Article Discussion: Vader Half Jew

You forgot to add that Eli’s mother is Christian. That puts the cartoon in context. Name-calling and belitting your opponents doesn’t make for a meaningful dialogue, on either side. Both sides need to come to the table and communicate peacefully to come to a resolution. Respect is the key.

The extended metaphor works comedically as it calls to task the “holier than thou”attitude and point of view of many orthodox Jews. The egocentricity of purity of race while committing fornication “in-house” as it were holds the mirror up to nature and is satirically funny; i.e. if the shoe fits, wear it!

Comedy works on the theory that the “a”normal, caricatured, in this case the “purist” Jew is so much more a threat to his own people than is Darth Vader! The cartoon is very funny and ultimately asking for a more reasoned approach to Jewish, cross-demnominational, infighting. It represents a much more inclusive, broader approach to Judaism.

Good lord, that was funny!!!

Better we have Jews who don’t look Jewish (like my son!) than no Jews at all.

I Think its quite sad… I mean we’re all laughing at this and it is remarkably funny. However, people think like this every day. day in and day out.
