Yes.
(Actually, I thought the stereotype was of the JAP - a prissy, spoiled, stuck-up, frigid bitch. Jewish men were supposed to be the randy ones, no?)
Yes.

I thought the stereotype JAP was prissy, spoiled, stuck-up, but slutty, not frigid

I love how Wikipedia has everything: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish-American_princess
Notably:
The stereotype, as described in these sources, is over-indulged by her parents with attention and money, resulting in the princess having both unrealistic expectations and guilt, and skill in the manipulation of guilt in others, resulting in a deficient love life.[4] The stereotype has been described as "a sexually repressive, self-centered, materialistic and lazy female,"[8] who is "spoiled, overly-concerned with appearance, and indifferent to sex", with the latter her most notable trait.
Haha, gotta love that. That's not how my north-american jewish ex gf described them to me, but I suppose Wikipedia has more sources
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
You asked this question without sharing that you had first-hand knowledge?!
She was pretty much the opposite of a crazy, nasty slut, though! And not a JAP
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
I think the JAP stereotype works in some areas of New York, but it become far less relevant the farther from NYC you get. Yes, the SYs in Deal may often fit the bill of a JAP (not to mention some women I've met from Long Island), but if you find some Jewish girl in Pittsburgh she's not that likely to fit the stereotype. They tend more to resemble some vague white suburban girl type instead. (My wife shares more in common with her secular schoolmates who grew up in the same pricy area of Dallas than some Jewish stereotype, and my experiences in college seem to indicate this is pretty standard.)
Regardless, they're just people all the same - some are spoiled brats (or nasty sluts), some are wonderful people who are worth the effort to get acquainted with.
What, jews are people now?
Of course they are, but stereotypes can be fun to joke about
Yep, just like:
What do Gay Horses eat?
HAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Maybe this will solve the persistent rumors in Israel that Arafat was HIV positive. Though doubtful anything productive will come out of this, besides some Ziorumors.
I have two contributions.
******Hanin Zoabi, a [Israeli] Parliament member from Nazareth, called the proposal to expand [army/national] service “a trap.”
“In order for us to get our natural right, we have to be loyal to the country,” she said in an interview. “They are talking about dividing the burden. All the country’s burdens are on my back. Six million Jews are living on my land. We ask Israel to withdraw the definition of a Jewish state, and maybe then it will turn into a democratic country.”

Beneath a Ranting Elmo’s Mask, a Man With a Disturbing Past
By MICHAEL WILSON
The man in the red Elmo costume was back to work in Central Park on Tuesday, but under the mask, he was not smiling. He was behind in tips he earns by posing for photographs with tourists. He said he had gotten a late start because he was not released from a psychiatric evaluation at a nearby hospital until midmorning.
“The police asked me not to come here today,” the man said Tuesday. “I’m sort of sneaking back in.”
The man, who said his legal name, if not an original one, is Adam Sandler, was handcuffed by the police and escorted from the park on Sunday afternoon after he was heard — and videotaped, by an English tourist — shouting anti-Semitic remarks outside the Central Park Zoo.
The police put him into an ambulance bound for Metropolitan Hospital Center, but he was not arrested. The video spread quickly on the Internet, bringing out the dark humor, to some, of a cuddly children’s character engaging in a violent-sounding rant. Others thought it was just plain scary.
On Tuesday, Mr. Sandler, 48, of Ashland, Ore., removed his Elmo head from atop his own and tried to explain himself.
He said the doctors at Metropolitan told him he was “a little paranoid.” It was obvious from talking to him that he is troubled. But he told a lucid and detailed account of his life, and he told of his own dark past, one that might alarm parents whose children have posed with him. The tale he told underscored just how little is known about the men and women who dress as various children’s characters in tourist-clogged areas, looking for small tips. This tiny industry is unregulated.
Mr. Sandler said he has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon, which the university confirmed. He later traveled to Cambodia and started a pornographic Web site called “Welcome to the Rape Camp.”
“I had a sex scandal,” he said.
An online search yielded news accounts of the site, like a 1999 article by The Associated Press that identified Mr. Sandler by his original name. The Cambodian police arrested Mr. Sandler that year and quickly deported him, according to news media accounts and Mr. Sandler. He insisted the women on the site were not harmed and were paid $20 per performance.
On Tuesday, he said the notoriety from the Rape Camp case led him to change his first name to Adam, and he asked that the original name not be included in this article. “I did run a porn site in Cambodia,” he said.
The site was the subject of an article in 2000 in the Journal of Sexual Aggression, titled, “ ‘Welcome to the Rape Camp’: Sexual Exploitation and the Internet in Cambodia,” by Donna M. Hughes, a professor at the University of Rhode Island.
Contacted on Wednesday, Ms. Hughes remembered the article and Mr. Sandler well. She said that after the article was published, she received several e-mail and voice mail messages from a man identifying himself as Mr. Sandler.
“I was the man who produced the rapecamp site,” the first e-mail began.
The messages were chilling. She forwarded several to The New York Times.
In one message, the man said he had had sex with a number of young girls in exchange for money in Cambodia.
It was impossible to confirm on Wednesday whether it was Mr. Sandler who sent the e-mails. He was not in Central Park at his usual place and time on Wednesday and did not return calls to his cellphone.
Ms. Hughes said on Wednesday that she forwarded his e-mails to Customs officials. An official with the United States Customs and Border Protection agency said on Wednesday that any records of that exchange would have been archived and are not readily available.
Mr. Sandler said he went on to work at the New York office of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. The organization’s headquarters, where he was recognized by staff members who saw news accounts of the Elmo incident Sunday, said he had not been an employee, but had worked there from a temp agency.
But he lost that job. Then he had an idea.
“I saw how these Elmo guys were working in Times Square,” he said. These individuals are not sanctioned by the Sesame Street Workshop, the nonprofit group that produces “Sesame Street,” “and we do not condone unauthorized representations of our characters,” a statement released Monday said.
Mr. Sandler bought an Elmo costume online for $300, he said, and when he started wearing it in April, he found it quickly paid for itself. Just Saturday, he said, he made $200.
He moved to Central Park when he felt Times Square was too saturated with Elmos.
At least two other outbursts in his Elmo costume have made it to the Internet. In one of them, he uses obscenities that send children running to their mothers. Mr. Sandler said the true number of his outbursts, as Elmo, was closer to 15. The police said he had no record of arrests. In none of the videos was Mr. Sandler physically abusive. It is unclear whether his rants as Elmo are illegal.
After Sunday’s episode, he said doctors interviewed him at the hospital. “Obviously, they saw I was not a threat to myself or anybody,” he said. “I got some good sleep.” He generally sleeps outdoors in parks, he said.
He sees no bearing on his role as Elmo from his past work on a pornographic site. “It’s not illegal,” he said, pointing to other people’s sex scandals.
On Tuesday, a mother approached the costumed Mr. Sandler, pushing a sleeping toddler in a stroller. “Will you be here tomorrow?” she asked. “She loves Elmo.”

Sorry, more:
Amb. Bashar Jaafari, representative of Syria's Assad regime—busy killing its people by the thousands—addressing the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty, July 9 in New York:
Israel is involved at an international level in the area of illicit trafficking of weapons which then encourages international terrorism and protects drug trafficking groups and independence movements around the world. . . . Traders of Israeli diamonds exploit trades in diamonds in Africa and in other regions of the world in order to be involved in shady deals, to foment internal and domestic troubles within some states all the while financing these activities and being involved in armed conflict and pursuing trafficking of weapons and human organs—all of which exacerbates conflicts and is a threat to peace and stability in Africa.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...206749930.html
To be fair, Israel does have some fishy arms deals in its past, and conflict diamonds are an issue for the industry as a whole. But it's a bit of a case of pots and kettles, eh?
Fair. And yes.
I was just hoping the guy would at least be original and pick someone else.
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2012...battle.html?hpThe documentary, aired late last week on private and state-run Egyptian TV stations, also plays heavily on widespread anti-Israel sentiment among Egyptians, saying the agency has protected Egypt from plots by Israel and its Western allies. It shows footage from World War II, including images of Jews interned in Nazi camps, and says that Jews plotted for "a nation created on the land of Palestine."

I don't think you need to work in that area to realize that. Isn't the guy banned from the US already anyway? Can't be news he's a nut.

Oh, it's not news, it's just that it makes my friends' jobs that much harder - even when the government openly and nearly universally denounces the move, his actions grabbed headlines.
He's pretty much the only Kahanist to get to the Knesset, but it's a shame that even one has made it there - Israel normally is pretty tolerant of dissenting political views, but they were 100% right in outlawing Kach.
Not sure why Memri (the original host) seems to have taken this down, but...
Live on Candid Camera! I can't tell if I should be amused or bothered that the show hosts found it funny to trick their guests into thinking they were on Israeli TV. One of the guys punched a woman in the face.

That's awesome. I mean, I guess it's not that crazy for a candid camera premise - after all, what if you tricked a Sarah Palin type into being interviewed by al-Jazeera? She wouldn't be happy. But the violence, well, that's obviously down to Zionuttery. I do love the bit at the end of the first clip where the guy sexually harasses the interviewer he just assaulted.
On the other side of the equation, it looks like the NYTimes let the Yesha council troll on the editorial page.
Israel’s Settlers Are Here to Stay
By DANI DAYAN
Published: July 25, 2012
Maale Shomron, West Bank
WHATEVER word you use to describe Israel’s 1967 acquisition of Judea and Samaria — commonly referred to as the West Bank in these pages — will not change the historical facts. Arabs called for Israel’s annihilation in 1967, and Israel legitimately seized the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria in self-defense. Israel’s moral claim to these territories, and the right of Israelis to call them home today, is therefore unassailable. Giving up this land in the name of a hallowed two-state solution would mean rewarding those who’ve historically sought to destroy Israel, a manifestly immoral outcome.
Of course, just because a policy is morally justified doesn’t mean it’s wise. However, our four-decade-long settlement endeavor is both. The insertion of an independent Palestinian state between Israel and Jordan would be a recipe for disaster.
The influx of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and elsewhere would convert the new state into a hotbed of extremism. And any peace agreement would collapse the moment Hamas inevitably took power by ballot or by gun. Israel would then be forced to recapture the area, only to find a much larger Arab population living there.
Moreover, the Palestinians have repeatedly refused to implement a negotiated two-state solution. The American government and its European allies should abandon this failed formula once and for all and accept that the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria are not going anywhere.
On the contrary, we aim to expand the existing Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, and create new ones. This is not — as it is often portrayed — a theological adventure but is rather a combination of inalienable rights and realpolitik.
Even now, and despite the severe constraints imposed by international pressure, more than 350,000 Israelis live in Judea and Samaria. With an annual growth rate of 5 percent, we can expect to reach 400,000 by 2014 — and that excludes the almost 200,000 Israelis living in Jerusalem’s newer neighborhoods. Taking Jerusalem into account, about 1 in every 10 Israeli Jews resides beyond the 1967 border. Approximately 160,000 Jews live in communities outside the settlement blocs that proponents of the two-state solution believe could be easily incorporated into Israel. But uprooting them would be exponentially more difficult than the evacuation of the Gaza Strip’s 8,000 settlers in 2005.
The attempts by members of the Israeli left to induce Israelis to abandon their homes in Judea and Samaria by offering them monetary compensation are pathetic. This checkbook policy has failed in the past, as it will in the future. In the areas targeted for evacuation most of us are ideologically motivated and do not live here for economic reasons. Property prices in the area are steep and settlers who want to relocate could sell their property on the free market. But they do not.
Our presence in all of Judea and Samaria — not just in the so-called settlement blocs — is an irreversible fact. Trying to stop settlement expansion is futile, and neglecting this fact in diplomatic talks will not change the reality on the ground; it only makes the negotiations more likely to fail.
Given the irreversibility of the huge Israeli civilian presence in Judea and Samaria and continuing Palestinian rejectionism, Western governments must reassess their approach to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They should acknowledge that no final-status solution is imminent. And consequently, instead of lamenting that the status quo is not sustainable, the international community should work together with the parties to improve it where possible and make it more viable.
Today, security — the ultimate precondition for everything — prevails. Neither Jews nor Palestinians are threatened by en masse eviction; the economies are thriving; a new Palestinian city, Rawabi, is being built north of Ramallah; Jewish communities are growing; checkpoints are being removed; and tourists of all nationalities are again visiting Bethlehem and Shiloh.
While the status quo is not anyone’s ideal, it is immeasurably better than any other feasible alternative. And there is room for improvement. Checkpoints are a necessity only if terror exists; otherwise, there should be full freedom of movement. And the fact that the great-grandchildren of the original Palestinian refugees still live in squalid camps after 64 years is a disgrace that should be corrected by improving their living conditions.
Yossi Beilin, a left-wing former Israeli minister, wrote a telling article a few months ago. A veteran American diplomat touring the area had told Mr. Beilin he’d left frightened because he found everyone — Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Jordan and Saudi Arabia — content with the current situation. Mr. Beilin finds this widespread satisfaction disturbing, too.
I think it is wonderful news. If the international community relinquished its vain attempts to attain the unattainable two-state solution, and replaced them with intense efforts to improve and maintain the current reality on the ground, it would be even better. The settlements of Judea and Samaria are not the problem — they are part of the solution.
Dani Dayan is the chairman of the Yesha Council of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria.
I find it remarkable that both the extreme left an the extreme right in Israel agree on anything, but it's remarkable how they both arrive at the one state 'solution' from entirely different starting points.
It's not like he just found a bible and tore it up, it was sent to him by missionaries, presumably to say 'hey, you need to check out this book: it says you're the wrong religion' or to make some other similarly obnoxious statement. I don't blame him for being irritated.
The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun
Irritated, sure. I'd be irritated as well. Publicly desecrating the holy book of another religion? That's another story entirely.
In related news, some teenage girls (settlers) are suspected of tearing up some Korans at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron. Fun times!
