Kyle-Anne Shiver over at The American Thinker has a must-read article on “Hating the Jews.” The world’s oldest group hatred, it has several possible explanations. None of which stand up to objective scrutiny.
There is one ostensible reason that has the ring of truth to it. And it’s [...]

“enough to induce vomiting”
Posted in anti-Semitism on September 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Kudos and thanks to Bill Donahue and the Catholic League on their disgust at liberal “Christian” groups entertaining the anti-Semitic thug who is president of Iran. From their news release, this is worth noting:
“To appease someone like Ahmadinejad is sickening, but for it to be done in the name of Christianity is enough [...]
“Christian” idiots

On hearing a news snippet to the effect that some “Christians” were going to be honoring Iranian president Ahmadinejad, I thought, “No, that’s got to be wrong. No Christian would honor a man who would kill all of Jesus’ own people.”
Well, I was wrong. But right: No Christian would honor a man [...]
Durban II

The Durban hate-fest of September 2001 should be well remembered, and at least some have done so. Read Anne Bayefsky’s report on the planning for a followup hate-fest, Durban II.
Durban was an unabashed orgasm of anti-Semitism and anti-Western ranting. It’s what the United Nations specializes in, apparently. Ms. Bayefsky reminds us that [...]
Mission to the Jews

I happened to catch a PBS program, Jews and Christians: A Journey of Faith. The commentators, from a variety of Christian denominations and Jewish branches, were, for the most part, modern and liberal in their outlook.
By “liberal” I very much do not mean liberal in the sense of politically so. Rather, theologically [...]
Hath not a Jew eyes?

The title is the start of a very famous speech from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. Modern apologists for the play have focused on this speech as showing that Shakespeare, and, by inference, his audience in early-17th century England, knew that Jews were just as human as Christians. That didn’t stop him [...]
"filthy Christ killer"

There was a brief report in the Wall Street Journal on a recent conference, topic: “What’s He Doing Here?: Jesus in Jewish Culture.” What caught my attention were these paragraphs relating to a common misperception about the role of Jesus in anti-Semitism:
“Here you are, you jewish intellectuals, with a small ‘j,’” an elderly [...]
"The Judaization of Jerusalem"
Posted in Arabs, anti-Semitism on February 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Now there’s an odd phrase. Being old-fashioned, I always thought that Jerusalem started as a “Jewish” city: The City of David. As in King David. As in the unifier of Israel and Judah, around 1000 BCE. Jerusalem is where David’s son Solomon built the first temple. For this reason [...]

Ah, Richard Cohen. One of my favorite liberal columnists. While I usually disagree with him on political and philosophical grounds, every now and again he comes up with something right. No, not right as in conservative; but as in correct, even though it grates to admit it.
In his column today he reminds [...]

David Pryce-Jones now has a blog at NRO. It is well worth the time. Today’s entry concerns the just-departed Abbé Pierre, an acclaimed holy man of the Christian persuasion.
Perhaps he was holy, that is. As is sometimes the case, what you see isn’t all of what you get. in [...]
