Eh????????

I post that Ehud Barak (Israeli Minister of Defense) and Bernard Baruch are but two well known Jewish instances of the name Barack --- a simple fact --- (& one I had previously posted the same to you directly), and suddenly you can't stand it anymore?

What is that about?

Re: "is Arabic"

'Barack' (various spellings...) ALSO is Hebrew (More properly, it predates the time that Hebrew and Arabic linguistically split) as may be seen from the names of several well-known Jewish figures:

Ehud Barak (Current Israeli Minister of Defense....)

Bernard Baruch, famous investor/speculator etc.

So, what, GZ? 'Sarcasm' a problem with you now? (Despite your thread header saying NOTHING about that: "A spontaneous, uninhibited, and vigorous discussion is always welcome here, but uncivil rudeness and/or vulgarity are not acceptable.") Not one word against 'sarcasm'... and nothing saying 'sarcasm is only acceptable from certain people).

The post I RESPONDED TO (pasted below) doesn't 'qualify' as "sarcasm" in your book? (If 'sarcasm' is a problem for you... why no ban for this on the exact same thread?):
