Christopher Hitchens passed away this past Friday at the relatively young age of 62. Before any of you go crying for this atheist who is suddenly being characterized as a Jew, please read this entire post.Labels: Christopher Hitchens

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

the man was a walking contradiction.
pro iraqi war...anti islamist
and yet was anti israel and whined about how the islamist palis were treated
but i loved listening to him talk
great debater
it hilarious to read those who agree with him on israel, rip him for iraq
the man was a contrarian...i think he based his philosophy on life on that monty python argument skit
Hitchens was admirable in that he had second thoughts about his Leftism, but he truly WAS an anti-semite. Not just anti-Israel, but actually anti-Judaism and anti-Jews. Except for the "good ones", from which he did not exclude Christopher Hitchens.
Who cares!
He eas an influential and talented writer, "Shy Guy". If you don't care, why did you bother to c
]omment?
hitch hated all those who have a belief in a deity
too ez to just call him a jew hater...he hated observant christians, muslims, budists, etc
he mostly hated religious leaders
he had atheist disease
wasnt enough that he didnt believe in g-d...he had to try to make the world not believe in g-d
he wasnt alone...most atheists are like him
ever listen to him talk about mother theresa or any of the popes? how about the dalai lama?
i cant stand guys like chomsky...for chomsky is a jew hater, while going out of his way to embrace muslims, and never having a bad thing to say about christians (unless they are neocon supporters of israel)
but i liked hitch, cuz he really did hate all believers equally....
in that way, he was not a hypocrite
I don't understand your point,
Are you saying Hitchens couldn't be Jewish because he said all that? Then you're wrong, because the worst anti Jewish people are actually your own, name them all, and they're all Jewish, I'm not saying Hitchens is Jewish, i don't believe he is, but to say he can't be because of all that, flies in all the evidence available, Israel Shamir, Shlomo Sand, and how many times have I read Jews poking fun at and deriding their religon.
Or
Are you saying that what Hitchens wrote was wrong? about the shabbos goy thing, and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, whom he called (ayotallah) no wonder Geller has zero credence :)
I suspect it's the latter,
