THERE IS ONE good thing about anti-Semitism: It lets you know who the bad guys are. Right, left, black, white, freak or straight, the minute someone starts rattling on about the evil Jews, you know your train just pulled into Slimeball Station.
All bigotry is wrong, of course, but there's something about this particular form of prejudice that's weirdly reliable as a sign of deeper wickedness. Perhaps it's because the Jews contributed so much to humanity's moral code that to hate them as a race is to despise the restraints of morality itself
Whatever the reason, true, virulent anti-Semitism is such a good indicator of the presence of evil that I'm tempted to believe that when God made the Jews his chosen people, this is what he chose them for: to be a sort of Villainy Early Detection System for everyone else.
Unfortunately, in his infinite love for his creation, I suspect the Big Guy may have overestimated our intelligence. Maybe he thought that after Hitler we'd just, you know, like, get it. Instead, we still see apparently intelligent people appeasing, making excuses for and even embracing the sorts of stinkers who ought to set off the Big Alarm.
That's why I think the system could use more bells and whistles a loud honking noise perhaps, or closed captioning for the morally impaired. Thus, when Iranian President Ahmadinejad says the Holocaust is a "myth" or Israel "must be wiped off the map," you would hear a loud honk and words would appear in the air below his face: "Hello. I am an evil madman. Please stop negotiating with me now and proceed to cripple my nuclear capability by any means necessary."

Simply code, any Jewobsessive posting here picked it up immediately.
"Thank You for taking them under your wing...and showing them the truth about firearms. I've had this dicussion on more than one occassion with Jewish friends who are virulently anti-gun. I just don't understand how they can be anti-self-defense....after all that history"
Don't debate them and tell them why they]'re wrong - take them to the range (with appropriate eye and ear protection) and let them see for themselves why they hate guns. Odds are they'll go and buy one later.
"This is Old Testament. New Testament says "He who rejects Me also rejects the one who sent me." and this little gem: "Whosoever rejects me in front of men, so shall I reject Him on the day of Judgement in the Father's presence"."
The Jewish view is that man doesn't need any intercession between God and Man. Also, we aren't going to take the word of some "apostle" that the "eternal covenant" isn't.
Replacement theology - one of the ideological basis of anti-semitism - rears it's head on a thread about the same subject. Nice!
It's not so odd -- the Jews chose G-D.
" Right on. I'm so sick of this Jewish Supremacist garbage. Does any Gentile really think about how atrociously arrogant the belief that the Jews are God's chosen is? That means anyone who is not a Jew (Gentiles) are not God's chosen ones. If the Gentiles are not God's chosen, what is their status? Soulless trash? Useful idiots?"
It's a burden, not a privilige.
"If the Gentiles are not God's chosen, what is their status? Soulless trash? Useful idiots?"
That is inflammatory, accusatory, misguided, mean, and plain wrong. Do you really think that's how Jews see others?
Ha! Go, Jews!!!

Deliberate mistranslation. Please don't go repeating this stuff, you'll only make yourself look like a dumb as a box of rocks stormfront type.

RESPONSE (1) This represents a lack of knowledge of Hebrew at a most fundamental level. Here, the anti-Semites claim that Adam means human but it really means man. "Yetsoor" is the Hebrew word for human. Jews are referred to by the singular form of man, Adam, whilst non-Jews are referred to by the plural form of man, or anasheem. Both forms of the word mean human, but one is single, the other is plural. The reason that Jews are referred to in the singular is that if one Jew does something bad, or is alleged to have, all Jews are blamed for it. So, for the wrongdoing or alleged wrongdoing of one, all suffer. In the case of non-Jews, only individuals suffer, not all of the non-Jews. So that is why Jews are referred to as a single person and non-Jews are referred to in the plural. David S. Maddison (maddison@connexus.net.au)
RESPONSE (2) (Also, see other responses elswhere.) Apparently a deliberate mistranslation. The passage deals with the technical rules of corpse-impurity which, according to the author of this text, apply to Jews and not to gentiles. In this connection Ezekiel 34:31 is cited: "And ye My sheep [referring to Israel], the sheep of My pasture, are _men [Hebrew: "adam"]_, and I am your God, saith the Lord God." From a careful midrashic reading of this Biblical verse, Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai deduced "Only "ye" [i.e., Israel, not other nations] are designated "adam," in the sense that only Jewish corpses and graves generate impurity according to Numbers 19:14: "This is the law: when a _man ['adam']_ dieth in a tent, every one that cometh into the tent...shall be unclean seven days..." The passage is legal and exegetical, not theological. If anything, it seems to put Jews on a lower footing than non-Jews. Typically, the words "but beasts" were added on by whoever put this list together. They do not appear in the original.

GMTA! :)
Very nice.
Very nice.
Great article and from the LA Times!
Excellent commentary! Thanks for posting this. Methinks therein lies much truth.
Click on links in post 84.
I clicked on the links and googled - see no reference to palestians with respect to the ollywood Presbyterian Church. Disagreement appears to be style of service and $800,000+ church deficit - what am I missing?
Readings from the Koran and prayers to Allah by the Prebytery officials don't give you a hint?
