Too Funny. "Evangelical" christians are content to cheer the Jews in Israel, whom they see as a catspaw against Islam.

But when Jews here in the U.S. evince a distrust of these same evangelicals' proselytizing efforts, suddenly they're "anti-christian bigots"!

Man, you can't even MAKE this stuff up!

As a jewish woman I get the feeling that some won't be happy until there are NO jews left in the world.

That's EXACTLY what I don't understand. It also works the other way.

I remember when Pat Robertson (I know - he's a goof) was having those fundraisers for Russian Jews to move to Israel after the USSR dissolved. I thought "Wow - the Jews must really like this guy." About a week later, I heard someone on TV calling him "anti-semitic" for one reason or another.

Call me critical or un-PC, but you just can't win with liberal Jews. Some Christians bend over backwards for them, only to be slapped in the face.

Explain one thing to me. One can be an atheist (like Einstein), but still be considered Jewish. One can even be anti-Israel (like Chomsky), but still be considered Jewish. There are some people born to Jewish parents, and dabble in New Age religions, but are still recognized as Jews.

Why is it that Messianic Jews are uniquely singled out, and denied the right by some Jewish groups, to call themselves Jews?

Excellent observation!
