I’m afraid I don’t understand your animus.

If it’s based on the New Testament, it’s Christianity.

Either political party can be prone to Jew-hate. Jews may simply be picking the one that has more Jews in it, not because they believe one is morally superior. Quite the opposite.

That's the point. Some forms of chr*stianity are murderous, some are harmless. To simply have a negative reaction to "public chr*stianity" (outside of a Torah context) is to engage in stereotyping based on ignorance.

Yes, that's true, but the fact that it's true is not a good thing. Three hundred years ago almost all Jews lived in a self-governing Theocratic entity under the authority of the Rabbinate. Then enlightenment fever came along and brought about the unnatural situation we find ourselves today, where secular figures, organizations, and publications claim to represent the "official Jewish community." That this crowd is now accepted as the "Jewish leadership" (and their presence in the Democrat party makes it "the Jewish party") is a tragedy.

Rabbi 'Asher Meza is definitely outside the mainstream, but I nevertheless appreciate his attitude towards multi-generational secular Jewish "leadership."
