In my opinion, Emile makes the same claim that others have made about Russians, Germans, Catholics and others who have persecuted Jews over the years.

For example, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen indicts all Germans for the Holocaust as you claim Emile has done with the atheist "Jews" in Communist Russia.

After all, many of the Communists were, at least, in fact Jews at one time.

One cannot claim that a Jew is a Jew if he or she is born of a Jewish Mother, and remains so indefinitely unless they convert to another faith. To say that Marx (one example) was not a Jew when it is convienent to say so is not consistent with the faith and leads others to distruct those who are inconsistent.

I am of the opinion that Jews try to put themselves in the best light in the media and anyone who does not speak or write glowingly about Jews or a Jew who does bad things, is immediately labeled an "anti-semite" [sic]. This is what I sense when Emile posts articles that are not so glowing about Jews, Isra'El, or Zionism.

If you find Emile's behavior repulsive, you could also find others who tread on others to embellish events, monopolize terms and genocidal history, or manipulate for political or economic reasons as repulsive as well.

PS In my take, German Jews, voluntarily or not, restricted themselves to certain occupations. They stuck together, worked hard and amassed wealth.

When the German economy was collapsing, the Jews who had their own economic structure and socail cohesion, internationally as well as in Germany, were still prospering and thriving, which drew the wrath of the German people who were slowly going broke.

Hitler's monomania took care of the rest.
