    Thursday’s tour is called “Spread Hummus Not Hate.” It’s led by the New York-based Foundation for Ethnic Understanding and the Greater Washington Muslim-Jewish Forum.

    Participants will sing songs, share pita and hummus and ask people to sign a pledge to confront bigotry. They plan to visit a mosque and a synagogue, among other locations. At 1 p.m. they’ll be at Farragut Square Park in Washington to greet the lunchtime crowd.

    I suggest the Jews on that tour trip should at least wear bullet proof vests.

    Jewish liberal fools. Hummus comes in two forms; cooked which is soft, and also uncooked which is great for a slingshot. This reminds me of the story of the gingerbread man.

    If a person were to make a judgement based on the previous comments to this article it would appear that frum Jews have completely rejected Hillel’s dictum: ‘הוי מתלמידיו של אהרן, אוהב שלום ורודף שלום, אוהב את הבריות’ ‘be students of Aaron, loving peace and pursuing peace, loving people’. With so much hatred, prejudice and negativity coming from so many observant commentators on this and other sites I struggle to see how they even think they might be fulfilling the final part of Hillel’s statement: ‘ומקרבן לתורה’ ‘and bringing them close to Torah’.

    Foolish liberal Jews. Their idiocy and ignorance is mind blowing. The Torah says, עם הדומה לחמור that the Arabs are wild beasts, פרא אדם please tell me how exactly can you make peace with wild beasts? But when you don’t believe in the Torah, everything goes. For 70 years they’re fighting Israel, and for 1400 years they’re killing Jews, now these liberal Jews think that they’ve come up with the magic formula of peace with theses savages?
    What is wrong with this world?
