Re: You have some of these "Evangelicals" holding 3 contradictary ideas at the same time - "Protestant zealots are at the same time earnest philosemites, fervent Zionists and incorrigible anti-Judaists..." That's a huge mental effort ! Indeed, to intellectually break down anti-Jewish animosity into anti-Judaism, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism does call for "a huge mental effort" because of the relentless brainwashing by those who don't want us to do so! Arch-Zionists and Likudniks both in Europe and the US keep psyching up public opinion into mixing anti-Semites with anti-Zionists and anti-Judaists. Yet the truth is that Evangelical/Protestant freaks, just like the Catholic church up until the late XIXth century, are not and never were anti-Semitic! If only because that pseudo-scientific notion of the Semitic race was made up in the XIXth century... After all, what's the key, crucial difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism? Simply: CONVERSION. Can you convert to another race??? Can a black guy convert himself to "whiteness"? Can a Semite convert to Aryanism? Can a Jew convert to another "race"? Nope. For anti-Semites there's no way out, no exit for the "cursed Jews" --they're racially, genetically trapped into their Jewishness.... Anti-Judaism, on the other hand, is less radical: there's a way out, not only for Jews but for all heretics and heathens --conversion to the true faith. A Brief History of Jews for Jesus by Moishe Rosen January 1, 2005 Our name tells who we are, who we stand for and what we do. Everything is right up front! While we might have chosen a less controversial name, Jews for Jesus is the one that most quickly, easily and accurately lets people know who we are and what we are about. [...] jewsforjesus.org
