Josephus was a famous Jewish fighter who held out against the romans, participated in a suicide pact, and at the last momment could not kill himself. He was turncoat. A man who needed to justify his cowardice and treachery by criticizing those he abandoned.

Josephus wrote only two books that I'm aware of - The Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews. Can you tell me which your quote is from? Also each of the books is divided into sections (books) - which are you quoting from?

Assuming for the moment the quote is valid, I suspect he was simultaneously justifying the Roman conquest and his betrayal of the rebellion in which he was a commander who went over to the Romans to save his skin. I also suspect he was writing about the rebels and not all Jews of the generation.

But you are coming right along. Never spare a chance to malign Jews past or present. That's just how your brother in Christ Emile does it. And whenever possible use quotations of Jews against them. You can deny being biased - why, that's what one of them says about themselves - and seem more credible to the unaware.

Oh, more on Benjamin Smith. He was a follower of the Worldwide Church of the Creator, a Internet hate group led by Matt Hale. The church, like William Pierce's National Alliance, says it doesn't condone violence but preaches racial holy war and extermination of non-whites. Matt Hale has blamed Smith's murderous rampage on the State of Illinois for refusing Hale a law license.
