>"Suicide has been ruled out," William Dundon, a spokesman for the U.S.
>Marshals Service, said in an e-mail to Reuters.

>Another law enforcement official who is familiar with the investigation, but

>Israel, 48, had been due to begin serving a 20-year prison term in Ayer,

Sorry to piss you off, nice nazi, but hitler was not a suicide and
burning,
he hid in a septic tank and drowned in shit.
And why do you think he is Jewish? Jews do not use numerals after their
names because they name after the dead, not the living.
Obviously you have never dealt with a Turkish Rug merchant. <grin>
A guy walks into a Chinese laundry and asks for his shirts. The Chinese clerk
asks the customer if he has a claim ticket for the shirt.
"No, I don't. But don't you remember me? I came in yesterday with three white
Van Heusen shirts."
"No tiki, no shirti"
Disgusted, the customer storms out screaming to anyone who would listen, "That
dirty Jew bastard fucker! He won't give me my shirts!"
A passerby walks to the customer, "Waddya mean, 'Jew bastard?' He aint no Jew.
He's Chinese."
"Yeah," replies the customer. "They're the worst kind."
You would never rise to the level of dust on a Jew's boot sole.
