Jews for Jesus has been distributing a pamphlet in NYC that draws parallels between the careers of Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Jesus H. Christ. The pamphlet concludes by targeting the supposedly Jewish Jobs for conversion.

I’m so happy Jewschool continues to propogate xtain attempts to convert Jews. Perhaps we should call site J4JSchool.

I thought Jobs was biologically Arab. His biological mother was Joanne Schieble, and his father was Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian. They married in 1955 in a church in Green Bay.

But really, that’s a dumb pamphlet. Hardly makes sense, much less a convincing point. What a half-assed effort on their part.

Now can we start using “Steve Jobs” as a swear word?

M, don’t want you to assault anyone; but I’m assaulted by enough xtain bs as is, don’t need more of it when I go here for my Jewish fix.

I thought these guys got millions for their propaganda. As a mac user and a Jew I am disappointed not to see better production values. I do appreciate the “handmade” quality of this tract, however, and its almost endearing uber geekiness.
Is there one with Linus Torvalds or Woz?

I see these folks and their pamphlets everywhere, and have thus far managed not to puke all over them. One of their other tracts features Google–complete with handy trademark signs–and I was pretty surprised. Is this kind of appropriation legal? Do Google and Mac really want their names associated with this? I think if I were Steve Jobs, I’d be a little steamed.
Well, maybe that’s just because nobody’s called MY career trajectory messianic.

[...] The Town Crier says that there is a war on Chanukah. Ever hear of Jews for Stevus? WestBankMama wrote about Jewish Women battening down the hatches. [...]
