It is very frustrating. The secular “Jewish” mindset is an incoherent mass of contradictions, becasue it’s really a collection of prejudices brought over from eastern Europe by their immigrant grandparents at the beginning of the 20th century. You need to understand (though not condone) that most secular are not remotely observant and many could not tell you anything significant about their supposed religion.
They came over here because of being persecuted in Russia & Poland, so when Bolshevism triumphed in Russia, they all supported it (and still do) because the czar was their enemy, which to them made Lenin et al their friend(s). When (prior to the 1960s) they were kept out of universities and medical schools by a quota system against Jews, and were denied jobs for which they were eminently qualified, entry into hotels, resorts, country clubs, when they weren’t allowed to buy real estate in “restricted” areas of upscale Westchester and other NY/CT suburbs, they developed a loathing for what they perceived to be the WASP establishment. It all comes from this.
bumpo:
I think you might have a point here... It definatley makes sense because I am from a very WASP town and I know they hate the Jews and the Jews can’t stand them...
I could never figure out the root cause, but you may have enlightened me...
