OK - don't know the truth or falsity of the opium issues, but typically, every post from Emile is a cut and paste from a blog with its own interpretation of history. Kind of reminds me of the stories about all the Jews who financed Columbus and had Christian names because of persecution. These things are so speculative and not really subject to proof. Irrespective of this, would you condemn all Jews because there are some corrupt Jews? There were other imperialist Europeans who treated China and other Asian nations as a source of cheap labor and raw materials. Should all Europeans be condemned to this day? Should we delve into their religion to further condemn a group? How about their sexual proclivities? If it turns out that there was a high percentage of homosexuals who were imperialists, should we condemn that group? I've already posted that there was a very strong homosexual group in The Third Reich. Should we condemn all homosexuals? Do you get it yet? You seem to get all hot and bothered when Emile posts something that condemns some Jews and by implication all Jews. Don't you see that as bigotry plain and simple? Do you really want to thank him for his bigotry and to be a part of it?

===> "To gain wealth and power, some people would do anything to achieve their goal" <=== Are you saying that there might have been some bad Jews in this world? Could there also be some bad Arabs in this world? How about Christians? Has there never been a Christian criminal in the history of the world? Why do you seem so shocked to hear that a Jewish person could have committed a crime sometime in history? OTOH, I don't know if the specific charges were true or not. AntiSemites are people without class and without honor, who will lie just to further their mindless hatred, don't you agree?
