I like that the pro-Semitic message is so strong as to promote incest.

Am I the only who thinks it’s deeply disturbing that this person is dating someone who looks just like the person’s own sister and aunt?

Of course, I’m a Jew who’s been shacked up with the same shaygitz for 18 years, I’m sure this mom wouldn’t trust my judgment on dating matters.

Maybe she doesn’t look like a family member, but the mom thinks she does.

Oh c’mon — how about not wanting to meet her because “you’ll just break up with her soon anyway.” I don’t know if that is more universal as a comment from moms or as an action from sons/daughters…but so true.

I just couldn’t keep within the religion. Way too cultish for me. For a mother to get THAT excited over the fact that she’s jewish and LOOKS it?! Man. I had to sit down with Mom and have a talk one day. “Mom, It just might not happen, so let’s get the grieving out now. Oh and by the way, I don’t believe in organized religion as it is anyway”

She moved on. Now all she cares about is grandkids. (Of course she can’t help throwing in: “they’ll be jewish anyway since you were born jewish no matter what you say.” I let her have that one).

It would be funny if the family wasn’t Jewish, they just wanted their son to date a girl who LOOKS jewish. it’d be the fodder of sitcoms.
