If you look back at the history of my posts, I have many times noted that the majority of Jews in America are liberal. Although, I would probably call these people liberals and not Jews. However, I do so when appropriate, you seem to have an obsession with it and point it out in every single thread.

You also seem to have a dislike for Jews in general. If someone says that Jews are generally non-violent, you quickly respond with something about Communists. If someone were to say that Christians were non-violent and a Jewish person were to say that they were and that the Nazis were an example of this you would accuse this person of being anti-Christian; and you would be right, the Nazis were in no way Christians.

The difference between you and me, is that I don't blame Judaism for the Jewish liberals, I blame liberalism. There is nothing in the Jewish holy book that would make someone be pro-abortion, I know I have read their holy book. The liberals in the United States are not liberal because of Christianity or Judaism (and there are many more liberals in this country who claim to be Christian than Jewish), rather they are liberal in spite of Judaism and Christianity.

I agree with you 100% that we are not taught enough about the tens of millions of people killed by the Communists. But the Communists certainly weren't Jews. Did the Communists qoute the Old Testament when they massacred, did the Nazis qoute the New Testament when they massacred?- of course not. The evil forces in this sense were Naziism and Communism, not Judaism or Christianity.

In the same vein I do blame Osama Bin Laden and his ilk on Islam. Islam is what inspired the hijackers, and it is what inspires the Palestinians, and all the other radical Muslims in the world. Islam is an evil force just like Naziism and Communism.

To blame the tens of millions of deaths under Communism on Judaism is not only wrong, but can only be achieved through a selective reading of history of someone with an agenda.

I blame liberalism too. If you look at my posts, I bring up what I do when others are attacked. Don't feel like sitting back and hearing about how IBM and the Catholic Church aided and abetted the Holocaust without mentioning what the other side did. There is a thread right now that is typical. Our loyal ally Turkey is being trashed for what happened to Armenians 80 odd years ago. The reason for the trashing? One Turkish politician made one stupid comment about Israel. Rather than ignore the comment, Israel and many on FR are making a big deal of it. An incredibly stupid move as Turkey has been friendly to Israel and is the voice of separating church and state in the region.
