From what I know the Torah emphasizes hard work, personal responsibility and private property so it’s clear why anti-capitalist socialists and anarchists would hate those who follow the Torah (Jews). Your guess is as good as mine.
Yehuda, what other reasons would you give for why socialists (esp. socialism’s philosophers) would hate Jews and Judaism so much? I’m not too familiar with the Torah or Talmud but I know if all the early socialists and today’s socialists and leftists hate Jews the way they do there must be a reason. What do you think?
I’ve read the Torah and see no place where it is one of the foundations of capitalism. On the contrary, it condemns usury, without specifying what exactly that constitutes.
So now that the whole world is up in arms about Israel defending itself from the Hamas-al-qaeda terror flotilla all the leftists and socialists are out bashing Israel again. But looking at their history what reason would anyone have to think differently?
