‘THE LAST ACCEPTABLE PREJUDICE’

The "new" anti-Semitism is as virulent as ever, but it's often easy for Americans — Christian and Jew alike — not to notice.

Christians and Jews get along here. Evangelical Christians have become some of the best friends Jews have, and, for their part, most Jews are not as suspicious of Evangelical motives as they once were. Since the anti-Semites abroad regard America as the great Satan and Israel the little Satan, we all feel equal-opportunity hate.

[yonif]

I'm getting concerned about the rapidly increasing amount of racism/religionism present in the Jewish community against non jews. Its a problem that is not being addressed in the media or on this forum.

Can you provide some examples?

[PigRigger]

"Along with prejudice against Christianity, firearms, constitutionalists, marriage, white men, husbands of all colors and conservatism."

I second that! No doubt about it.

[Cyber Liberty]

Sure. I see you badgering another poster in a hypersensitive way -- picking at what was said -- because someone's feelings may be hurt....

If you need further elaboration, you are beyond any help I could offer.

"the soft racism of low expectations"

[Stu Cohen]

Sure. I see you badgering another poster in a hypersensitive way -- picking at what was said -- because someone's feelings may be hurt....

My feelings were in no way hurt.

I asked some followup questions to a post that struck me as odd. This seems a logical thing to do on a Free Republic Message Board. No?

If you need further elaboration, you are beyond any help could offer.

Does this reflect an excessive need for help on my part, or a deficient ability to provide it on your part?

[StolarStorm]

Sure. This article for one. For others, just read the Pollard threads.

[Binyamin]

Will you quantify the 'rapidly' in "rapidly increasing?"

There have been about a milion threads here about Mel Gibson's new movie. So what else is it that you feel is not being addressed?

Want to give some other examples of "racism/religionism present in the Jewish Community" that is being ignored in the media and on Free Republic? Are they beating up Christians in the streets? Vandalizing churches? Kidnapping little Christian toddlers in order to drain out their blood for the Passover matzah?

Hint: the excrementitious droolings of the ADL, AJC, RAC, PFAW and other ultra-liberal organization DO NOT REPRESENT THE ENTIRE JEWISH COMMUNITY.

Actually Israel was one of the few nations to stay neutral, despite US pressure.

[SJackson]

The main points I saw her making:

Christians and Jews get along here. Evangelical Christians have become some of the best friends Jews have…

Anti-Semitism is no longer the preserve of the Ku Klux Klan…at home are nurtured now on the left, by domestic radicals allied with the usual suspects abroad

Islamic reactionaries and Western intellectuals and progressives who may disagree on every other subject have agreed that Israel and America are the cause of all evil. Israel has fast become the Jew of the world - scorned, scapegoated, demonized and attacked

Some of the enemies she identifies are familiar. Noam Chomsky… Edward Said

The American and European Left have made a marriage in hell with their Islamic terrorist counterparts."

-------------------

What’s the problem to be addressed on the forum, attacking the KKK, the left, Islamic reactionaries, Noam Chomsky or Edward Said.

[StolarStorm]

Primarily on this forum. Some posters seem obsessed with posting articles that make most gentiles out to be bigots. I'm getting tired of it and I'm not 100% gentile either. It's starting to get out of hand. Just yesterday, I read on a thread that the USA wants to kill Jews.... what a load of cr*p. Some of the Israel centric posters need to do some serious introspection and root out their own bigotry. Bigotry begets bigotry.

I'm also still waiting for the Pollard supporters to campaign for the release of other traitors. But they won't. Because their support for him mostly stems from what country he helped and his religion. Not what he did. Anyone who supports him needs to have their head examined.

[Binyamin]

the excrementitious droolings...

LOL! That's a keeper. Peristalsis reversus!

[Stu Cohen]

I can not honestly say that the United States and the overhwlming marjority of the people here have been anything but wonderful to myself and family.

For the record, I do not detect any "increasing" anti-semetism in this country. I will admit to not actively seeking it out, however.

There are now, always have been, and always will be people who do not like other groups of people. That is an inevitable consequence of human freedom and the will to choose. I find that trying to force people to like another group, or ostracizing them because they do not, has never in the history of mankind converted the opinion of one single person. Rather, it more often that not reinforces that person's opinion.

Let them be. Let them like who they wish, and dislike who they wish. Wringing hands over who or who may not like you is a waste of time that could otherwise be better spent.

Just be a good person and do the right thing yourself. It is not our job to judge others.

[StolarStorm]

"Hint: the excrementitious droolings of the ADL, AJC, RAC, PFAW and other ultra-liberal organization DO NOT REPRESENT THE ENTIRE JEWISH COMMUNITY." Just like the Islamofascists and others don't represent the vast majority of Gentiles... However we keep seeing thread after thread after thread from yonif and others about the various evil Gentiles being bigoted toward Jews. We got the point already.

[Binyamin]

I don't know of any posters who make gentiles out to be bigots. If I did I would ignore them.

I think the fact that president Bush is driving a policy guaranteed to destroy Israel may complicate perceptions.

As for Pollard, that topic has been debated ad nauseum.

[Cyber Liberty]

Let's say that I am deficient at what is required.

Take it as you will. I predict you will call me "stupid", claim victory and dance a nice little jig.

Then, I'll know you're really a Democrat.

[adam_az]

Humorously, the Neo-Commies like to portray the ADL as a fanatical Neo-Conservative organization.

[Alouette]

However we keep seeing thread after thread after thread from yonif and others about the various evil Gentiles being bigoted toward Jews.

First you said in your previous post that these "topics (of alleged Jewish "racism" against non-Jews) are never addressed in this forum." Now you say we keep seeing thread after thread and you're sick of it.

Make up your mind.

[adam_az]

"Just yesterday, I read on a thread that the USA wants to kill Jews...."

That's because Bush is coddling Palestinian terrorists, just as much as he adopted the DNC platform as his domestic agenda.

Next!

[adam_az]

"Take it as you will. I predict you will call me "stupid", claim victory and dance a nice little jig."

Accusing other people of things without being able to point to specific examples isn't stupid, it's ignorant.

Take that as you will.
