Nah, it ain't just Jews.

Most of my family are from North Jersey and I heard that term used all the time by all kinds of Wops, Polacks, Mackeral Snappers and other general north Jersey ethic types.

Lotta great chow in North Jersey by the way.

I've heard cold cuts. In Venice IL I heard chopped ham called 'chipchop'. I'm gonna get me some chipchop. They did not know what 'pop' was.

Venice Florida is a bit upscale, but nothing like Naples Florida.

Haifa is, by far, the most peaceful city in Israel with very good relations between Jews, Muslims, Baha'i, and Christian. It's known as the San Francisco of Israel for both its hilly waterfront surroundings and its liberal, peaceful lifestyle. It's probably safer than any city its size in the entire USA. For that matter, Tel Aviv is likely safer than any city its size in the USA, even now.

PS - I hate to be humor impaired, but your false equivalency disorder is really raging with this comparison.

No, I never lived through a holocaust. But, I know someone who did. She was a Hungarian Jew, one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. Someone whose comments continue to influence me to this day.

But, IMO, the whole Israel thing has always been bullshit, is still bullshit and will always be bullshit. And, I resent people taking my money and dumping down the perpetual Zionist violence hole that is Israel.

Israel has blown up the one and only power plant. No electricity, running water or sewer. Now every resident of Gaza is affected and no end in sight.

I saw that and it deeply saddens me.
