Wrong if you mean all Christians, but not so wrong if you mean the Christian Evangelical vote, a core Bush constituency. Of course. No need to post that. The poster used the term "Christians." Lots of different stripes there.

Nadine, it is a little too late for me to get into it, and I am a very slow typist, and I’ll return to the subject – which I’ll touch now very briefly. Sometimes I think that American Jews are still struggling with Spanish Inquisition. It appears to me at times that they missed the fact that most of Jewish suffering has no longer been originating with fanatical Christians… Nazi’s were driven by ancient “Volk” pagan archetypes, their impulse to prosecute Jews had nothing to do with Christianity… To the opposite, they saw the Judeo-Christian influence as “enslaving” for their ‘true’ spirit, and therefore it had to be destroyed. Jews are still stuck in the old paradigm of being prosecuted by Christians… they haven’t noticed that it’s over… a long time ago. This link to Moscow Times describes an attack on Jews – today, I believe – which had nothing to do with Christians, or Christianity: themoscowtimes.com Monday, April 15, 2002 50 Youths Attack Kiev Synagogue The Associated Press KIEV -- About 50 youths attacked the central synagogue in Kiev, beating a rabbi and two others with stones, hurling bottles and destroying property, the rabbi said Sunday. Kiev's chief rabbi, Moshe-Reuven Azman, said the mob marched down the capital's main boulevard shouting "Kill the Jews!" before attacking the synagogue just after 9 p.m. Saturday. The incident occurred after Saturday evening services, and many worshippers had already left the building. Police denied it was an anti-Semitic attack, saying it was a case of soccer-related hooliganism. A soccer game had just ended at nearby Dynamo stadium. Azman said the youths knocked Tsvi Kaplan, rector of Kiev's yeshiva, or Jewish school, to the ground and beat him with stones. Kaplan was hospitalized overnight but was released Sunday. Azman's 14-year old son and a security guard also suffered injuries, the rabbi said. "I call this act a pogrom," Azman said. "It's a miracle that it was not worse."
