I studied the holocaust a long time ago. And, all the pogroms before it, for centuries. There were many reasons given for hating jews. But, I still didn't get it. Being an American, I felt that jews were like anybody else, some fine, some not so fine. Then living and working in Manhattan, I was ripped off 13 times by jewish partners. friends. stock brokers, real estate deals. I had to conclude:
A: they think it's their right to cheat people.
B: they don't care if they are hated.
Now this. Not too many decades ago, Israel was admired for turning a desert into a garden. Not only did many love them but the antisemitism was a label NO one wanted...and the Holocaust was thrown out in media for decades starting in the '70's. Horrors! Anyone criticizing a Jew was reminded: "But, look how their people have been persecuted!!"
Months ago, seeing the slaughter and the lies, I came to believe that they CRAVE being hated. Why? Somehow, it works for them. To question this was against decency. The POOR Jews...don't even go there. Now, I think some WILL go there and study what is in their culture that causes this. Something in the Torah teachings?? Do they hate themselves?
