SM,

The latest 'Newspoll" has Labor with a 10 point lead over the Coalition 55/45 WOW! And your very own Mr Potato Head is as popular as ants at a picnic. BTW The Greens ARE the party of inclusion, unlike your mob of haters!

A little reminder for you, claiming I lie about what you said about Cry Baby Porter;

<<the damages (to Porter) will likely reach several $m with costs > $10m. The ABC will need to make a grovelling apology and fire another 100 employees to pay for it.>>

Paul,

That's not what you claimed I said.

You lied, Again.

SM,

Feel free to quote me,

SM said; 'Cry Baby' Porter was in for $10+ million plus compensation, a grovelling apology from the ABC, and 100 ABC staff sacked to pay for it all". Hummmm looks mighty similar to me. Let me correct the word SACKED for FIRED.

As I said earlier, the Jews are looking after their own way, way more than any other cultural group & for that they reap the rewards collectively. Sadly, the envious can't fathom that mentality & their own mentality only goes as far as jealous hate.

Hi SteeleRedux,
"The Catholic Church's antithesis to Jews was obviously partly based on their apparent 'unbeliever' status, not yielding to the Christian Lord."
- I think up until quite recently (last 50 years or so) that Catholics wouldn't recognise Jews, because Jews wouldn't recognise Jesus.

"There was also the question of closed guilds and the divisions they elicited."

Hi shadowminister
"This is because they are viewed as successful, white, and associated with Israel which oppresses Palestinians who are undemocratic, murderous misogynistic homophobes, but because they are nonwhite, and Muslims deserve our love and protection."

I think Ashkenazi Jews may have had fairer skin than the Sephardic Jews. I don't know a lot about the grievances between Jews and Muslims, but I think that one belief setting them apart was in relation to 'usuary'.
There is some stuff there though with religions, 'Gog and Magog', can't remember all the details.

Hi david f,
"Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews..."
- I think I read something about the conquest of Constantinople and Crypto-Jews.
Also I think Orthodox Jews may have always had a grievance with Christianity, as they blamed Romans for the destruction of their temple.
To touch on the NAZI's / Holocaust, Klaus Schwabs father worked for Escher Wyss & Cie, a leading NAZI contractor.

Hi Paul1405,
I think the reasons why Jews have garnered criticism isn't just about race, the reasons are many and varied.

Hi Yuyutsu,
Thanks for your earlier response,
As I'm sure you'll know from my previous comment on another thread that prompted Foxy to start this one, I have plenty of thoughts, opinions and questions on this topic.
- There was a time in my life quite a few years back where I followed a path of looking at all manner of conspiracy related topics, and I looked at all the Jewish conspiracy theory stuff, but I'm still thinking about how I can lay these thoughts and questions out in a respectable way without causing offense, which may be somewhat difficult.
It's been a long time since I thought about any of this stuff.

Hi AC,

"I (AC) think the reasons why Jews have garnered criticism isn't just about race, the reasons are many and varied." totally agree. Its easy to stereotype, and then stigmatise and blame a group in society that appear different, have different cultural practices etc. Often those in competition with a minority group economically, will turn on that group as a scapegoat for their own failures.

Hitler blamed Jewish bankers and financiers back in Germany for Germany's defeat in WWI. From that Hitler developed and unbridled hatred for all Jews, and was determined to pay them back for their treachery. Incidentally his basic assumption was wrong.
