Ted, wonderful commentary by a Jew regarding "Passion": www2.ocregister.com. 'Passion' and the blood libel I agreed with your observation re. this article until I got to the paragraph below. I know a number of secular Europeans......whether they believe in God or not, they do not blame the Jews for the crucifixion of JC. Most perpetrators of anti Semitism in Europe are the skinheads. They tend to be extremist groups, right wing if anything, who may have been raised Christian but tend to be atheist. What I couldn't understand is why an American Jew would accuse the Europeans......and then I remembered......the Europeans tend to side with Palestine instead of Israel. For many Jews, that positioning translates into anti Semitism. Another example of the blame game. Very sad! ted "I tell my children we Jews have little to fear from observant Christians. The sad truth is the most likely Western anti-Semites of today are nonbelievers found among university leftists and secular Europeans. Ironically this faithless intelligentsia all too often apologizes for, excuses and seeks to appease the neo-Nazi, "religious," Islamo-fascist terrorists who have slaughtered thousands of innocents around the world, from New York City to Turkey, from Tel Aviv to Kenya, and from Bali to Morocco. Instead, they reflexively scapegoat the Jews, Israel and America for "killing" world peace. Their bigotry obscures the obvious, that the war against terror is a war for religious tolerance, for modernity, for pluralism, for the best of Western civilization. "

Third, any Christians who "blame" the Jews are unfaithful to both Jesus' words and his essence. His words on the Cross were, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." If his mission was to die for man's sins, if he was the Son of God, if it was his conscious choice to sacrifice himself for all of mankind, then his crucifixion was preordained. No human being, Jew or Roman, could interfere with such divine will. Do you take the words: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." as evidence that the crucifixion was preordained? That's not my interpretation. Is it yours? ted

Tenchusatsu, I believe it's more correct to say the following statement is a commentary by a Republican that possibly holds bias against leftists: "most likely Western anti-Semites of today are nonbelievers found among university leftists" That's a blanket statement that doesn't appear to reflect the thinking of many of the Israeli hightech folks I know. Am not aware of a single Israeli that would make a sweeping statement against university folks. Nor any of my Jewish friends in the USA, including someone I once dated. I'm surprised you didn't catch the sweeping statement. Regards, Amy J
