Well I was reading about the IDF shelling a journalist in 2008 when I stumbled upon a curious footnote that led me to http://www.jta.org. The site is a news for jews site that I had never heard of and apparently there are thousands of them out there and their numbers grow with every passing day. Anyway the footnote was obviously erroneous because it just brought up the 'jta' main page, atop which I found this:

"In new Tarantino film, Jews exact revenge on Nazis"
By Simcha Weinstein · July 19, 2009

"Eli Roth, one of Tarantino's "basterds" and also director of the "Hostel" horror movies, said the notion of Jews getting even with Hitler was "kosher porn."

"It's something I dreamed since I was a kid," Roth said.

In the movie, Roth gets to live out his childhood fantasy: He plays the baseball bat-swinging "Bear Jew," who some of the film's Nazis believe is really a vengeful golem."

The article goes on to express a disdain for "wimpy" jews in films...

""The Hebrew Hammer" (2003), starring Adam Goldberg, paved the way for a new kind of swaggering Jewish hero on film. He's sexy because he's Jewish, not in spite of it.

The movie plays with African-American and Jewish cultural touchstones: The Hammer drives a pimped-out white Cadillac with Magen David headlights; his license plate reads "L'Chaim"; and his fuzzy dice are dreidels.

After saving some Jewish children from older Christian bullies, he tells them solemnly, "Stay Jewish." The result is the first "Jewsploitation" film."

and...

"More swaggering Hebrew heroes turned up in other comedies like "Hot Rod" (2007), in which Andy Samberg stars as an Evel Knievel-inspired stuntman -- not exactly a profession commonly chosen by Jews.

Meanwhile, Adam Sandler starred in "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" (2008), about a former Mossad agent who dreams of becoming a hairdresser.

Jews with attitude aren't restricted to comedies, but they aren't seen very often in dramas, either, except in movies such as "Raid on Entebbe," made back in 1977."

Holy shit...

Shall we attack the message board?
