It was the Roman Catholic church that initially promoted hatred of the Jews because they did not assimilate into the Roman Empire. Their culture is exclusivist, yet they have given the world the most entertainers and peace prize winners. It has been the recent Christian reformers who have friended the Jews and established their homeland. The Arab world hate the Jews because they were given the land of Israel. If you read the Koran, you will understand the Muslim hatred of the Jews.

I have nieces and nephews who are Orthodox Jews and one a Rabbi, I have no hatred of Jews, they are among my Facebook friends. Several live in Israel and have been educated there.

indyvidual,

Thank you for seeing something positive in my posts.

It's interesting to read different views and a bit worrying.
But of course we have to accept that not all of us are going to
agree or see things in the same way.

According to surveys done we're told that one in ten
Australians believe that some races are inferior or superior
to others. However the vast majority of Australians (84%)
believe that multiculturalism has been good for Australia.

They go on to elaborate that migrants make an enormous
contribution to Australia's economy and provide an estimated
financial benefit of over 10 billion dollars in their first
ten years of settlement.

Plus we owe our accomplishments as a nation to the contribution
of more than 300 different ancestries from the first Australians
to the recent arrivals.

I'm not sure that I agree or think that white people think
they are hated. After all it's predominantly white people
who have ruled this country for decades and hold the top
positions.

Also not sure about the reference to "shitholes," because
as pointed out 73% of Australians still come from England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland

Some people seem to have automatic blinkers to protect themselves from things that they don't want to believe.

"In the latest Census, 73% of Australians listed their their ancestors as coming from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

" That leaves a MERE 27% of MULTICULTURALS from a zillion shitholes".

Slowly now - only 27% of Australians DO NOT originate from Scotland, Wales and Ireland. That 27% are of different cultures from the majority, who do trace the origins back to Anglo-Saxon-Celtic countries/culture.

So, multiculturalism in Australia is not really what it is claimed to be. It's a fizzer. There's nothing wrong with a having a small minority of different cultures, but 27% hardly makes the country multicultural.

To give minority cultures their due, they are less likely to approve of 'gay' shenanigans, unlike our disgusting Prime Minister, who has unveiled a a 'gay pride' flag in Sydney, and will march with Wong in a 'gay' parade. Another 'first' by an Australian PM dragging the country down.ggy

There appear to be Jews & then there are Israelis. Israel has enviable systems of discipline that do not appear to be as evident in Jews elsewhere. It seems to me that it is the latter that are inviting the general criticism towards the Jewish.

I just watched a recent episode of South Park.
Cartman starts a rumour which leads to Kyle Broflovski responding to accusations that 'He (a Jew) runs Hollywood'
His reply:
"I'm not even going to justify that with a response! Because repeating a derogatory slur even for the purpose of refuting it can make stupid people think it's valid!"

Does Kyle Run Hollywood? | South Park

It makes me realise how much of a minefield this topic actually is, even if I be as respectful as I can possibly be I'm more or less asking to be attacked and criticised for anything I say.
I'm not even sure that it's even lawful for me to speak on this topic if things are defined by others as being 'anti-semitic'.
