"Yeah, there's certainly been a rash of synagogues burning in America since The Passion came out...."

In last June's Los Angeles Times editorial piece, Mel's Passion, Rabbi Marvin Hier wrote:

"Globally, antisemitism is at its highest peak since the end of World War II. Synagogues and Jewish schools have been firebombed and Jews beaten on the streets of France and Belgium. According to some recent polls, 17% of Americans (up from 12% five years ago) hold to political and economic stereotypes about Jews; 37% hold Jews responsible for the death of Jesus. On the Internet as well as in print media around the world, the new demonization of Israelis as Nazi-like oppressors is fusing with the old libel of the Jews as "Christ killers." A cartoon in the Italian newspaper La Stampa (see above left) depicted an Israeli tank rolling up to a manger with little baby Jesus staring up in horror and crying out, 'Do you want to kill me once more?'"

Weren't you on another thread yesterday preaching the evil deeds done by Catholics the past 2000 years?


So you think you are talking to the Lutherans today, who will be on your list tomorrow?
