I did a google search for Mani Menachem and got heaps of results of people with those 2 names living today - not being Jewish I had no idea they were used - for some it would be obvious.
It's a bit like the name Yahashua or Yeshua or whatever one wants to think Jesus was called - there were heaps of them back then - same with mani and Menachem by the sounds of it.

Please refrain from posting these stupid childish pictures Stephan.

I respectfully request that Stephan's offensive Nazi racist style cartoon caricature be immediately removed from this thread.

Why can't you learn to use the report post button?

Why is it racist? It's from here:

Why Can't We Be Friends CD (or via: amazon.co.uk) from the band WAR.

The title song remains the obvious hit and standout track on War's sixth album. Inspired by a fight that broke out in the audience before the group mounted the stage, "Why Can't We Be Friends?" became a Top 10 hit on both R&B and pop charts, as did the followup, "Low Rider." Another highlight is "Don't Let No One Get You Down," an upbeat, self-help message song.

I think it was a peace offering. But communication on the internet is notoriously full of snags and missteps.

A peace offering? Not a very nice picture if you ask me but oh well, maybe some people just aren't good with words.

There has hardly been a single page in this thread where Stephan has not engaged in insulting the intelligence of other forum members.
Why would anyone interpret such a vile appearing caricature headed with the word 'WAR' as being a 'peace offering'? particularly when posted by an individual that has repeatedly insulted others intelligence on every page, and has never offered one sincere word of apology, what little 'apology' he did tender for his previous cartoon mockery, was simply another thinly veiled sarcastic insult.
In my view, this latest cartoon, was not at all intended as any 'peace offering' but was slyly chosen and posted here with intent to be offensive, as was the previous one.
Another problem with the cartoon, it was posted in reply to a statement by Transient, what was it intended to signify that was at all relevant to Transient's post?

???
Transient was not even engaged in any argument or disputation in that post. Why this alleged 'peace offering' as a 'reply'?

Have you ever viewed any Nazi era characterizations Toto? the inference is unmistakable in this context.
I am still finding it offensive, and politely requesting that it be removed.

BTW. I did use the report post button, after I raised my 'on Forum' objection, your above reply did not appear until I returned to the thread.

I agree

It was a peace offering. What's the matter with you people? You've never heard the song 'Why Can't We Be Friends?' I must be dating myself ...

Perhaps I should have sent this instead but you can't see a picture:

Racist nazi poster? Come on. Incidentally did you know that WAR was the group who Jimi Hendrix played with hours before he died.

We obviously lead very different lifestyles.
A simple apology would be much better - no need for pics and videos.
Blah what's the use - can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.
