Len, One can make a distinction between bigotry and racial hatred, though they are often mixed up. IMO, Emile's statements display the former, not the latter, as would appear to be the case also with his wife. Although the concept of race appears to be becoming un-PC, I would say that his wife is racially Jewish, though no longer religiously so. Also, I have to wonder if there are any religious Jews out there that disapprove of the history of modern Israel. I know that I do, not out of a hatred of Jews, but rather out of a sense that modern Israel seems to me more than a little hypocritical (as does my own country in its foreign policy). Skipper

"My only point in this post is to say that in exploiting her previous(?) Jewishness by calling HER a Jew, in an attempt to defend attacks against your apparent hatred of Jews and Judaism wasn't intellectually honest." Hi Len, Even if your logic concerning my exploitation of my wife's Jewish background were correct, your statement is still fundamentally false because I have no hatred for Jews. On the contrary, I love all human beings, including Jews. My opposition to modern talmudic Judaism is based upon their rejection and ridicule of Jesus and nothing else. Is it impossible to be opposed to Roman Catholicism without hating the catholic people? Of course not! Why can't one be opposed to modern Judaism without being antisemitic? The leaders of modern Judaism have cleverly crafted a weapon called antisemitism that is inappropriately used against anyone who dares question the racism of political Zionism, the false talmudic teachings of modern Judaism etc. It is impossible to criticize anything to do with modern Judaism or Zionism without their leadership accusing you of being antisemitic. A wonderful weapon to further the political, economic and religious goals of modern Judaism. Emile
