  TO BE ANTI-ISRAEL IS TO BE ANTI-AMERICAN (thanks Karl)

  What have Jews been doing in history? They want political emancipation but they cannot achieve it. Why? Is it their religion that prevents it? Renouncing their religion would be especially difficult for Jews, since Judaism is a primitive stage in the development of Christianity. I agree that you have to draw on the stereotype of the Jew as a financially apt "huckster" and posit a special connection between Judaism as a religion and the economy of contemporary society. Practical Judaism and huckstering are the same. Christians have become Jews; and, ultimately, it is mankind (both Christians and Jews) that needs to emancipate themselves from practical Judaism. Israel and the Unites States have no problems living together but they definitely cannot live with Islam. Muslims believe both the Torah and the Gospels are based upon divine revelation but believe them to have been corrupted (both accidentally through errors in transmission and intentionally by certain Jews and Christians over the centuries). I can believe that. There is something wrong with most Christian and Jews today. Count me out of the religious triangle. In the religious world two is company and three is a crowd. But its all about the hucksters wherever you find them. God knows we’ve suffered through the last eight years of them GEORGE W.!!
