Hi, I always look forward

November 2, 2003

Hi,

I always look forward to reading your articles in rense.com, as I find them to be some of the most reasonable and best written. Please bear in mind that these comments do not apply to all Jews, and certainly not you.

With regard to your most recent article, "The Real Cause of 'Anti Semitism", I would like to offer my two cents.

I believe that when Jews inspire anti-"Semitism", it is not because their elite is part of the governing class. The same could be said of people of English descent. Of course, they are represented in the ruling class far out of proportion to their population, and THAT no doubt is a factor.

I agree that what sets them apart is their behavior. Most Jews consider themselves to be "God's chosen people", and entitled to special privileges. This myth justifies a near total disregard for the suffering of other peoples and the stealing of land from the Palestinians, despite the fact that most Jews are atheists or agnostics. It rationalizes their self-absorption, and makes them demand exemption from legal and ethical standards that apply to all other peoples.

Jews tend to be driven in their pursuit of personal wealth, power, and prestige. While many Jews do channel their ambitions in perfectly honest and productive careers, Jews are found in disproportionate numbers in careers such as law, banking, corporate management, and politics, where corruption is rampant and potential profits are huge. Unrestrained by religious beliefs in the brotherhood of all men, their disregard for other people makes them particularly dangerous. Indeed, dishonest and racist behavior is encouraged by the Talmud. Of course, most Jews are not part of the world's power elite, but it may be due more to a scarcity of available positions, rather than a shortage of willing applicants.

They often maintain "dual loyalty" both to America and Israel. Of course, most citizens with "dual loyalty" are loyal only to Israel, and cannot be trusted as Americans. Victor Ostrofsky said that the nice thing about recruiting for the Mossad, is that although not all Jews will cooperate with the Mossad, very few Jews anywhere in the world will turn in Mossad agents operating in their country.

Few Jews are willing to get their hands dirty in menial tasks, whether on the job, or around the house, as this work is beneath them. But it is only by actually doing menial tasks that you can acquire any sense of empathy for those who must perform these tasks their whole lives. This lack of empathy is probably the reason why most home contractors don't like working for Jews, and why Jews are usually such bad tippers in restaurants.

An obsession with Jewish issues and the Jewish people, while showing almost total disregard to the sufferings of others. When will we stop hearing about the holocaust? It is long over. Haven't there been many others happening to other peoples over the last century? Are we not having a similar one in Palestine now? How many Jews care about the plight of the Palestinians?

Best regards,

Chris
