He’s right and it’s NOT anti-Semitism.

Jews have a national, cultural, and religious identity that is very unusual, and I see that as a positive thing.

The anti-semitism is the knee jerk reaction to think that recognizing that means the Jews are out to take over the world is ludicrous.

The left always reveals what racists, sexists, and anti-semites they are by the comments they make where they are massively projecting..

G-D BLESS.

Gotta take this part by part.

First of all, I’m a practicing, religious JEW (POSTING ON THE SABBATH NOT WITHSTANDING)

“Jews have a national, cultural, and religious identity that is very unusual, and I see that as a positive thing.”

I agree with you, and am glad you see that as a positive thing. I would venture to say that the Jews are the most unusual socio-cultural phenomenon in all history. 25-30 years ago I was at a theology seminar when some smug atheist challenged the panel to “site the slightest evidence of the existence of G-D.” A CATHOLIC BISHOP answered him, “You have only to look at the Jewish People, homeless, scattered to the far corners of the Earth, vilified, persecuted, driven from land to land, reviled, murdered, for century upon century, yet still intact. Still faithful to their G-D, Law and Culture, when other peoples have risen and then disappeared. What could have sustained them but G-D? What more proof does anyone need?(Of course I’m paraphrasing what I remember) The atheist was stunned silent, and the impression it made on me is part of me now. A Jewish theology lesson from a CATHOLIC BISHOP!

So you’re right, it’s all very unusual, but a positive thing. An inspiration for all people of faith.

“The anti-semitism is the knee jerk reaction to think that recognizing that means the Jews are out to take over the world is ludicrous.”

If the Jews are out to take over the world we’re doing one heck of a lousy job of it.

“The left always reveals what racists, sexists, and anti-semites they are by the comments they make where they are massively projecting..”

True, and astute. Unfortunately, even the JEWS seduced by the left are racists, sexists, and anti-semites, and I think that they, and most leftists (except for the true lunatic fringe who really don’t know what’s real or not), know exactly what dishonest hypocrites they are. Most conservatives can accept a person being wrong about something, or in good faith having an opinion that differs from our own, but we can’t abide a lying hypocrite. We know what they are, they are ashamed to be what they are, so they hate us for knowing. Human Nature 101.

KEEP THE FAITH.
