It would be laughable had it not cost so much blood and misery. <br /><br />One group of Christians practices actual cannibalism, while a detested offshoot practices ritual cannibalism. Jews are left wondering why you have to eat your god's flesh and drink his blood. <br /><br />If the Church Fathers were to return to life and say the things they said during the 1st-4th C, they would be medicated and institutionalized. <br /><br />Then there is the venerated Judensau, capturing graphically the bile you call doctrine.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/alfred-hitchcocks-unseen-holocaust-documentary-to-be-screened-9044945.html" rel="nofollow">Alfred Hitchcock's unseen Holocaust documentary to be screened</a><br /><br /><i>It's a little known fact that the great director made a film about the Nazi death camps – but, horrified by the footage he saw, the documentary was never shown.</i><br /><br />allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605114251615293411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-67956698273207386522014-01-08T18:23:12.727-05:002014-01-08T18:23:12.727-05:00.
Perhaps I was brought up in a sheltered environ....<br /><br />Perhaps I was brought up in a sheltered environment, Dougo. There was no anti-Semitism in my house at least it was never evident to me as a kid. I suspect my parents were too busy struggling to put food on the table, my dad a carpenter with little work in the winter trying to raise six kids and put them all through Catholic school. Likewise, I am not aware of any anti-Semitic indoctrination while going to school; but as Bob assures me it was probably all subliminal.<br /><br />Frankly, I never really remember ever coming into contact with Jews growing up. Whether that is because I didn't actually meet any (when not in the South, I was raised in primarily Polish and Italian neighborhoods around Detroit and went to Catholic schools through high school) or whether it never occurred to me to ask, I don't know.<br /><br />As for the condescension, that comes from my condition. I have been diagnosed as having a superiority complex complicated by the fact that I am superior. It's a curse but I try to live with it.<br /><br />But seriously, have you ever encountered the type of illogical garbage that is posted here? After years of this stuff it is difficult not to be condescending.<br /><br />I've had three arguments today.<br /><br />One with WiO regarding his statement that if you don't approve of the policy of Zionism you are anti-Semitic. He has still refused to answer my question on whether Jews who oppose Zionism are anti-Semitic.<br /><br />One with Allen who stated that there has been no progress on negotiations because the Palestinians refuse to recognize the sovereignty of Israel. I have shown him documents showing the Palestineans said they recognized Israeli sovereignty. He says he stands by his statement.<br /><br />One with Bob, who based on the previous two arguments accuses me of being a misogynist (yes, I am not kidding) but fails to provide any evidence.<br /><br />You say I am condescending. I say I am demanding of facts and a logical argument not some sectarian bullshit. <br /><br />Have you read give and take on these arguments today? Or is that you, like Allen, have a delicate sensibility and dislike my tone. I have offered you more than once a chance to jump in on any one of these subjects and defend your bros positions. You haven't done it.<br /><br />If you want to complain about me being condescending, I can live with that. I have been called worse here, racist, anti-Semitic, homophobe, now misogynist. Considering the sources of these charges and the arguments that they offer in evidence in the rare instances when they bother offering up any evidence, I hope I am not being too condescending when I say I can live with those too.<br /><br />.<br /><br />.<br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-79869534080382791942014-01-08T18:01:57.837-05:002014-01-08T18:01:57.837-05:00Since you missed the point (or did you), let's...Since you missed the point (or did you), let's try again.

He has stated that prejudice against Jews was instilled in little Catholics, specifically me and Deuce in our childhood, in catechism class or perhaps subliminally maybe in those movies they used to show in driver ed.<br /><br />If you want to jump on that boat, go for it.<br /><br />There was plenty of prejudice to be sure. Being Polish, I was the butt of many a polish joke. But as I recall it was a different time. You laughed it off and gave back as much as you got. We didn't whine. Things weren't quite so PC. <br /><br />You weren't accused of being anti-Semitic for arguing over policy issues.<br /><br />If you want to jump in on this argument, again I invite you to do so.
