It was all over the news, they had to postpone that 700 billion 'bail out' fiasco because of a Jewish holiday, what the fuck is going!

Jewish new year, apparently...

QuoteCongressional leaders were still actively talking, trying to develop an alternate plan that Congress will approve. But the House was in recess both Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Senate will have no votes until after sundown Wednesday, the end of the holiday according to Orthodox and Conservative synagogues. The holiday started Monday evening.Taking off on Rosh Hashana and, a week later, the Jewish day of atonement, Yom Kippur, is a fairly recent practice.

All you have to do is ask them how would they feel if congress postponed for a Muslim holiday in the middle of this 'economical crisis'.

No shit man. Pick the people you spend your time on wisely. There are some recalcitrant ignoramuses out there. The biggest problem is that so many people have had attitude conditioning via the media and school which prevents them from logically looking at Jews and asking, "Are Jews engaged in a racial supremacy conspiracy?". I guess it really wouldn't be a conspiracy though since they clearly espouse their views of non-Jews in the Talmud and they overtly act according to the text.
