Apr-23-2011 17:36TweetFollow @OregonNews Israel to Christians: Christ is a Monkey on a CrossTim King Salem-News.comShow host to monkey depicting Jesus on the cross - "You are a Nazi, Yeshu (Jesus), you are a Nazi".
(SALEM) - So, a slutty Israeli TV show features a chick in a skimpy bikini mocking Jesus Christ by showing him as a stupid looking monkey hanging on a cross. Then using the 'f' word, she proceeds to tell Jewish viewers that Christians, we 'goyam', are 'dangerous' toward Jews. From there, it gets much worse. We aren't making this up; this is Israeli television being widely viewed today. The show is called, "The History Program of Toffee the Gorilla". Anyone who advocates for this should not write a comment, instead they should consider ripping their heart out and sticking it in a jar; (it would have equal purpose and someday doctors could study it and perhaps determine what the hell is wrong with you) Host: "I came to talk about the highlights of the history of the Jewish people - from times past until today. Today we will learn about he crucifixion of Yeshu. Have you heard about Yeshu?" Monkey: "I've heard he's an honorable person" Host: "No, Yeshu was an enemy of the Jewish people. He attempted to convert us all into Christians. Although there are good Christians, to the Jew this is a terrible danger, a threat to the peace of the Jewish people". Monkey: "I want to assimilate". Host: Do you even know what it is to assimilate? It means to get fucked up with a goyah; this is something that neither me or you, obviously, want. (Later in the show, the host tells the monkey that if he really wants to understand Jesus, he would have to act out the scene. Soon the mockery of Christ goes into third gear, as she gets out a hammer and literally nails the monkey to the cross.") Monkey yells: "My God, Why have you forsaken me?" He is screaming, further mocking the agony of Jesus as he was crucified. Then she tells the Jesus Monkey. Host: "You are a Nazi, Yeshu (Jesus), you are a Nazi". So all of you who tell me how bad I am for the articles I write about Israel, let's hear your defense for this one. Come on, you guys who wrote all of that horrible shit last week about the murder of our friend Vittorio Arrigoni in Gaza, and the week before about the murder of Juliano Mer-Khamis in Jenin. Let's hear your thoughts on your comrade who decimates any hint of respect for my faith and the faith of many good people. Once again, most sadly, I am sorry for my Jewish friends who are indirectly represented by insanity like this. Just remember that it is extremely indirect. Welcome to Israel, where American tax dollars support this kind of scummy broadcast. Honestly I think we are bigger sluts than Israel on many occasions, but this one takes the cake. And by the way all you Israel fans, we have this pathetic clip of your whorish talk show host downloaded and trust me that if it goes down the Google hole, that it will spring back up all over the place, so you might as well leave it alone. Did I mention what Israel needs to really do with that monkey?

I thought of this show today out of the blue. I can't believe how fast time flies. Sadly it turns out the gorilla died in 2020 after contracting COVID. RIP brother. He's eating toblerone with Yeshu now. I don't know what became of Toffee and frankly I don't care.

This isn't for children, it is a "comedy" that parody of state owned shows in Israel a while back. This is an episode where they mock Americans as "degenerate": youtu[]be/FIWnVwGOpmE – I apologize in advance for the caps (I did not upload this video). [TOFFEE AND THE GORILLA - USA EPISODE. This is how Israeli television shows depicts and mocks Americans, they are considered degenerate, dim witted & eager to die in wars for Israel. at 1:04 notice the mocking of 9/11 using the twin towers and planes background. THIS IS YOUR 'ALLY' IS IT AMERICA ? LOTS OF SYMBOLISM AND VERBAL PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE MOCKING OF AMERICA IN THIS VIDEO, WATCH A FEW TIMES OVER AND YOU WILL NOTICE.]

Man you Israel people are such contradictions. You complain that Palestinians treat you like dogs but then you want to treat the world like dogs. You say do not mock jews and no to antisemitism but you are all in favor for bashing of Christian all the times. Not all Christians are bad you say, when you fail to realize that the Christians helped you in the war and against the Arabs. If you treat your friends like trash you will have no friends to help you. Why don't you mock Budda or some Hindu deity? And for very being very against assimilation you sure like to muck around with other cultures. Look man the bible predicted the holocaust and the bible predicts that the time of Jacobs troubles is coming. A terrible persecution will happen once more but this time it will be worse. Stop being arrogant and pay attention to what is happening. Actually read your torah and the prophets and read the new testament , it could save your life. Do not listen to the bitter artiest Jews in your country. Listen to the prophets because your people fail to hear them time and time again.

Zechariah 12:10. And all of Zechariah is all good, but 12:10 and I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of Grace and of supplications and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only son and shall be in bitterness for him as on that is in bitterness for his first born. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem. ....... So folks I still love the Jewish people in all their imperfection because know what? God has put up with their falling away and coming back over and over and He is not giving up. He is the one that made the covenant. And He has confirmed it many times, there will be a time when all this will be behind us, God is the one in charge and He will prick their hearts. Jews for Jesus has shown us their hearts were pricked , the group of 3000 in Acts had their hearts pricked. Just keep praying and don't give up. Right now Israel is the land of dry bones. When Christ returns the flesh and hearts will be put upon those bones.

Appalling but not surprising at all. Hard to expect anything much better from a people who makes a religious holiday (Passover) out of mass infanticide. I am going to send it on to a few evangelical pastors I know....friends now, but perhaps not much longer! PS: Tim, I am SO glad to see you back at Salem-News.com!!!! All the best to you & Bonnie.

What a way to say thank you, for supporting our nation, killing and bombing muslims that are threat to you, and saving you from WW-2. Imagine the outrage if someone did this kind of show about Jews that are apes in western world... makes one wonder...

"What is really horrifying is to read the Torah and realize that old Moses and his tribe did not live peacefully...."
And Christianity is based on the Torah being the word of God, so if you really have a problem with all that violence you're going to have to find a new religion Mr. Editor. Its understandable that Jews would depict Jesus in the worst way since Christianity basically took their scriptures and raped them. If a new religion did to the New Testament what Christianity did to the "Old Testament" and became the new big world religion and took over, I'll bet you'd be making their leader out to be a monkey too.
Well that is an interesting review, I have to give you that. So let's do away with all of them what do you say? And here I thought the Second Testament was the Christian book... And I suppose you would perfectly justify Christians making a low end mockery of the Judaic faith?
Anonymous September 14, 2012 1:06 pm (Pacific time)
I find it interesting that the Jewish Religion, which has is interpreted to call goys nothing but "animals", is not called racist...
Editor: I reserve comment on this, I have read sections of the Torah that clearly back up what you are saying. Sadly it is not the only one!
Ruvy Kossover September 14, 2012 2:47 am (Pacific time)
This is a pretty bad satire and it deserved to get pulled. But it reveals a fundamental truth that none of you Jew-hating and Israel-hating bastards can hide from.
FOR 1,800 YEARS WE TOOK SHIT FROM YOU GOYISHER BASTARDS - ENDING FINALLY WITH AN ATTEMPT AT A FINAL SOLUTION TO MURDER US ALL OFF. SO,WE HAVE ONLY CONTEMPT FOR YOU - AND YOU DESERVE THAT CONTEMPT. YOU'VE EARNED IT. GO TO HELL!
Editor: Ruvy,, I will send flowers on your 1900th birthday, drop me your address. I will never have the experience you have had, suffering all of those hundreds of years, and while you are so damned old! I love it, my ancestors were killed too, they suffered also, what do I get? Do I get to maybe come take your home? Wait, I want to get a dozer first and take down a bunch of homes so my people can build a 'settlement'. There is a book that says I'm chosen, I'm sure, somewhere....
What is really horrifying is to read the Torah and realize that old Moses and his tribe did not live peacefully, they pillaged and ransacked villages and murdered the inhabitants, some version of slavery that is. Now African-Americans, they were enslaved. What is their bonus? Whose homes can they take to build settlements? Really, the idiocy that accompanies your version of Judaism is really a sad deal, I am glad there are so many great Jewish people who aren't part of that system. And remember there are lots and lots of non-zionist Jews, they are among the brightest and greatest people who have ever lived. As for you.....
IDC February 16, 2012 6:26 am (Pacific time)
its amazing how you took out of content things that i said.
you made a all story about me from thin air.
i was "combat" medic that means i was allways at the front lines.
i took care of any injured person i saw, if it was a soilder friend of mine who got shot or enemy that got shot after he shot my friend or tried to shot me.
the reson i joined the army was beause i wanted to make a difference and the "better" people you refered are just cowrads.
its easy to sit in a "jail" and talk big, but its hard to make a difference out there.
i agree there is needless suffring and death from the IDF, but the most in history?
what history books you got at home.
i have no idea what did you mean by:
"Now, you tell me you feel like a kid with anger, that betrays quite a bit doesn't it? Does it make you want to take out your Uzi and start spraying little Palestinian kids brave medic?"
im angry kid? spraying kids with uzi? what are you talking about.
about that show, where did you see by my text that im fine with the show offending christianity? why are making stuff about me again?
that show was awful, it made horrible "fun" on muslims jews, christians and they degraded women.
and the worest part of it,
it wasnt funny at all.
i didnt like your remarked about me being dense part.
please, try not to declare a statement on someone you dont know.
i agree there are many dense in israel about israel\palestine conflict.
but dont please feel free do declare a statement like that.
waiting for reply, take care.
Tim King: Well what can I say? You are unable to disengage from a nationalist spirit, you don't seem willing to look at it with your own eyes, only those of your political representative. That is no different from most human beings and I'm sure your intentions are good, however I don't believe you see the big picture, not at all. All I can see is tht you are not going to own up to what Israel is responsible for, do you have any idea how many people in Israel turned away from Zionism after serving in the IDF? Your leaders have done terrible things for 63 years and somehow they and you believe you are entitled to have committed so many acts of violence and war. It is your responsibility as a human being to examine the policies you have fought for. Just remember this began with your trying to excuse a terrible and sick TV show that represents Israel- one that shows what your people really think of mine, you know?
IDC February 14, 2012 12:32 pm (Pacific time)
i dont know what is more sad, the show or you. this show is a lame attempt to be a parody event show. its was cancelled not because of the content. it was cancelled because it had very low humor. its very sad that you take this piece of shit of a show and make it so seriously. im israeli jew that served the IDF as a medic. my job was to give treatment to ANY injured human being. i love peace and i hate vilonce conflicts. Sir, i have been reading many of you articles and i found them very intresting regardless the parnoids marks you point. i like it when you see the possibilities on each topic. but when i started to read this article i lost all my fate on this site. you poste an article without investigate anything. it felt like a kid with anger issues wrote this article. its a stupid show that no one pissed on it, the show was on 2 or 3 am and on a comdy channel that also was cancelled because of lack of viewrs. i had fate that maybe this site shows a content that im blind to because of the israeli media. but i guess that if this is one of the most comment articles. this site is in bad shape. i looking for a reply, take care.
Editor: Have no faith that we will ever carry things that will make a Zionist happy. You were in the IDF yet consider yourself some kind of Florence Nightingale? The IDF is behind more death and needless suffering than most military groups in history, you guys look like shit in uniform! It is a shame and I was a US Marine, a highly disciplined military organization that doesn't allow people to wear rags for uniforms or sandals for military footwear. Now I do give you credit for not having any choice as to where you are from, and I know there are good people trapped in the IDF's mandatory service clause (mandatory draft) However there are better people in Israeli prisons who refuse the IDF and prefer peace (literally, actually) and are willing to be tossed in the clink over it. Now, you tell me you feel like a kid with anger, that betrays quite a bit doesn't it? Does it make you want to take out your Uzi and start spraying little Palestinian kids brave medic? Some scumbag TV show is used to offend Christians in the most direct and insulting way. This is fine with you. We object to a WARMONGER country's murderous ways, we object to its apartheid politics, its Jewish only roads, its separate laws for Jews, its history of mowing down family's homes with bulldozers. Your day is coming and while we have many allies in Israel who are actually for peace, far too many are like you and you are hopelessly irretrievably dense.

there are some stupid people on here defending this idiotic, not even remotely funny garbage. i feel sorry for the people who perpetrated this garbage. we all will have to answer to God. what will these people have to say to Him when the time comes? it doesnt matter tho. they'll be cast into a Lake of Fire where they can laugh at this filth forever. peopel comparing this to south park, like that excuses it, are stupid. south park sucks too but at least they are truly ignorant, they just try to get a rise out of people. jews who have no idea who God or Jesus are should be ashamed off themselves.

Howard Camner September 14, 2011 5:40 pm (Pacific time)
Well it's ridiculous because she claims that Yeshu wanted to convert people to Christianity. There was no such thing as Christianity. Christianity was created hundreds of years later as a means to control barbarians, and it seems to work. it was a made-up religion to worship a man who was Jewish.
Matt July 12, 2011 4:36 pm (Pacific time)
Ok, this is clearly satire. And it's obviously not funded by foreign military aid to Israel. The writer of this article is just looking for a confrontational and silly excuse to be mad at Israel and Judaism.
R July 4, 2011 9:25 pm (Pacific time)
For jews to excuse this anti-christ show, or to outright mock Christianity, is a bold insult to the hundreds of thousands of Christian men who pulled your asses out of the fire just 65 short years ago. As is the cavalier use of the lazy and anti-intellectual 'anti-semite' accusation. Its an outright degradation to our still living grandfathers, and their dead friends, who fought for you. Next time we won't be there, as you don;t respect us for the effort. This show and your comments prove as much.
DK May 2, 2011 2:56 am (Pacific time)
I live in Jerusalem and concur with others who have said that the intent of the sketch is being (intentionally) misunderstood and actually self-mocks Israelis/Jews on several levels (desire to move abroad and desire to assimilate among some, simplistic nationalism among others) much more than Christianity, and secondly that this show is unknown in any event (this is the first I've heard of it). later searches include much criticism of the general idea of it, which is fit more for Italian TV. :-)
DR Sontag April 30, 2011 5:10 pm (Pacific time)
Unfortunately...many Jews do not like Christians. The Lord commands us to "love Israel"...however...the problem lies in the "semantics" of 'which Israel'. It is not Israel as a nation, nor as a larger body of people, but the "Seed of Abraham". That is the Israel...the "Hebrew Israel" that the Lord speaks of...not the 'Judaizers' of our time. But sadly, Christianity does not recognize the difference. That is why during the last half of "Jacob's Trouble" (Tribulation) 2 of every 3 "Jews" will perish. The Holocaust only took 1 out of 3. "Those who claim they are Jews, but are not..."
christian jew April 30, 2011 2:39 pm (Pacific time)
its only televised Talmud that's all. Did they not spit and curse and drive nails into JEsus? did they not mock him and put a crown of thorns on him? did they not yank out chunks of flesh from him while beating Him with chains? did they not pluck out his beard and convict Him falsely ? Why did they have the romans take HIS life? ooo I forgot, because the Torah is against killing...The Talmud says that Jesus is a bastard child of a Roman soldier that is boiling in hell right now. The Talmud is regarded higher than the Torah in modern Judaism. Just like Jesus Yeshua said: "A synagogue of Satan" All Jews who deny Jesus Christ are going to hell and that's a fact. Soon the entire world will be gathered against Israel. And that's by GOD's own hand. A small remnant of Israeli inhabitants will finally realize that they killed their own Messiah and repent. That's when Israel will be redeemed and The MEssiah will return, A SECOND TIME!!!!!!You can really see by reading some of the comments on here that most Jews hate Jesus to this day. You killed him already what more do you want? All this fuss about a bastard child of a roman soldier 2000 years ago,why reserve so much contempt for a fictive character?????? I don't see any shows out there making fun of the tooth ferry? or mickey mouse??? or robin hood?? What's the fuss all about, if JEsus was a fake that why waste your time hating HIM???? But HE IS not a fake, HE is more real than you or I will ever be friend!!! HE IS RISEN!!! If he did just die, SIMPLE, why not produce a body? Show us a body and we'll stop believing. But there is no body and there never was a dead body. because JESUS is alive. Repent of your wickedness and bow down to The King of Kings and Lord of Lords before it's too late. JESUS SAVES, the jews and gentiles!!!
And for all the die hard Zionist Jesus haters, who does Isaiah 53 refer to? Why is the topic of the Messiah not even discussed in modern Judaism? OOO O forgot, because the Sanhedrin ruled against discussing the Messiah. Ignorant blinded fools leading the blind."white washed tombstones" Scattered sheep surrounded by wolves. Wake up already. Can't you see the entire Torah is all about Jesus? The passover sprinkling of blood on your door posts, the blood of the perfect lamb????? HELLOOOO The sign of the cross you make as you sprinkle the blood of the lamb on the top lentil than right door post and than left door post??? CANT YOU SEE THE SIGNIFICANCE??? Its a bloody cross sign you're making every passover. The door you're marking with blood. Jesus said: I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me" No other doorway. ONLY JESUS! And HE loves you, why do you reject that? Where is your temple? You think HASHEM GOD would let you without a temple for 2000 years? You even had a temple in the desert!!! No more temple you know why? Because Jesus Christ that's why. He came that you may have life and life abundantly. He is the way and the only way. IF HE was just another way HE would be nothing. But He is the only way, HE is everything. Repent now, today, for HELL is real and you don't have to burn. You can live, accept the free gift paid for in blood by the Messiah, the perfect lamb of GOD. You don't think the New Covenant "testament" is real? look up Armageddon battle real quick than see middle east in the next 10 years or so. The new covenant proves its authenticity by writing about the end from the beginning. It's accurate prophecies are accurate to the T. "The earth and heaven will pass but The WORD of Yeshua Son of David will never pass" That's why its still here after 2000 years. What, you think you're the first ones to kill the messengers of truth? hahah, they killed the prophets before Jesus and will kill them again, actually they are killing them by the thousands everywhere like China, Sudan, Darfur, Indonesia, and pretty much everywhere on the planet. As for the 100 % jewish communist holocaust that is still on going in China I have no words. Not one movie was made on the 60 million + victims of the JEwish communist holocause (that is when the communist jews killed 60 million people in russia. But the 6 million that died in germany there is about 6 million movies. About one for each jew killed. Why the silence of historical facts? Or the life of a non Jew is worthless??? Well according to the Talmud it is. Now that's hypocrisy, calling the nazies racist when Jews to this day do not allow their children to lower their race with a white animal. ... who's racist now huh? I'll tell you who, the devil inspired Talmud that's who. If you're a Jew, burn your Talmud and start reading the words of Hashem, THE TORAH, Start with Issaiah 53 but try not to ask your rabbi, you'll get excommunicated on the spot or hell try to kill you too like his fore-bearers did Jesus.
Joe April 29, 2011 7:10 pm (Pacific time)
How sad that the true focus of this has been missed. It is not about Jews and Christians, it is all about Jesus, the Messiah. The "Son of David" has already come to Earth. No use looking forward, look backward and you will see HIM there asking you to believe. HE cried over Jerusalem once and I believe he cries over unbelievers still today. The Bible says that HE stands at the door of the heart and knocks waiting for an invitation to come in... The Torah points forward to Jesus and the New Testament points backward to HIM. Please open your hearts and minds to the truth and stop all of this finger pointing and bickering. Eternity is a long time to spend in the wrong place, and the choice of where to spend it is so simple. God loved the Jewish people so much that HE sent HIS only begotten SON to them FIRST...... We Christians were second place here but that does not keep us from loving our brothers the Jewish people. Peace to you.
reuven April 27, 2011 1:31 am (Pacific time)
I am an Israeli and a Jew, and I must say, that you totally misunderstood the it. It is not a mockery of Jesus but a mockery of Israeli self-centered chauvinism. You also skipped the funny parts where the monkey says he wants to live in Switzerland and eat Toblerone. This yearning is considered treason by the nationalist israelis (represented by the girl), and this is the target of the show.

Hi tim, Some information from one of the creators: This video wasn’t played on the tv, only on the internet before bip channel bought the program. it didn’t hurt anyone that time. The intention of the video didn’t mean of course to hurt the feeling of the christians, it’s a parody on the israeli chauvinist 70′s tv programs. other programs were about 1967 war etc and about the creation of the world with adam and eve. The translation changes the meaning. there is no F word in the program as an example. Sorry for anyone who was hurt by it.

Dani..Jesus Christ did not mock you, he cried for you. He said He wanted to take you under His wings in truth, like a mother hen takes her babies. He cried much. He had no weapons, just truth. And He died for that truth as a peasant. What is Netanyahu doing? I understand the tears of Christ, because I too, cry most everyday, the sadness of what those in control of israel, the U.S., and most of the world are doing. It hurts. Christ would seldom speak, unless asked a question. A trait that I work on but fail continually. The only time He got mad, was against the money changers. I am also upset with the money changers, they are destroying any type of life that I spent years building for my children. And we know now, who the money changers are, and those that are condemning this article, and Tim, are not nice people. People such as Tim and myself want life, liberty, beauty, forgiveness, love, and wisdom. Others want chaos, death and destruction. Its obvious, from these posts, who is who.
Thanks again Tim, and come summer, maybe we will go out surfing together! :-)

the video is repulsive in the extreme. But it has gone forward without, as far as I can see, any effort to clarify its origins. . A google search shows the "Mocking Jesus" video aired at least before 2005 rather than, as suggeted in this and the many other posts now jamming the internet, around 'Easter this year. It has been periodically dredged up to fuel outrage. Whether this video was actually shown on Israeli TV is unclear. A Palestinian source says it appeared on BIP (also BEEP) TV, a commercial Israeli comedy channel defunct as of the end of 2010. I cannot find verification of this on the internet. Another report says it was part of a series on a Flix website. If it did not appear on Israeli TV, then it is just another stupid, repulsive youtube/flix video made in some fool's basement. The alacrity with which it has been seized upon, without any journalistic due diligence, is troubling.

Well looks like you dug something from the year 1983....... I bet you just enjoyed finding this idiotic junk. As it serves your antisemite sick emotions. I can find you some more idiotic issues for you to show "LOOK AT THE JEWS.....;" IDIOTIC SHOW FOR AN IDIOTIC ANTISEMITE. go to Incogman.net you will find some more junk.

this video was from 2007, it was picked up by stormfront a few days ago and they have been spending the last 3 days spreading this around to get people to hate the Jews, because that is their job

Tim thanks as always. You are a strong man that stands tall in a time when others are turning their heads. All the people want to hear is "Israel is good because thats where Jesus was born. We should support them. They love Christians they took our money."
Goyim Slave? They are Not real Jews April 24, 2011 10:34 pm (Pacific time)
This video does not represent the loving jewish people I personally know. I think it IS representative of the vile beliefs that exist within Israel. I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2:9
Dani April 24, 2011 9:42 pm (Pacific time)
I know that video has upset you and I haven't liked it too, but try to understand that jews has suffered from you know whom....can you contact the show producers to tell them know you are hurt. It's not good to mock anyone according to Judaism. Just try to understand that that show was not for Christians to watch and Israelis sometimes can be rude, but they are honest. Christianity is not that great to jews. I hope it will not hurt you. Christianity is not a religion for Jews, it was pushed by Romans and Greeks, while jews were exiled and exterminated. Just think about how it feels to be a jew and hear not so nice stuff about your religion in New Testament. Maybe it will give you a que, why jews don't want to hear about Roman messiah. You are trying to stereotype Jews as Christ mockers and before getting frustrated do some research and you will know what's happening with jews.
Tim King: Well, I have no questions about how rotten history has been to people, but my concerns are with the here and now. Christians across the board support Jewish people and they have no idea that this is the regard they receive in return. It seems to me that everything about Israel is a focus on yesterday and a disregard for the fragile nonexistent peace of today. Honestly, if something like this aired on regular American TV they would have AIPAC and the ADL and others breathing down their neck. They would instantly be branded as antisemitic and gone from the airwaves quicker than one could blink. Honestly, you think I am stereotyping Jews when I wrote, "Once again, most sadly, I am sorry for my Jewish friends who are indirectly represented by insanity like this. Just remember that it is extremely indirect."
Why are these reactions so hard to follow? Some are saying this is an anomaly when others come along and stick up for what the girl says in the show. And BTW, can someone tell me when this was produced? Again, for the record, this does not represent the Jewish people I know. Thanks for your comment.
dani April 24, 2011 9:32 pm (Pacific time)
You are nuts. Why should jews like Christianity? We don't care about JC, maybe such did not exist...why in the heck you post this. You dont' like judaism, we don't like 'christ'ianity, so we have right to mock it the way they mocked us in new testament.
Tim King: Whatever you say Dani.

Jesus was a fagot if he even existed and a false messiah if he did. The Bible is just the Torah with everything made to look like its about Jesus. I personally cant wait for the Son of David to show up finally, then all these Jesus humping Christians can STFU.

Tim..these posts are from people that are paid by israel.its obvious to me. Keep up the good work, all you do is expose the truth. You are like me Tim, I love everyone, but some commit atrocities that are so bad, we have to speak out. And you, like me, would rather be doing something else.. Hanging out with our wife at the beach, or writing poetry, or whatever. To have to make this website, is the last thing you want to do, but you have to expose the lies..If they quit lieing, we can go back to our lives on other subjects. Hang in there, the truth is winning my friend. Not my religion, not my ethnical background, simply the truth.
Tim King: Thank you so much, I have to say that just made my day to read, particularly after the last one I approved. Yes, the beach is exactly where I would like to be, I haven't surfed in a year but that is the course of things. Maybe, just maybe, we will live to see that day. I sincerely appreciate this.

Also the quality and humor of the tv show is up to the perspective of the tv show-makers. Digital special effects does NOT equal high quality despite what American films show. The message went across perfectly without being distracted by 3D glasses, or whatever else. That is the point of a show. To get its message across. And to entertain and educate, in this case. Education and communication was the intents of the invention of the tv, by the way. Not American advertisement and sitcom shows. The quality and humor and style depicted in this show is remeniscent of the 'educational show' in the movie "Mrs. Doubtfire", right up to the talking puppet monkey. I was both entertained and educated. That's what you fear the most. Not the satire, so much.
Wilder April 24, 2011 6:02 pm (Pacific time)
You sir, are biased towards American nationality. Christianity AKA Christendom has had hypocritical attitudes towards other religions for nearly all its existence. Cry about unfairness when somebody else mocks your beliefs yet same time your beliefs invade and attack non-believers all the time. Israel was never involved in 9/11, the terrorist sect was. Yet Israel gets raped up the ass by America. Yet they are supposed to just accept it all and be assimilated into American culture? How do you think they feel about that? How would an American feel about America being invaded by N. Korea because of its terrorists and gangs and mafias and corruption?
Tim King: No, I am not freaking out because this is my religion, it is the bigger point of showing Americans what is really taking place over there. Americans think by and large, that Israelis like them, but you and I know that this is not really true. Some, sure, but there is a prevailing attitude against Americans there and it is only obscene because Americans feed Israel so much tax revenue. As I said, I was hoping to hear what reactions all of you have, so thanks for your comment.

Tim King is a vile antisemite. Look at the list of writers - a who's who list of bigots. What a joke.
Editor: Hmmm, you say that because Tim King writes about Israel's cruelty? Not one member of this staff is an antisemite, in fact I'll bet we give the Nazi's and fascists (Israel) a far worse time than you would ever have the courage to do. We take on racists like the scum they are and a good amount of time the bigotry is 100% stemming from your Zionist persuasion. But not always, and that is why we take on all of you who find yourselves elevated in your humanity. In fact Zionism strips your humanity.

One last comment..first of all, this is not about "religion " Most christian churches support israel. This is about Jesus Christ. What is so important about Jesus Christ? He told the truth. And those against him hate the truth. This is why they killed him, and are still killing Him thru the government, the media, the churches, the education etc. Jesus knew, that once a person gets the truth, there is no turning back. You cant just say "I dont want the truth"...Once you feel it, once you know it, its part of you. This is why the elite/globalists/israel/rothchilds/whatever, have changed history in the books we read, took over the government and most importantly, the media. Jesus never lifted a hand to anyone, and even cried for israel..But He told the truth, and those that killed Him did not want truth. The romans were tricked/manipulated to kill Jesus, the same way israel bombed the USS Liberty, to get the U.S. to fight Egypt. Same thing. Nothing new under the sun. They want to control the world, and they cant, if too many people know the truth. Christ told the truth, that is why the liars hate Him. The darkness hates light, it exposes the filth.

In it's full meaning, there is no other word that is filled with more venomous hate than GOY. The comments about the GOY found in the Talmud, written countless centuries before the so-called Nazi deathcamps were built. When it comes to a genocide that was certainly the largest and most brutal in known world history, then it was the one carried out in the Soviet Union beginning in 1917. Stalin admitted to over 30 million killed, but reports of more than 60 million lost souls appears to be more accurate. Regardless of the number, it dwarfs the claimed 6 million Jews killed. The leaders of this genocide were disproportionaly Jews. Ask yourself why this is not being taught in our schools, here or abroad? To find that answer, see who controls the disproportionate share of all media, which includes textbook publishing. See any movies made about it? How come no movie on the war crime attack on the USS LIBERTY? Jews are a 2% minority of U.S. population, look at what their percentage is not just in all elected positions, but political staff, university staff (including admissions personel in our graduate schools) and on and on. Simply by pointing out historical facts as the above, the Jews would use their common distraction technique by claiming I was an anti-Semite. This technique is losing ginger, so expect something new. Maybe something similar to what took place in the Soviet Union. If you think that is over the top thinking, then ask the Palestinians what they think. Happy Easter to all believers.

Its a fact that israel bombed the USS Liberty and blamed it on Egypt, so that they could get U.S. support to go to war with Egypt. Its a fact that the mossad and cia were part of 911...etc etc etc...Its also a fact that israel takes U.S. dollars and uses them to buy our media, and millions are spent on bloggers to spread the israeli lies. The posts on this article, supporting israel, might be getting paid.

Many of the comments here show really, how dumbdowned America has become.First of all, they are not jews, khazars comes to mind. The book of revelations says "those that call themselves jews are not jews..They dont know how world war 2 started, and how rothchilds, along with the khazars collaborated with Hitler to attack palestine later etc. This is all proven if you simply turn off your tv and do your own research. Or just forget it and go to john hagee's church and live in the denial..
Yamabushi7 April 24, 2011 7:37 am (Pacific time)
Religion of any kind is horrible it come from the root word implying bondage. It is mans way of attempting to pay for sin on his terms Yeshua(Jesus) was Jewish. Early Christians Constantine and others removed most Jewish traces such as Sabbath worship(Saturday) from their version of Christianity. They are the ones spoken of in Matthew 5:17-19 as least in the kingdom of heaven!Hitler was a Catholic as was the Pope during WW2 so it is no surprise the Jews view Christians with such hate. Mr King you did not do your home work Read "From Time Immemorial" By Joan Peters, or Dave Hunts"A Woman Rides The Beast" (church history). Your anger causes you to fail making your point. You did not research the history of Jews and the so-called Christian church. You have no credibility!

Jade Green April 24, 2011 5:40 am (Pacific time)
Hey Tim,
I'm an Orthodox Jew and I can tell you categorically this video is one of the vilest things I've ever seen!
Nothing at all to do with Judaism for sure.
This is some weird and twisted SandM insanity which I can only believe was deliberately created by someone who wants to destroy Jewish-Christian relations and is trying to stir up trouble.
We in the religious community are against assimilation. But we are just as firmly against semi-nudity (no religious Jew would ever countenance a bikini-clad TV show host!), cruelty to animals, crucifixion, bizarre distortions of history, the implication that the Jews killed Yeshu, laughing at others' pain... I could go on!
Every single aspect and utterance on that evil clip was designed to create hatred. Not only is it not funny, it's evil.
Religious Christians everywhere should know that we Orthodox Jews share your values: a God centered life, home, family, conservative principles, righteousness and a life guided by love of God.
Crap like this video is something created by the Mixed Multitude and golden calf worshipers to foment hatred.
10% of Jews in America are religious (and under 30% in Israel). I absolutely guarantee you that any Orthodox Rabbi
(and also any leaders of the non-orthodox) would absolutely decry this video in the strongest of terms.
And I'm also sure that 99% of the non-religious Israeli public would find this hateful and vile and not remotely funny.
Judging the Jews by this video would be like me judging Christians by the Skinheads.
Thanks,
J Green
Tim King: Hey Jade, you know I am totally with you on that right? I fail to understand my share when indulging this subject of Israel, but in no way do I take this to be a representation of the faith (of course!)

come on.... Its just a comedy show. south park and the simpsons do the same kind of humor all the time. what a lame way to try and create a scandal. I can do a story in the israely news about how in an american show called south park people are making fun on a little jewish boy called kyle. and I bet if i'll look for it I could find similar Examples in that show.
The show presented in the article wasnt even successful. its a late late night almost no one knows about.
very poor news reporting
Editor: I suppose that is reflected by the balanced number of Arab shows in Israel that insult Jews? After all it's no bid deal right?
Disappointed April 24, 2011 1:34 am (Pacific time)
Here are some facts that you conveniently left out. Most important: 1. There are many offensive and derogatory things shown on Israeli television. Shows mocking Judaism usually go much further than you can imgagine. This is not state-produced but private production allowed by the state and its laws of freedom of expression. Hate what is said but don't pass defend the right to say it even if it is in bad taste. And most definitely, do not pass it off as made, shown or supported by the Israeli government and its people. 2. This show is a stupid, late-night show, with low ratings, and is extremely tasteless with constantly stirring up controversy over it's objectification of women other idiotic stunts. This only represents Israel's die-hard freedom of expression laws which also allow for Arab-Israelis to openly call for Israel's desctruction and even support for her enemies.
A jewish guys opinion April 24, 2011 12:55 am (Pacific time)
We Jews have been murdered in the tens of millions in the name of Jesus over the last two millennia. The simple fact that our holy books denigrate Jesus and his lessons is part and parcel of this oppression. Many Jews have always and will continue to view Christianity as an abherrant group whose most redeemable quality was their acceptance of Jew's monies as bribery for their lives. Jews have always gotten through their dillemmas due to their sarcasm, wit, and mordant sense of humor. Those Jews' view Yeshu as just like any other Jew. He was just another man of whom it should not be anathema to mock. There have been a great number of Jewish "messiahs" and Jesus is the one who resulted in the most bloodshed. Naturally speaking, he would garner the lions' share of Jewish ire.
Eddie April 23, 2011 10:47 pm (Pacific time)
This by nOway represents the Jewish people. This is some stupid ass producer with a NastY looking girl trying to make it big in thE film industry. Clearly poor taste. But in all reality there Are so many American cartoons and other shows mocking many religiOns even jesus. So pointing one film and blaming israel for it is childish. Grow up and write some real articles. This was my first and last time on your lam site.
Tim King: Sorry Eddie, a 'lam' site? Sorry, my grasp on Yiddish is very limited. Perhaps we inspire a great light in you and you meant to say 'lamp site' but unfortunately that would still be incorrect.
But seriously, did I preface the points in this article by saying, 'the crap on American TV is great!. Nope, didn't think so. I don't like it and as a rule I don't watch it and for years I have hated the portrayal of the American that it projects to the world, but then you are what you eat. So, I appreciate this comment because I wanted to hear the excuses, like I said, and also the fact that you won't be leaving your highly programmed thinking on our pages, I have enough argumentative people to contend with. Of course if you ever change your mind that is OK with me. I know it is possibly not the worst thing in the world ever produced in Israel. Certainly the parody of 'We are the world' that the Israeli government produced in the wake of the Mavi Marmara attack was probably the single worst, but we don't need to get into that. And by the way, I wrote about the genocide in Sri Lanka two days ago and the story has gone fairly viral, is that 'real' enough Eddie? Thanks.

Paul April 23, 2011 9:26 pm (Pacific time)
Thanks for your response, I managed to track down its source, which is web site flix.co.il — an Israeli YouTube equivalent. That can hardly be represented as official doctrine - any more than the stuff on our YouTube is. There are apparently other episodes with Saddam Hussein, George Bush and the Devil. Just someone's poor idea of humor.

I find it in very poor taste but I would like to see some proof that it was actually an Israeli-made video. Regardless, you can see the chick smiling, so you can tell it's only a spoof.
Editor: You can dress it up how you like but I'll bet you wouldn't take it out. Besides, at any rate, it is a mockery of the worst kind obviously intended to at best confuse and belittle the Christian faith. And believe me, I would say the same thing regardless of what religion or faith we are talking about. Paul, people in Israel are really heavily conditioned to see things in a particular manner and they openly regularly regard Arabs as 'the enemy'. Openly declaring BS about Christians is far more unusual, but part of a national program of prejudice that teaches people that only Jews are worthwhile. This is how and why they justify 'Jewish only' roads and highways and districts and communities and also the totally different laws used to judge and sentence Jews differently from non-Jews. And for the record we regularly carry and feature Israeli and Jewish writers. I guess I'm responding more at large with that, than to your paricular comment.
eileen fleming April 23, 2011 8:17 pm (Pacific time)
Very sad if such insipid, inane, jejune TV fare appeals to Main Street in Israel, but as there's so much crap on US TV too, no doubt bad taste is universal.

This disturbing video has nothing to do with Judaism and the people who made it are clearly sick.

Christians mock our Torah and call it all "testament". First of all "jesus" might not even exist, but those of you who pray to him, he is a jew too.
Editor: Well I was curious as to what defenses would be offered. No question about Jesus being a Jew; that is actually something people tend to understand. But the mockery is unacceptable in a fragile world, don't you think? And why is Israeli TV and media production so low end? I know there are stellar film producers in Israel, but their idea of production values and mine are night and day. Salaam
Uhm April 23, 2011 7:18 pm (Pacific time)
This was a poor attempt at comedy, but a comedy show nonetheless. The Simpsons and South Park denigrate Christ and Christianity all the time - albiet in a much funnier fashion.
Any attempt to equate this show with imams and children's shows in Arabic countries which teach that Jews ARE dogs and monkeys and should be killed - is intellectually dishonest.
This is was a comedy show - relax Mr. Virulent Anti-Semite.
'Virulents' is a movie about vampires in Afghanistan that never apparently was completed. You think you sport wit but you are scarcely aware of your own silliness or how people have become wary of all like you who scream 'antisemite' when in fact you are the Nazi in this deal. We are anti-genocide, it doesn't matter who does the killing, we are against it. My friends, readers and supporters know we aren't against Jewish people, for God's sake. We are against monsters who lurk in religious clothing, and idiots who defend Israel with no brains in their head. I wrote this for you, Uhm.
Excuse for one, excuse for all,
Regardless of how striking or visceral
Always deny truth unless
it benefits Israel
The evidence may exist but if it doesn't fit the agenda
Toss it in the sea, or strike it and later claim 'human shield'
This land of apartheid with the star on a flag
Is the only player that counts in the hasbara deal
Children, women, the IDF cuts them down
With unkempt uniforms, half look like clowns
Religious bigotry, the order of the day
Caterpillar and Colt are there to clear the way.
But in the end what is left
Of Israel's agenda, will be dark
Like the gal in the bathing suit
Defying light, where grace has no part
