Nice find, kc8uku. But, why is the Israeli ad in russian?

Lots of Israelis were born in Russia, like Golda Meir.

The more I learn about arabs AND their religion, the more I’m for off-shore drilling, nuclear energy, wind power and support for Israel.

People use the word racist so much anymore it’s just expected. So much so that it is losing it sting. Everytime somebody uses it I just shrug and say “Ya, so?”.

good day in the morning. I cannot believe this was approved to run where (anywhere for that matter) you know somebody is looking to be offended.

And here is another double game some arabs play.

What a joke that Saudis are so quick to make gratuitous accusations of racism when they abuse black foreign workers like literal slaves, locking Philipina maids up in the basement and raping them at will. The Muslim game here is to hold other people up to their highest moral standard, standards Muslims, and particularly Saudis, reject. Do you understand the double game they play?

I’m very proud of my 350Z Roadster at this moment. I think I’ll take her for a spin on this sunny day.

Don’t think it’s funny, aknod? Get a sense of humor.

And what’s with the newscaster showing cleavage? What would muhammad say about that (other then wishing his 9 year old wife had a body like that)?

[...] new Nissan ad broadcast in Israel depicts a bunch of Saudis getting murderously upset because their new car gets good gas mileage. Unsurprisingly, the Saudis [...]

Think they would have complained if they had used an American Oil Tycoon dressed up in a business suit?

Don’t forget that it is illegal to have fun. How can you have a sense of humor when you are always looking over your shoulder to see if the morality police are listening and watching. No music. No Pictures. No movies. No singing at weddings. How is it possible that these pieces of (add your own expletive here) think they can take over the world.

I guess it would be less offensive if the car exploded.

I nearly choked on the line that the Saudi was using about the Jewish community being racist. It’s simple projection but, since he might behead anyone who has the audacity to remind him that he’s in the same race as Jewish people, don’t tell him. It’s too dangerous to utter the truth to powerful fools.

How can it be racist?
Both Arabs and Jews are Semite.

“Racist” doesn’t mean racist anymore. We need a new word for “treats me as if I wasn’t hypersensitive”

Another thing that makes me wonder, did they get arab actors to get outraged at the nissan car?

wise_man on August 6, 2008 at 1:46 PM

Dunno. One of those guys gave me a Gene Simmons vibe. Gene’s a not-Arab Israeli (born Chaim Witz).

Haven’t seen a sense of humor or a bit of common sense from many Arabs or Muslims in recent past. Still living in the 17th century.
