One of the themes of Israel Thrives, that virtually no one else writes about, is the Arab appropriation of Jewish identity and history. They claim that Abraham was a Muslim, that Moses was a Muslim, and that Jesus was a Muslim. They claim that the Temple of David never existed in the City of David and they claim that the Tomb of the Patriarchs is a mosque.
Because I have sometimes focused on this question of Palestinian-Arab theft of Jewish identity and history and heritage, I find it slightly amusing that someone has taken my name to write some gibberish on Daily Kos.
User JesseCW is the dumbest dumbfuck in Dumbfuckistan.I did not write that and I know little or nothing about JesseCW. The name looks vaguely familiar, but beyond that I have no idea about this individual. To the extent that I even recognize the name, my suspicion is that he is a Daily Kos anti-Zionist, but I do not know and I do not really care.
This kind of stupidity, when tolerated, rots a site from within and corrodes its reputation without.
Egged on by evil clowns like DeadHead and TheMomCat, it makes the site a laughingstock of the internet.
Help stamp out malicious stupidity: don't read JesseCW
I just find it rather hysterical that someone would appropriate my name to write some gibberish on Daily Kos. To his credit, I have to say, whoever wrote the gibberish above kept it brief and managed to elicit over 200 comments.
I often find that when I write something quick and brief that it receives more participation than when I write something longer and more thoughtful. Whoever wrote the above must find it rather gratifying that he received the response that he did.
In any case, while I am flattered that this individual chose my name to place above this masterpiece, it was, in fact, not written by me.

Oh, and by the way, we just got back from the Mount Shasta region of northern California and, I have to say, I just love that area. It's beautiful. It's big mountains and lots of pine trees and deep gorges and canyons with rivers and streams and lakes chock full of rainbow trout.
The towns are Dunsmuir and McCloud and Shasta City.
If there are any such places as "God's Country," this is surely among them.
Caught a few nice ones, too.
If ever you find yourself in that neck of the woods, you should check out Cafe Maddelena in Dunsmuir. Top notch cuisine at reasonable prices.
