Waldman: Jews were always expose to both physical destruction and religious persecution by both the Christian crusades and the Islamic Jihad...[and] Hitler drew his ideology from Christian sources...[who] eagerly became Hitler's partner in planning the "final solution" for the Jews.

FIghter: Rabbi Waldman is a pompous, bigot who would rather pronounce a sweeping indictment of millions of Christians

Millions of Christians have not participated in the Crusades. The anti-Jewish edicts are well documented: they started right in the IV century.

Your statement, therefore, is false and name-calling unfounded.

through lies and distortions Which?

that ironically would make Dr. Goebbels proud. Pretty low on the part of an F16Fighter --- if you are indeed one.

You take one statement of one Rabbi, which indeed may contain errors, and equate it with the person who spent his life, 24-7, fine-tuning the Nazi propaganda machine.

I doubt very much you would compare Falwell to Hitler if you found that Falwell misspoke on something. I am sure that if a non-Christian made such a comparison, you would feel offended. Why do you do onto others that which you would not want to be done onto yourself?

It is interesting to observe also how much fervor this letter elicited on this thread: this is just one Rabbi, not even prominent, who happens to have written a letter to our president. You know ---- just like a lot of schoolchildren do. Even if you disagree with some words he said -- what's the big deal? Why not to leave it at what it is: that you think this Rabbi is wrong? When writing this letter, he does not represent even those 20 people he may have in his congregation; most certainly he is not speaking for the Jews as a people or Israel as a state.

Quite frankly, when anyone attempts to equivocate and link "Christianity" with Adolf Hitler, while also accusing the two entities of being in "partnership in planning the Final Solution" for Jews, THAT, sir/madame is slander of millions, upon millions of people in the name of making political hay. But who cares, as long as the end justifies the means, eh?

Propaganda is propaganda, whether it is one word, one sentence, or ONE paragraph from the lips of Joseph Goebeels OR Rabbi Waldman.

If you don't appreciate my pronouncement, then help yourself to more kool-ade -- you're a quart low.
