Q: Why be against assimilation?
A: Jews are taught that they must “Teach their children” to uphold G-d’s covenant with them and not become like the “OTHER” nations, (also called “Goys” or Goyim, aka others or Gentiles).
Q: What about the Holocaust?
A: Jews were killed for being Jews or half Jews or small percentage Jews so they thought they would be spared by assimilating.
Q: Assimilation didn't help?
A: Nope, a Jew is a Jew is a Jew.
Q: Then what should the Jew do?
A: Observe G-d’s laws and not try to be like the “other”.
Q: But Being unique is to be “clanish”, no?
A: G-d set the Jews apart on purpose, He even made them eat very specific foods, (Kosher) in order to keep them apart.
Q: Doesn't that piss off the Gentiles? I mean who the heck do they think they are? Chosen and all that?
A: Yes so they try to destroy G-d’s Chosen, the Holocausts, the Iran, the PLO.
Q: So the Jews must preserve who they are and avoid assimilation?
A: Yes but it is exceeding difficult, the temptations are to great. Many Jews just want to be like everybody else (Gentiles) even though G-d told them to avoid this:

Your post #37 is excellent, but shouldn’t you have listed Karl Marx along with lil’ Siggie Pooh in your closing list of prominent ‘Jews” with conflicts consequent to their confusions?
I feel like you think I have a problem with the Jewish religion. I don’t. My problem is the fact that many American Jewish rabbis (usually reform) actively promote an agenda contrary to Scripture. At a time when social conservative values are under attack, religious conservatives should be united. On one side we have those who believe in God and all his glory and on the other side we have the godless Liberals who only believe in the State.
