    The Zionists called for and got a world-wide boycott against German goods and services, which contributed to the start of WWII.

    yup. blame the victim.

    I'll bet you even have a theory to explain the many Jews in Israel who oppose Zionism and the Zionist policies of the Israeli government.

    Who is more bigoted than an Orthodox Chief Rabbi?

    Hell, the idiots in Washington created and funded most of the terrorist organizations. That is their main hobby.

    The difference is that in today’s world, Jews act respectfully towards other religions and cultures, while Muslims, and many others it seems, generally treat Jews as second class citizens. It seems perfectly acceptable in many circles to make jokes about Jews, where if you make jokes about Muslims then you are an Islamaphobe.

    As far as refuting statements by rabbis who speak out of wishful thinking and influenced by concepts of modern society, I’ll just say what the hell is wrong with that? That is a good thing! Jews and Christians have changed their points of view radically over the centuries. They are now generally far more to,errant than Christians and Jews of previous centuries. There aren’t any crusades, or witch trials, or inquisitions, or any of that going on anymore. Christians and Jews are very friendly with each other. Many Muslims on the other hand, continue to wage jihad and treat non believers as second class citizens.

    Even the Catholic Church is accepting of homosexuality and women’s rights. Not so much in the Muslim world.

    Quit worrying about old books, and look at the at the actions of groups in today’s world. The world was a different place when the Talmud was written, and the attitudes in them were likely necessary for Jewish survival.

    When did the Americans contribute to Somalia being the most corrupt nation in the world and how did they accomplish this?

    OK, the next time someone comes out accusing a person of being an "anti-semite" ask that person if he will denounce the entire Talmud. If he won't then you will know that he regards Gentiles as dumb animals and you will have a real racist right before you. Will you have the guts to do that?

    The US has been funding terrorist groups in Somalia since the 1990s. We like to call them "freedom fighters".

    The Middle East has long been the center of ignorance in the modern world, largely due to Islam, so they'll naturally look to others to blame rather than themselves. Had the Arabs not had the technical support of the west they'd still be living in tents today. They now have access to better education but their tribal tendencies, and ancients hatreds and prejudices, still persist.

    Please give some specifics to support your theory and why the Somalians still can't get their act together. Are their problems genetic?

    Why would I do that when I’m sure that there is plenty in the Talmud that is still applicable to today’s world? Would you go and ask a Muslim to denounce the Quran? Should Christians reject the Bible because it has a few parts that don’t work with today’s world, like the parts against homosexuality?

    Ignore the bad parts that don’t apply to today’s world, and embrace the parts that are still applicable today. What’s so hard about that? From what you posted, that is what Rabbis are doing, but the author of the article doesn’t seem to like that Judaism is trying to fit peacefully into the modern world. Islam seems like it is much less willing to adapt.

    True. It doesn't apply to everyone. It is an obvious position in many. I suspect many more people on the right attack islam. None of this changes what I said above.

    I guess, because the Christianity the Left criticizes is mostly long gone. The crusades happened a long time ago. Muslims however, are chopping off people's head as I type this. They still force women to cover up. They still inbreed. They still want Sharia Law. There really is no comparison in comparing current atrocities.

    Interesting how the Jews of Israel are evil, but apparently to her, the Muslims of the ME are nothing but peaceful victims.

    Spare me....

    With all the push back, it's obvious followers of the New Democratic Party are uncomfortable getting dosed with their own medicine.

    The question is, will they figure out how that is being viewed by everyday Americans?
