“That anti-Semites are perfectly capable of ignoring facts is made all the more obvious by the fact that much of Jewish history is literlly carved in stone….”

That something is carved in stone doesn’t make it fact, merely persistant.

Would David Irvings claims gain voracity for being chiselled into granite?

Oy gevalt! Where does the phrase “chosen people” come from it doesn’t strike me as a Jewish concept. The old testament talks about g’d offering the Torah to different nations and the Jews choosing to accept it, this inversion it seems to me is an attempt at racial discrimination.

Newman’s hysterical response to any criticism is amusing to behold. He’s certainly set a new standard for double think, selective omission and cynical expediency. He’s a sort Alf Garnett figure when challenged.

It’s his wife I feel sorry for.

thanks Michael Ezra, but the last phrase you said I know about. It’s attributed a lot to Ben Gurion. Basically he said:”A land without a nation for a nation without a land”, which is technically true since at the time there wasn’t any Palestinian national movement and the people living there were considered to be an array of different peoples.

The attempt to source Yiddish in Slavic countries is absurd.

Anyone speaking either knowledge can attest that Yiddish is a variant of medieval German.

Some Muslim countries teach that Maimonides was Muslim. Attempts by both Sands and Muslims to deny the Jews their own culture and identity, might be termed “cultural cleansing” or “historical cleansing”. It is almost as evil as ethnic cleansing.

That anti-Semites are perfectly capable of ignoring facts is made all the more obvious by the fact that much of Jewish history is literlly carved in stone: the Arch of Titus; Tel Dan, Merneptah and Meshe stele; the Shalmaneser obelisk;etc.

Wade, since Newman libelled both of us, I think we’re justified in asking HP to let one of us post a story detailing it. He took your comment about the fanatics of Hamas being “self-pitying”, which in context is clearly one about both sides, and made it seem like you were calling the whole Gazan population by that label. And he butchered my quote similarly.

“Paul M

Thank you for your comments. It appears that, for you, Jews will be forever the victims, never capable of malfeasance.”

Nope. That’s not me, Jon. That’s a straw man of your own construction.

Well, Wade, I’m told British libel law is a beast best left unawakened.
