Who said "anti-semitism is disliking Jews more than is absolutely necessary" ???

That sounds to me like George Orwell.

Richard is an Atheist. He uses his position to spout atheist propaganda. It is comparable to if Einstein made reading the Talmud a requirement of Quantum Physics.

He was a professor of History (as I remember it).  Who happens to be one of those people who deny the Holocaust.  He has been for a while, I guess he just did it in the wrong place this time.

It is not just about Israel, but about everything that highlights their bruised pride and utterly humilliation. \n\nThe following quotes go a long way to explain the pathological hatred in arab (and several muslim non-arab) societies against everything they perceive (rightly so) as more advanced than their decadent lifesyle, largely dominated by a retarded system obsolete theocracies and dictatorships.\n\n"The Arab world is suffering a crisis of humiliation. Their armies are routed not only by Americans, but also by tiny, Jewish Israel; and as Arthur Koestler once remarked, the Arab world has not, in the last 500 years or so, produced much besides rugs, dirty postcards, elaborations on the belly-dance esthetic (and, of course, some innovative terrorist practices). They have no science to speak of, no art, hardly any industry save oil, very little literature, and portentous music which consists largely of lugubrious songs celebrating the slaughter of Jews"\n\n"Now that the Arabs have acquired national consciousness, and they compare their societies to other nations, these deficiencies become painfully evident, particularly to the upper-class Arab kids who attend foreign universities. There they learn about the accomplishments of Christians, Jews, (Freud, Einstein, for starters) and women. And yet, with the exception of Edward Said, there is scarcely a contemporary Arab name in the bunch. No wonder, then, that major recruitment to al-Qaeda's ranks takes place among Arab university students. And no wonder that suicide bombing becomes their tactic of choice: it is a last-ditch, desperate way of asserting at least one scrap of superiority—a spiritual superiority—over the materialistic, life-hugging, and ergo shameful West"\n\nRead it all:\n\nhttp://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=19107

Everything smells like anti semitism to most Israelis  and I am sick of it   When will you jerks realize that you are in a religious state - and when someone speaks out against Israel, he is not necessarily anti-semetic - it just means they disagree with the policy of your government.  While we are talking about the Jewish State - when will Israel give us its illegal stockpile of nuclear arms?    I woul dlike to see the US begin to distance itself more and more away from Israel and would also like to see us curtail the defense "gifts" in foreign aid we send you --- and if you think that makes me an anti Semetic - Then Damn it, I am, and I am proud to be one....

I read all these responses and I'm stunned.\nPerhaps the problem is ... I'm not a Liberal.\nI am a student of history, however ... and GWB could not possibly be compared to Hitler.  To do so actually lessens and trivializes the evil that was Hitler.  I understand that some people hate GWB ... that's their prerogative ... I understand the arguments and the passion behind those opinions ... but comparing GWB to Hitler and actually BELIEVING Hitler would be a better "choice" only shows that some peoples' opinions are not based on knowledge and reason but, instead, on words they believe have shock value and effect ... much like Hitlers Ministery of Propaganda.  Until now, I never made the connection ... I guess Hitler was Liberal and this would explain the predominance of the answers to this question.  Hitler was a genocidal, drug-addicted madman who believed in occultism and the superiority of one "race" over others (whether or not they were German) and their birth-right to maim, rape, murder, torture and destroy a peoples because they claimed they were less than human.  Regardless of the arguments against GWB ... he has not lead a proganda campaign to brainwash adults and formed youth-groups of children to convince them that "all Muslims" are less than human and must all be destroyed.   Hate GWB if you choose ... but don't be so proud of your ignorance to compare him to Hitler ... shame on you.

Master of the world? What kind of racist ,unfounded statement is that? How does Israel even attempt to be master of the world? Sorry that every single neighboring country in the region attacked the Israelis and Israel won. If you call defending yourself from those you wish to destroy you master of the world, what do you call it when you attack someone who posed no threat to you. Perhaps Bush's bomb now, give reason later strategy is keeping wrld peace, while fighting back to multiple countries with a much larger fighting force than you is being master of the world.\n\nPerhaps Medo would like to answer why they think of the Jews as a virus. Ummmm, I'm not sure all you anti-semites realize this, but Hitler was lying, Germany's economic problems were caused by an over-harsh treaty of Versailles imposed on them by three non-jewish countries. Hitler wanted to blame someone who wasn't Aryan to make them seem like the master race. The Jews had nothing to do with the collapse of Germany, in fact, they had nothing to do with any problem. The Arab-Jew conflict in Palestine right now over the fact that the Arabs refuse to accept Israel as a nation, repeatedly attacking it. Wars don't help in peace talks usually. Anyone who hates Jews for the deaht of Jesus should realize that the church hand-picked the gospels it liked, the ones that declared Jesus a deity and the Jews his betrayer. They rejected all the other scrolls, sayin they were written too far after Jesus's death to be accurate. However, all the gospels, chosen and rejected, were written at about 300 AD.\n\nTherefore, you see that every single racist claim against the Jews is either a myth or a lie by a man who murdered millions. Anyone saying that the Jews are a virus obviously han't checked any facts and prefers to listen to the hate and lies spewing from one of the most evil men to ever live's mouth

Now, I'm not jewish, but I believe that anybody who reads the history of the jewish people with all that they have been through and can honestly that they hate them is just plain stupid.  As my mother always said Jesus was a Jew ;-)\n\nBesides how can ya hate the people that gave the world the BAGEL!

Yes. Judging from the responses I've heard from atheists, Gellman needs to try harder. I don't know anyone who was satisfied with his analysis. Some atheists became angry simply because of the article. lol.

I've seen the comments you're referring to... I am not Jewish myself, but I'm definitely not "anti-Jew".  People should be free to practice whatever religion they want, and should not be persecuted for it... Jews suffered far too much with that sick pig Hitler.

Come on...do you find this guy so annoying just because he disagrees with you and doesn't toe the socialist line?\nIf so, then you would be a hypocrite if you accused anyone else of being intolerant.\nWouldn't it be an awfully boring world if everyone agreed on everything all the time?

I am Greek and i believe that there are small number of people who hate Jews. And they hate them because they aren't well educated. Many people hate the government of Israel but this is something differed. They hate any militaristic government including US or UK or Italian they hate war and thats all.

Bless? the Nazis? Wow!. Because he's crazy. Or because he blamed the jews for jesus's dying, and liked the nazis idea.

a. He believed in racial separation- that everyone should live with people of their same ethnicity.  He wanted to unite Europe with Germany as the leader, and then expand Germany. (That's reasonable in some ways. There are so many hate crimes today- not only limited to White on minority as they once were.) \nb. He hated communism..... which started with German Jews, so I can see why he had a particular dislike of Jews.   \nc. He had his master race idea. (But, then again, we ALL have prejudices against other races of people and have-or, rather, should have- pride in our own races, ethnicities, etc. That doesn't really excuse him for KILLING other people in neighboring countries- such as Poland- but that excuses him from being called a racist for loving his race and ethnicity.) \nd. Well "racism" really doesn't cover the disabled (they are not a race), but yes, that was cruel of him for killing them. However, the idea of sterilizing them isn't that bad, especially since the USA was doing that too for a while. \ne. A little FYI-If you think Hitler was racist for wanting segregation, I think you should look at what some of your own political leaders have said:\n"Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate that these people (Blacks) should be free. Nor is it less certain that two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion have drawn indelible lines of distinction between them."\n-Thomas Jefferson (I haven't heard anyone call HIM a racist.) \n"Given an opportunity in our ancestral Africa, the knowledge of farming and of simple farm machinery and implements, which we have acquired here would enable us to carve a frugal but decent livelihood out of the virgin soil and favorable climate of Liberia... We are a liability now, and any cost of this project, no matter how great, would still, we sincerely believe, be a sound investment for the American people... " \n-Marcus Garvey (Black guy) who wanted the USA to help send Blacks back to Africa. (Is HE a racist?) \nf. If you think Hitler was a racist for hating Jews, read in the Bible: John ch. 8- verses 42-59. (I think you should think a little bit of who you are calling racists.) \ng. Hitler was raised as a German and loved German people. As far as being Austrian, however, he lived in the German-speaking part which had accepted a lot of the German culture. \nh. Hitler supposedly WAS a Catholic. Hence was why he was against atheism....?\ni. What exactly is wrong with wanting a Germany just for Germans? 0_o

He united them. Told the nation that the Jews were the reason for their poor performance(poverty, unstable economy...)\nOf course that is not true but the Jews were a scapegoat.
