That's a rather novel conclusion to make of the previous statement, but it's yours to make. If you are determined to find witches, you will find witches.
What is a “novel conclusion?” You indicated that you judged Boteach on his words. I agreed and proceeded to judge Donohue on his words as well. Your statement that I’m “determined to find witches” belies my careful and considered analysis of words spoken.
On Avi Lipkin, please go back to my first post where I discuss Evangelical Christians and how they differ from Catholics. But as a general matter, what is your point? So you cite Jews saying xyz. So what? Because they are Jewish does not make them unerring, or as I said earlier monolithic. There are many Jewish viewpoints and many Jews with non-Jewish viewpoints. Ditto Catholics. Ditto Christians. Do you want me to start citing the lousy things Catholics have to say about Mr Donohue because I can. Would that be meaningful? Or is it best to judge him on what he said not what others say about him?
My impression here is that the conversation is over. You ended it. I addressed sources but you made me and my supposed witch hunt the topic. That is not a conversation I am interested in having.
I agree, but don't kid yourself. Your "analysis" has far more to do with what you think than what I wrote.
