Portrayals of Jews in Literature

Correct. No argument on that point. After my interaction with CJ in the expulsion thread, I'm convinced that is the pivot he will use, that's why I mentioned it.

The 'that's not real communism' argument.

Many people are unaware of 8200 and hasbara, so, for posterity I will outline that Mr Seeker is 100% correct about jewish subversion of wikipedia.

It's not that. To ascribe the traits or actions of some group, to all members of that group, either good or bad, is to be prejudiced.

I am prejudiced.

Stereotypes exist for a reason. To point at an exception and ignore the rule is dishonest and subversive.

It doesn't have to be every single person of a group that has all the traits and characteristics people discuss. I am sure there might be a few nice israelis, I just think they might be too few to move the dial at all. I mean 500 years ago before israel, before the holocaust, before zionism even, William Shakespeare wrote the Merchant of Venice with a bang on delivery of the standard merchant of a jewish variety. Hands rubbing, wanting more than his fair share of the deal and then pushing so hard for an even better deal that the phrase 'pound of flesh' was coined. And yet we see the same characteristics today.

There are, in my view, between 20 million and 50 million jews on the planet. This is a very small sub set of people and the differences between them in terms of attitude, confidence (read arrogance) etc would by any measure be few, especially as 90% of these are really of eastern european origin.

Most jews conform to most of our expectations and that unfortunately is a great shame.
