Nobody's Right If Everybody's Wrong-Stop Hate Mongering

1. The indifference of the Europeans and inability or lack of will, caused the holocaust, which in turn, made conditions ripe for the return of the Jews to Jerusalem.

2. Everyone has to get along in this world. Everyone has to play in the sandbox and the kids that throw sand in each others face have to be reprimanded, whomever they are.

3. Muslim/Jew/Arab bashing is the work of people who cannot think of one sane idea to make the situation better, not worse.

4. "Every nation, every individual, has unpleasant and dangerous qualities, it would be cruel to require the Jews to be an exception...F. Nietzsche.

That being said, I would hope that "people who live in glass houses, ought not throw stones".

2. I never knew Nietzche said that.

Good quote. I think a lot of the reasons for the Israel-bashing and Jewish-bashing, were born way back with Christian hatred. Jews make a very easy target.

I recently saw an excellent documentary on PBS analyzing the New Testament with a rather cold, clinical eye. Great scholars analyzed down to the smallest particle the books of the New Testament. Whom they were written by, when, why, and what they tell. The documentary tells a very interesting story: that what began as a conflict between one small Jewish/pagan group that idolized whoever Christ was, and another group consisting of the majority of Jews, ended up with hatred.

The documentary tells that false stereotypes of Jews were written into the New Testament books, and completely unsubstantiated and false accusations were made. For example, one of the most knowledgeable Jewish groups, in fact, the one that helped Judaism be carried onward to today after the Roman destruction of the Second Temple, were the Pharisees. They were wonderful in that respect, as they helped Jewish people continue on despite the destruction of the Second Temple. However, in the New Testament, the Pharisees are accused of being unethical and doing heinous things. Scholars claim that this, as well as other ways in which the New Testament books speak badly of Jews, is because the Pharisees refused to part with their beliefs, and went as far as accusing the Christ group, of being non-Jews. The Pharisees often shunned the group that believed Christ was god. The Christ group then removed themselves or were thrown out of synagogues. This set the stage for speaking ill of Jews. As time went on, Jews were persecuted, tortured, their belongings stolen, were accused of things they did not do, and were murdered, adults and children alike, no exception made.

I find it all very horrible.
