Anti-Semitism is a form of insanity…
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe said
Jews say there is just one God

how dare they challenge
your polytheist beliefs
.
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
go ahead and blame the Jews

IslamoFascists and you
believe the same crazy shit
.
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
blame a small population

deflect your people’s anger
let them feel superior

Slammed the anti-Israel groups, I mean. Not her group.

I think that’s the sort of thing the Brits are talking about. I dated a brilliant woman a couple of years ago who worked in Israel advocacy from a liberal perspective. They sought to negotiate and educate mostly Christian groups who sought anti-Israel policy.

Their biggest obstacle were often Jewish groups who had slammed them as “anti-Semites.” Worst of all, there were Israeli in power who advocated this type of behavior.

Oh, I’d agree with you there.

Forget if they are crimes. I am talking about organizational groups that tar all critics of Israel as anti-Semitic. I don’t find that always honest or helpful. Such reflexive name-calling seeks to shut down discussion, which is suspicious. The ADL does this to some extent, but the Simon Wiesenthal Center is really awful with this. They are shrill as they come. It is a travesty that the Jewish community does not protest when major newspapers allow them to speak on behalf of the Jewish community.

Well, DK, you are a Jew, so surely you have inside information on which to base your suspicion. I am a Jew, too, and I am quite sure that your suspicion is false, since very few Jews feel any need to apologize for Israel’s “crimes” — whether they ought to or not, they don’t feel that need — and those that do are mostly college students who are too intimidated by the overall atmosphere to make accusations of anti-semitism.

So what is it in your experience that is different?

“Britons also tend to suspect that Jews use the charge of anti-Semitism to divert attention from Israel’s crimes.”

Well, quite frankly, I sometimes suspect that as well a little.

Naftali,

I apologize if I misread your intent. FWIW, we Christians have a pretty high view of ourselves in relation to God, too, and I know for a fact that we say and do a lot of things that aren’t popular. Of course, that has nothing to do with Europe, but I guess it’s worth saying. From what I’ve noticed, wherever the Jews have been throughout history they seem to have been a blessing to any nation that tolerated them. America has done this; most nations throughout the past haven’t. In fact, I’m having a hard time coming up with very many at all. Maybe some of the Eastern European countries such as Poland or the Scandinavian countries?

“I have [no] contempt,” it should read.

Hokie my views on Non-Jews are rather more complex that what can be conveyed in one sentence of my writings. I suggest that take them all into account.

Non-Jews are called Bnei Noach, when Torah wishes to speak about who they are.
And Goyim, when Torah wishes to speak only to that they are not Jews.

I have contempt whatever towards non-Jews, I meant “who are they” relative to Jews.

We have an unbelievable sense of our own importance, I hope that that does not bother you to much. As it happens though Torahs sees mankind (non Jews) in much higher terms than mankind sees itself.

Mankind is higher not only than how he is portrayed by evolutionists but also than how he is portrayed by the Cristian faith. Jews are not properly part of mankind, but rather part of man kinds creator “You are children of the Lord your G-d”.

I hope you can live with that.

At any rate, I have come to respect you.
