Isolation or exile, which is better?

ALL:

I just asked this question in another thread...but I will ask again. A friend of mine asked me why the jews seem to be hated by everyone all over the world.....I never really thought about it....anyone have an answer for her??

Arafat, accustomed to close brushes with death during his long career as a guerrilla leader and statesman, remained defiant and in high spirits.

Can't you just "feel the love" that Reuters has for Arafat? So touching.

He has hardened his heart. He has decided to be a martyr like the suicide bombers. What doth hinder him ?

[week 71]

Arafat spent the night in darkness

Wait until this man dies...then he will really see the darkness.

Looks easy to me. All he has to to is grab an AK-47 and run out the door of his office firing at IDF soldiers. There you have it - instant martyrdom!!

I am not making up this latest item from Ha'aretz:

"19:29 IDF denies that soldiers took control of 2 television stations in Ramallah and broadcast pornographic movies"

Can't the Pal propagandists do better than this?

Because, almost as a whole, the Jewish folks strive and they succeed. They are above average in creativity and talents. They made a desert bloom like a rose while others wallow in sand and self-pity.

They have a work ethic and place great value on education. Their religion is positive, not debasing and stifling to each member.

Individuals, tribes and nations whose citizens on the whole are the opposite of the above become envious and hateful. Lack of positive moral training, competitiveness and ambitiousness stifles all but the most remote chance of success.

That's the briefest and best I can do!

You always hate your scapegoats and the best scapegoats are the small but successful minorities in your midst. Blame them for causing your (not you specifically) failure with their success. Blame them for stealing jobs from honest hardworking natives of whereever. Blame them for lending money to entrepreneurs and then having the gall to ask for compensation.

Jews aren't actually the only people that receive this treatment, but they are one of the only ones who don't have some humongous territorial nation to go back to. The Indians in East Africa were in a similar situation (being successful amidst poverty) and so were the Chinese in Malaysia (If I recall correctly).

Anti-Semitism is the result of contrasting a failed (ex: Arab) or failing (ex: Weimar German) culture with a successful one and pushing the cause of failure away from its source to asuage the political demands of the functionally illiterate. (ex: German ditch diggers resenting Jewish merchants/Arabs with 21 large territorial shitholes of nations, et alia).

I only hate the 85% that are liberals . But that's because I hate ALL liberals

BTW My family Doc and EYE Doc are both conservative and have concealed carry permits and hate Clinton

[demkicker]

For shame! You forgot the obligatory Reuters BARF ALERT!

[LarryM]

Jews are hated for the same reason Americans are hated. They are a relatively small group of overachievers that do things their own way, with their own system of moral values.

Reuters is on of the top Terrorist lovers, they are totaly on the side of the terrorist.
