Question:

All humanity is capable of discrimination.

Let’s hope so. Discrimination is just another world for choice. Choice is another word for liberty. Liberty is a world you rarely hear anymore. I guess it makes too many people uncomfortable. If we talked about it we might start realizing how little of it we have left. rAD

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Anti-Semitism simply means discrimination or hostility to Jews. Its a term for a specific type of discrimination and hostility. In modern Western nations discrimination is an illegal act. Minorities were generally the victims of discrimination and hostility. Over the last 2000 years, Jews in the Diaspora have been minorities. BUT and this is important, Jews have chosen to be minorities. * In the very beginning of the book of judges is its sobering calculus of apostasy and punishment. If the people of Israel remain apart from the indigenous population they will be rewarded. Should they attempt to assimilate divine punishment will be swift and severe.  * " The Bible Unearthed" by Finkelstein and Silberman.  Pg.100 Para.2 Judges 2:11-19 The conclusion is that Judaism is the primary cause for discrimination and hostility against Jews. This however does not condone discrimination. But it is an explanation. All humanity is capable of discrimination.

When your religion refers to non-believers with a racial term, it’s only fair that others discriminate against you. Great post. Libertarian National Socialist Green Party @ www.nazi.org

Racism, or for that matter any kind of bigotry, is little more than evidence of criminal intent.  If someone wants to steal, they excuse it on the grounds that the victim of the theft does not deserve what he has for various reasons.  He is Jewish, black, Muslim, a Huguenot, and therefore does not deserve it.  Since he does not deserve it, it belongs to someone else.  If what the victim possesses does not belong to him, then the ‘true’ owner has the right, granted by bigotry, to take away from the undeserving, to repossess, in a word what never belonged to him in the first place. That Jews chose to be a minority is meaningless.  Given the free choice of religions under the condition I had to choose one or the other on an intellectual basis but believing in neither was not an option given the choice of Islam, Catholicism or Judaism, I would choose Judaism as the best of the three.  I think they made a good choice given bad options. A healthy state is always full of minorities.  As James Madison noted in Federalist #10, a healthy state _Protects_ its minorities.  A state like Syria, Nazi Germany, or for that matter Mississippi, that does not protect its minorities is notable mostly for its poverty and corruption.   Bigotry keeps everyone poor because it excuses and gives the imprimatur to the criminality of the ruling class.

Which goes a long way to showing why the majority of Arabs and dirt poor, while at the same time being as a group, the richest on earth. Mickey
