish productions. So doesn't really count.
    Six.
    Two.

    I posted a much longer list of positive Arab characters
    I know you were wishing to derail this thread and am nearly embarrassed to have taken your bait but I had to point out how what you were saying had absolutley no basis.
    So BB et all are claiming that Arabs are singled out as being portrayed as negative characters, but it's some how derailing the thread to get them to back up this claim?

    Used to love reading spy novels in the 80's. Gerald Seymour, LeCarre that type of stuff. Seymour was very fond of writing about the IRA and usually was quiet sympathetic to them. He wrote one about an Arab terrorist recently. So, even he just moved on, Arabs are more likely to be portrayed as terrorists and bombers now because, well, the IRA have stopped. Same for Hollywood.

    Fagin's "Jewishness" has been toned down considerably over the years.

    In any case he was based on a real-life Jewish criminal

    It is quite simple really. You may recall that the word "Jewishness" was within quotation marks (""). What this signifies is that I don't agree with the usage of the term but it is descriptive nonetheless.

    Hope that clears it up.

    You still haven't answered the question of what his "Jewishness" is.

    Even the pictures you posted doesn't really show much change of the characters physical appearance.

    So again, which of Fagin's personality traits are from his "Jewishness"?

    But that would still imply that the Fagin characters negative traits are down to the fact he is Jewish.

    Its not your fault that you think this, Charles Dickens appeared to have a strong dislike for Jews and he can be blamed for helping spread the misconception that all Jews only think about money and power and are sneaky and evil.

    Its the same as any adjective to describe an ethnic group. Defining Irishness, Polishness, Americaness etc. All relies on some degree of stereotyping as you have to generalise when speaking about a group.

    The "jewishness" obviously referred to the stereotypical victorian Jew.

    Over time, even in Dickens' lifetime in subsuquent publishings and public readings the Fagin's Jewish stereotypically Jewish of the times traits have been lessened.

    On Topic:
    According to The Wrap, billionaire mogul Haim Saban and WME kingpin Ari Emanuel personally appealed to CBS boss Leslie Moonves to yank Stone’s 10-part documentary — A Secret History of America — from the network’s sister channel. Saban also lobbied CAA co-chief Bryan Lourd to drop Stone from the agency roster — much like Emanuel did with Mel Gibson earlier this month.

    I thought that was particularly ironic as it was a Jewish mogul complaining that Stone was wrong to say that Jewish moguls control the media, and so he decides to get his own back by using his sway to show that he can control the media and get Stone's documentary canned. Talk about an own-goal!

    So Fagin's Jewishness was stereotyping, but somehow the definition of Jewishness does not rely on stereotyping?

    Somehow?

    You do know there is a difference between being Jewish and being a Jewish stereotype right?

    Think you might be more at home at stormfront.

    Yes. I do.

    Now can you please explain how the term "jewishness" applies to someone without stereotyping?
    Think you might be more at home at stormfront.
    Again, not the one accusing the Jews of trying to brainwash the rest of the world based on the idea that they are Jewish....
    Yeah.
    You do know you accused the dictionary of stereotyping right?
    Nope I said that you can't use "Jewishness" to describe someone without stereotyping.
