Gentelmen,
I have read many of your post and tried to be openminded in understanding how you think, feel and believe.
While I am not at a point to form a concise opinion on the matter I will share this point of common interest, not only to yourself, but as a thorn in the side of American taxpayers.
Isreal recieves over half of our foriegn aid budget, preferential bond treatment and historically has overshadowed the other 80+ million people killed in WW2.
I disagree that Isreal is our personal responsibility to protect and that history taught in schools barely touches on the atrocities of Stalin and Mao, which dwarf Hitler in every aspect.
No mention is ever given to Pol Pot and very little attention is paid to providing factual evidence. No balance is given to the brilliance of German engineering, or the early war superiority of the German war machine, later crushed by the allies, if not by sheer numbers alone.
I have no animosity towards jews as a people, nor thier religion. I have no problem with their integration, or of other races, religions into the western world. What I do have a problem with is prefential treatment towards Isreal and minorities, which results in reverse-racism and breeds contempt in those of us who are thinking men.
I do not share the common politically correct views that any sort of reparations are due anyone, for any reason.
While I cannot share your enthusiasm for en masse' exclusion of certain types of people from society, I can understand how such contempt is bred, if not by those very people themselves. It is common belief and in fact a reality that jewish are an exclusionary society, in my opinion this is one of the reasons their culture has been suspect, nonetheless in many cases it is self-perpetuated.
I will welcome a retort on your part and will not judge either way your point of view as you are entitled to it, however I will not wholesale accept the notion that jews, nor minorities are the singular cause of western cultural decay.
By all means gentlmen, retort.
