UPDATE: Heeb responds:

Like it or not--and over the seven years we've been publishing Heeb we've found that many do not, but the simple fact remains:


This is how Jews talk to Jews.


FROM PAGE SIX:
COURTNEY Love claims she's not taking drugs anymore, but you wouldn't know it from comments she made in the Jewish magazine Heeb. Love, whose mother is Jewish but who describes herself as Buddhist, says of ex-husband Kurt Cobain's legacy: "Every time you buy a Nirvana record, part of that money is not going to Kurt's child, or to me, it's going to a handful of Jew loan officers, Jew private banks, it's going to lawyers who are also bankers . . ." The former Hole singer also mused on why she's given up playing in an all-girl band: "Like, there are [bleep]ing riot grrls sitting there banging on pots and pans and talking about their vaginas, and that's all really lovely, but the music blows."

Whatever did Kurt see in that crazy girl? Oh wait...Nevermind. (No pun intended) He was unstable as well. I was so heartbroken when Kurt died, I almost blamed her but now I see that she's just a sick kid, too and left on her own to raise a child without a father. I hope she gets help.

I kind of feel sorry for her. She has led such a painful life. Maybe that pain started as a child and maybe she hates her mother. I just don't know. Even though her comments are offensive, you have to wonder where they are coming from.

Feel sorry for her little girl too. I don't think she has probably had a very stable life either.

Ah Courtney.... I enjoyed Live Through This, you've taken some good photos, I liked you in Flynt. But I'm so glad I don't live next to you. Your honesty is refreshing, even intoxicating, but it would be hell to be your PR person.
It will interesting to see how Frances does when she's out by herself.

What of waste of space. God help her daughter.

Well there are good people and bad people of every persuasion aren't there? Perhaps the Jewish people who embody intelligence and compassion, as well as honesty and a right thinking philosophy to life and also tolerance for others should stand up and speak up, to control the excess and greed that can befall any group of people. It doesn't take a new Elijah to figure that out.... does it?

if you look back on her "career" you will see the few easy steps it takes to destroy it.

this woman is the train wreck that keeps on giving.

Do you?

She tries.

Why is there such a magazine titled "H..B", isn't it like having a magazine title "Ni..er"? American Jewery is far too sophisticated/enlightened to let this happen. This should be stopped.

Really? Its been around for seven years and someone is buying it. I read a lot and never heard of it before. Perhaps if I were more "heeb-aware", perhaps I would have heard of it sooner.
If the magazine was not profitable for at least someone it would quietly go away.

It's a magazine for Jews,written,staffed an published by Jews.They're taking a derogatory term and using at as a point of pride.

Why are so many Americans such oblivious mouthbreathers?

Courtney Love facinates me! She is such a train wreck, an embarrassment to herself and anyone around her! Yet...
She is beautiful (when she is cleaned up) and she does have some talent (again, when she is cleaned up)
It is a wonder how she has survived this long with the life style she has led. I would really like to see her get her act together and her head on straight and become a productive soul! Seems like she would have alot to offer! (again if she would get -and stay clean)

Why would Heeb put her on the cover of their magazine? Is she putting out a new album, a new movie, starting a charity? I mean it's hard not to read about the car wreck that is Courtney Love but she just seems completely irrelevent nowadays.

well, she has tapped into something that I am seeing going on in just regular conversation

it is not so much spoken as subtext

I think Maddoff did more to set back tolerance and encourage anti Semitism -- he did more damage than we can possibly quantify, even though many of his victims were also Jewish.

I so agree. It alarms me, in particular as now it seems that anyone with a Jewish name associated with a scam seems to jump out, but all races, colors and creeds have their share of scam artists and, in fact, most frequently victimize their own.

I see an escalation of anti-Semitism from this financial crisis, that is why Maddoff is as much an evil criminal as Hitler to me. He even destroyed his own sister. I think financia and other type of laws should have "special circumstances" clauses where you hang for victimizing your own.

This folks, is not a Buddhist. Practicing Buddhists avoid hateful speech. Too many claim to know the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. Ms. Love, I'm afraid, would dissapoint him. But then again, he'd still have compassion for her.

Quite sad.

Just the kind of girl you want to bring home to meet mommy.

I liked some of Hole's music and even saw them live but Courtney is such a crab it's hard to take.
