Could someone tell me whether or not James Whale is Jewish? Someone has told
me that he is.

It's just about a theory that I have.

James isn't Jewish (as far as I know), but his engineer, "Ash", is.
James, however, has claimed on-air that he has been circumcised. All Jewish
men are circumcised, but this does not mean that James is Jewish.
However - If you listen to the show on a fairly regular basis, you will know
that James is not really a big fan of organised religion. He has little
respect for religion and religious practices. I remember James saying that
his parent's did not bring him up with any faith, so he probably *isn't*
Jewish, unless he became Jewish later in life which is very unlikely because
of his dislike of religion. Of course, James' dislike of religion could be
just made up for the show. Just out of interest, who told you that James is
Jewish?

Regards
Paul

Maybe he was forced into that whole thing when he was younger.. which is why
he is (rightfully, IMHO) against all that stuff...

I was told that a caller rang one evening and said to James Whale on some
point or other 'but of course you're Jewish'. Apparently James didn't reply
to this but he seemed a little shaken afterwards by the comment.

Being Jewish is a bit more than having any religious beliefs. It is
perfectly possible to be an atheist and still be Jewish. Judaism is a
religion, of course, but it is an ethnocentric religion - a racist
religion - a religion only for the circumcised sons of Abraham. Many famous
Jews like: Freud, Trotsky and Marx were non-religious but they are
considered to be just as Jewish as any other.

I don't want to go into my theory about Jews in the media here, but James
Whale has some interesting views and sometimes almost loses control when
callers try to express certain opinions on things like race. There is a
pretty widespread Jewish agenda in our media and James Whale's behaviour
would be a lot easier to understand if it could be confirmed that he is
indeed Jewish.

I wonder, could someone tell me the colour of his eyes... I have a
suspicion that they are blue -- blue :( there's a theory I have about
blue eyes... but what if they are brown -- gasp shock horror, to be
blessed with brown eyes... the theory on both brown and blue compares
not in the least to the one held on those that are hazel coloured.

-- who cares what religion a presenter is, what race, creed or bloody
colour... I couldn't care less if he was blind, deaf and dumb, in the
case of Whale's usual outpourings, the latter might even be an
advantage. Surprisingly enough I don't care whether he even has a
dinkle, let alone one that's been snipped, preventing him from eating
bacon for the rest of his days.

I'll get me lemon angels....

Bully for you, old son. No-one asked you to get involved. I don't care if
you don't care. There are lots of things I don't care about, I simply don't
bother to respond to them.

This isn't the only way in which we differ then.

I don't wish to fuel a fire here, but I have reliable evidence that
Krusty the Clown is also secretly Jewish. TYSK.

100%..... it WOULD be a wonderful useful improvement !!

He is a Dinkle, but most of us use the "other word"

bacon? :-)

James Whale's behaviour is completely understandable, when you consider he
has a massive chip on his shoulder about being a thick twat. And when you
consider his 'famous' friends extend to Melinda Messenger and a bird who
once 'starred' as Lara Croft and now can be seen flaunting her none too
ample assets on Playboy magazines the world over. Please don't bother with
this Jewish Agenda business right now, we're entering a new century in less
than twelve months time and anti semitic views should remain in the domain
of those who still think the Hitler Youth was a good idea. And readers of
Fox and Hound.
