Michael Jackson's Kids are...Jewish

Will wonders never stop?

Another lengthy legal battle involving Michael Jackson seems to over, as the popstar and his ex-wife Debbie Rowe have reached a settlement in their ongoing child custody battle.

Attorneys representing the former couple have said that they've settled their three-year custody battle over their two children, nine-year-old Prince Michael Jackson Jr. and eight-year-old Paris Michael Katherine Jackson...Lawyers for both sides declined to comment on any details...Since Jackson was rung up on child molestation charges in 2003, Rowe has been seeking to reinstate her rights to visit their two children after giving up custody in 2001...Rowe and Jackson tied the knot in 1996 and were officially divorced by 2000..."Everything changed," Rowe said in a declaration after requesting temporary custody in 2003. In addition to the charges filed against her ex, she cited Jackson's association with members of the Nation of Islam, a group whose leader she feared was anti-Semitic.

"I am Jewish, as are-by definition-my children.

I worried about how my children would be treated by these new advisers to Michael," Rowe said.


Yes, okay, she's Jewish (she says) but let's get back to Michael.

His ex-wife, Debbie Rowe claims that he is not the biological father of Prince Michael Jr. and Paris. The kids are said to have been conceived through artificial insemination. Rowe claims that, although the singer knows the truth, he still insists not to reveal the children the identity of their mother.

"Michael knows the truth - that he is not the natural father of Prince Michael Jr. and Paris. He has to come clean. I have no information whatsoever about the identity of the semen donor for either child as such (semen) was obtained anonymously from a semen bank under an agreement of confidentiality."



Now, besides discovering Deborah is Jewish, what's really wondrous about this?

Well, back in 1995, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said it was deeply troubled by the anti-Jewish epithets in a song on Michael Jackson's new album, "HIStory."

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director issued the following statement:

We are deeply troubled by the anti-Jewish lyrics in Michael Jackson's new song, "They Don't Care About Us." At best, if the lyrics were intended to be a protest against prejudice as Mr. Jackson claims, then they were inartfully crafted and can easily be misunderstood and misused.

At worst, his use of anti-Jewish epithets and stereotypes casts doubt on Mr. Jackson's explanation that his song was intended to be a statement against all forms of hatred. The words are hateful and hurtful, and hate is too serious a subject for subtleties. Why single out Jews?


Here's some more on his anti-Jewish outbursts.

Poor Michael.

Poor Debbie.

Poor kids.
