Anti-Judaism

Reader comment on item: Anti-Semitism Evolves

Submitted by Marcos Berenstein (Brazil), Feb 15, 2005 at 13:18

Dear Dr.Pipes,

I agree with you and I too reject the term "anti-semitism", for it is entirely unaccurate for it implies that we,Jews,belong to a single ethnic group,something that it simply can't be said at all.

"The Passion of Christ" did a lot of damage, while Mr.Gibson reminded its Christian/Catholic audience that we,Jews,KILLED GOD. Muslims welcomed Mel Gibson's approach,for that movie "exposed how malignant the Jews are",and "confirmed" that Jews aren't entitled to live.

Iran,Libya,Syria and Saudi Arabia sponsor the publishing of notorious forgeries as the infamous "Protocols of the Elders of Zion",regarded in the whole Arab and Muslim World as an authentic history book,no matter what.

You're also right when you said that Anti-Americanism walks holdind hands with Anti-Zionism,although in America proper there are A LOT of Israel-haters...They've got no reasonable argument whatsoever,only their old,battered WORLD DOMINATION
CONSPIRACY THEORIES,that none can even argue,for it's based in sheer hatred.

Shortly after the Tsunami occurred, one Vatican official criticized Israel for not being helpful with the victims,ignoring the substantial help Israel gave...This guy could've been helping Torquemada if he lived in his time.

Iranian TV likes to show its audience fairy tales that Jews kidnap Muslim children in order to extract their organs...What can any intelligent person can say about this?

Is it our fate? Have we got ANY friends? Do the Christians who support Israel have in their minds the conversion en masse of Israelis?

When Muslims wil ever accept and respect the existence of the Jewish faith and the Jewish State?

I don't know, but one thing is for sure:IF IT WEREN'T FOR ISRAEL,THE SITUATION WOULD BE MUCH,MUCH WORSE.
