Judaism is a religion NOT a race. My religion is Judaism, my race is mixed. Therefore, your remark that I am racist is hugely incorrect.

Jorge, you are the only one who thinks politicians  including Lieberman are squeaky clean and don&#039;t  take actions or pass laws that would &quot;bear consequences for their religious community&quot;.  The fact that he has worked his adult life as a bankster won&#039;t effect him either-eh?The word antisemitism has been run into the ground like an old shoe and  those who use it often practice reverse antisemitism on others which seems to be just fine.You clearly have not done your homework on Lieberman&#039;s background and like I said before, Lieberman will be doing his work for the banksters as usual. I never said bringing up religion in politics is acceptable.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jorge your comment is so full of name calling and non-facts.</p><p>#1.

Whatever Lieberman does as a politician bears no consequence on his religion and the Jewish community here. And if another politician or any other supposedly upstanding and intelligent member of society quotes a vehemently anti-Semitic book to discredit a fellow politician then that invokes racial hatred and it is a crime. Matters not your grandmother or great aunties cat was Jewish, if you agree with him then you are in turn a racist. Well done!!!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You took no offence because you are a half-wit.<br /> Whatever Lieberman does as a politician bears no consequence on his religion and the Jewish community here.

I refuse to pretend that he is not inline with Zionism and when he was first brought into Laura&#039;s fold I saw trouble coming. HIs main objective is to pull more money(via taxation)  out of the Ticos alleging it is to help them have better roads, etc. Yeah right! I took no offense to Oviedo&#039;s statement. What he should have said though is that Lieberman is working for the banksters, NOT COSTA RICA. Making Oviedo apologize is like making me apologize for wanting Israel to stop encroaching into Palestinian lands. Being Jewish does not make me think it is ok. Behind closed doors I can assure you that Lieberman habla paja about the muslims he sees here. Bet my house on it!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Excuse me but being part German Jew through my grandmother&#8217;s side, I want to remind you that Lieberman comes from the banking sector which is NOT run by Christians,eh?
