One of the stereotypes (or perhaps the truth) is that Jews make the best secret agents and that that Mossad is perhaps even better than MI5 and the CIA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-24453758903140263492008-01-21T13:01:00.000+02:002008-01-21T13:01:00.000+02:00Mark, Arch, Anon: My pleasure.Soccer D: The only r...Mark, Arch, Anon: My pleasure.<BR/><BR/>Soccer D: The only redeemable Jewish character I can remember is in the movie Manhattan Project.<BR/><BR/>The main character ends up at a science fair and runs into a group of other people, one whom has a kippah.<BR/><BR/>This participant takes part in the conversation and activity, and not a single word or action references the fact that he has a kippah. He's treated and acts like any other human being.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could see a lot more representations like that.<BR/><BR/>YehudaYehuda Berlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038826060312027387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-20622332209879577792008-01-21T12:56:00.000+02:002008-01-21T12:56:00.000+02:00In comic books, Orthodox Jews used to be portrayed...In comic books, Orthodox Jews used to be portrayed as being adept at Kabbalah. I don't know if that's still the case.<BR/><BR/>About the only authentic Orthodox Jewish character I can think of on Prime Time was the DA on the Trial of Rosie O'Neil.<BR/><BR/>Various editions of Law and Order have portrayed Orthodox Jews as openly frequenting strip clubs and heading out to day labor sites to club Hispanic immigrants.Soccer Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142724823098073038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-80446197099329960642008-01-21T05:58:00.000+02:002008-01-21T05:58:00.000+02:00Love your post!
