(IsraelNN.com) Professor Richard Dawkins, a senior British evolutionary scientist and outspoken atheist, drew fire on Monday for saying that Jews “more or less monopolize American foreign policy.” Religious Jews are a small group, Dawkins said, but are “fantastically successful” in lobbying the US government. Dawkins, who is currently in the US in an attempt to promote atheism and fight religious influence, expressed hope that atheists would be similarly successful in determining government policy.
A number of Jewish leaders responded immediately, with ADL head Abe Foxman calling Dawkin’s remarks “classic anti-Semitism.” Malcom Hoenlein, a senior official in the Conference of Presidents of Major American Organizations, was quoted by Yediot Acharonot as saying the statements represented “the poisoning of the elite.” Even top scientists can “demonstrate ignorance and fall victim to misinformation,” said Hoenlein, adding “This impact spreads within the intellectual community, and then trickles down to the general populace.”
ROFL!
Obviously he meant the religious, Jewish Masons...
I agree with him that the scientific evidence supporting evolution by natural selection is overwhelming. I certainly don't agree with him about the substance of this article. The article just reinforces my view that Dawkins is an obnoxious jerk. As for the professorship endowed by the Microsoft guy, well, my only response is to say that I'm glad I'm a Machead :-)
I love how you put the “r” in front of evolutionary. Good job; and, as you stated, now an accurate statement.
Then maybe you should broaden your horizons. And by the way, I’m ariamne, pleased to make your acquaintance. There, now you’ve met a conservative Jew.
Dawkins isn’t physically crippled, though he regularly refers to people of faith as being -mentally- crippled.
