But the Abe Foxmans and the David Dukes of this world have their own paranoias and agendas.
You guys are right about where the anti-semitism seems to come from---
I would add politicians, big time---I have heard more anti-semitism on the Senate floor than I can believe---Fritz Hollings, Byrd, some of the others ---have come right out and said that the only reason we went into Iraq was to save the Jews of Israel---
And of course they have the "new" word "neocon" to include anyone that is Pro-Israeli or pro-Jewish and accuses them of being sneaky and liars---
I would say the Universitys and Washington (from what I read and see) are the worst purveyors, but like you said xJones, Foxman doesn't help the cause--
"A Christian anti-semite should be the prime example of an oxymoron."
Indeed.
- The Saviour was a jew and his father was a jew. Your God.
- He had no father, says Martin. That'll do now. Drive ahead.
- Whose God? says the citizen.
- Well, his uncle was a jew, says he. Your God was a jew. Christ was a jew like me.
Gob, the citizen made a plunge back into the shop.
- By Jesus, says he, I'Il brain that bloody jewman for using the holy name. By Jesus, I'll crucify him so I will.
James Joyce: Ulysses
Jesus wasn't just born Jewish. He lived, died, and lived again as a Jew.
He never considered himself as anything else.
(Besides, if he was Christian, he'd have worshipped himself.)
