It's hard for me to relate to the people he describes in this piece because I'm not Jewish, but he really hits the nail on the head when he cautions about the dangers of "perpetual victimhood" in any group of people.
As thoroughly sympathetic and respectful as I am of bernie’s statement, I’m not at all convinced that he enjoys a lot of real faith in the God of his forefathers. And while faith is s gift - one made all the more difficult to receive when there’s been Horrid tragedy in one’s life, there is no excusing any lack of commitment
to protect and defend the Survivors of that tragedy. Bernie, is there any room in your socialist world view to repair obama’s damage to the Jeeish and Christian peoples and to USA and Israel ? Or would you continue obama’s attacks on America, Israel, and the Church? I’m genuinely open to your response
The Holocaust identity push coupled with a lack of true Torah education (parents’ responsibility) can really screw up a kid.
Bernie’s generation was the first to experience it, then when it came to mine... whoa.
Bernie Sanders is the most successful Jewish candidate for the presidency everHanding the opposition the argument is instant failure.
What, in itself, was the basis of the Jewish religion? Practical need; egoism.That would be Karl Marx.
The monotheism of the Jew, therefore, is in reality the polytheism of the many needs, a polytheism which makes even the lavatory an object of divine law. Practical need, egoism, is the principle of civil society, and as such appears in pure form as soon as civil society has fully given birth to the political state. The god of practical need and self-interest is money.
Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of manand turns them into commodities. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole worldboth the world of men and natureof its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of mans work and mans existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it.
The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange.
Goldwater was Jewish.
