<< "Despite the Communists' vows to eradicate anti-Semitism, it spread rapidly after the Revolution -- partly because of the prominence of so many Jews in the Soviet administration, as well as in the traumatic, inhuman Sovietization drives that followed." >> You've caught my attention, and I will do further research into Jewish influence during Russia's revolution. I've never contended that all Jews are without sin, or contended that certain Jews haven't committed some pretty serious crimes. Each race and religion has blood on it's hands, and it's share of guilt. Take the Crusades, or the Spanish Inquisition for examples. Today's Jews, or Christians, or Hindus should not be judged by sins of the fathers, unless they continue to commit those sins, and only the guilty ones should be blamed. There are so many anti-Semitic and antiAmerican hate notes written, that it is difficult to tell when someone is being honest, and not just hateful, or subversive. |
