Why do we hate so much?
Are we destined to destroy each other.

quote:
A Jew has never robbed me at gunpoint. I have never had my auto broken into or vandalized by a Jew. But I have had these things done to me by blacks. My apartment was broken into and robbed while in college, but not by a Jew – it was by my black neighbor's brother who was strung out on heroin. Jews have never vandalized our home, but a Hispanic man and woman did many years ago. I have been called various forms of the "N" word by blacks, a high-school biology teacher and several high-school classmates – even by a Japanese college student at Drexel University – but never by a Jew.

As a teen, a white employer called me a "nigger" repeatedly; my Jewish employers always called me Mychal. While working my way through college at a service station in Maryland, a white customer not particularly appreciative of the way I defended myself offered, if his "granddaddy was still alive, he'd whip" me. Jews on he other hand – more than any other group – joined with blacks to end segregation and discrimination.

This is America, where all but Christians are encouraged to practice their faith openly and publicly – often to the exclusion of established laws – ergo it would be duplicitous to hate Jews for practicing their faith. I can and do disagree with many for not supporting conservative candidates, but their voting record is not reason to hate them.

Granted, there was a business associate from Long Island I had to watch closely – but he would have been dishonest snake even if he were Episcopalian. He is proof positive that there are rotten apples in every barrel. But still not proof that we should viscerally hate an entire group of fellow Americans.

Some may argue their loyalty is to Israel, but, before I say "So what," let me point out another group's fixation on Africa. Now: "So what?"

I have given painstaking thought to the question I have posed. And I've concluded there is no valid reason to hate a people who want what we all want.

We have not really become progressive as a society,were just continuing the same hatreds as our ancestors from the turn of the century.

That all makes perfect sense to me. I wish that article had the widest possible distribution.

Uh, Frisko, you do realize the article you're quoting is from a extreme right-wing U.S. media source, and that the reason they had one of their token African-Americans write it was to falsely accuse critics of Israeli foreign policy of antisemitism, don't you?

In fact, there is almost nobody on Babble(hell there IS nobody on Babble)that this would apply to. Nobody here hates Jews. Some posters here are Jewish or, like myself, have Jewish relatives.

You should really do the decent thing and self-delete this, since it is flame-bait and has no points we need to even discuss here.

Wow. The point to this article appears to be, "Why hate Jews when you can hate Muslims and Black people instead?"

Such a nice, progressive article to post on a left-wing discussion forum!

It's actually kind of nice to be on vacation and not have to be the heavy who closes trolling threads. I can instead denounce and complain.

Wow, for someone on vacation, you keep beating me to these sorts of things, Michelle! I'm going to close this one up.

Yeah, but I cried to the moderator! That counts as vacation.
