Rationalising Jew-hatred
Reader comment on item: Anti-Semitism Evolves
Submitted by Leon Poddebsky (Australia), Feb 15, 2005 at 15:39
Commenter Richard Sykes claims to believe that Jewish clannishness causes anti-Jewism. He is a perfect exemplar of those who rationalise this ancient irrational hatred. The very desire to eliminate the Jewish identity is itself extremist discrimination and xenophobia.The global anti-Zionist jihad that is being waged against those Jews who have chosen to live in their own nation-state, Israel, rather than among the nations, is a clear refutation of Mr Sykes' contention.
