		<description>&quot;Perhaps I’m a cynic, but when we abandon the ideas, memes, and philosophies that cause the benefits of civilization to flourish, I think we end up with squalor, barbarism, and poverty.&quot;

And we should may do so, MikeD.</description>

		<description>cottus et al,

This is an honest question: Isn&#039;t the behavior of American liberal Jews exactly the same as Israeli liberal Jews?  It seems to me they all believe that if we&#039;re just somehow nicer to those who seek to harm us, everything will simply turn out all right.  And they see the mistakes of Jews as making Jews unworthy of peace and freedom from their enemies, all the while excusing the far worse atrocities of those enemies - the enemies who seek the complete eradication of all Jews from the face of the entire earth.  Isn&#039;t that what the liberal Jews, wherever they are, hold as their belief system?

&quot;Who am I to judge?  How am I to know, when nothing can ever be truly known?&quot; is  a part of their filter on existence.  This abdication of individual responsibility - in favor of bestowing responsibility on some one else, as does a child - remains apalling to me.  They seem to view the benefits of civilization, all around them, as if it arose by magic and is therefore the natural state of things.  Perhaps I&#039;m a cynic, but when we abandon the ideas, memes, and philosophies that cause the benefits of civilization to flourish, I think we end up with squalor, barbarism, and poverty.</description>

		<description>I have to admit I always thought the popularity and support for Jews back in my generation was due to their success, hence better placement in regards to the levers of society.

The recent rampant antisemitism among otherwise educated sections of the American populace just flabbergasts me.  Kali puts her finger on it (how many does she have? 20 or so?) - I call it strategic advertising.

But having grown up as about the only goy in a very (VERY) competitive public school environment dominated by Jews what is even more confounding are the actions and statements of practically all powerfully placed secular Jews.  Cluelessly following in the disastrous steps of the descendants of Gerson von Bleichröder, who ardently sought to be good Nazis, I guess - just trying to stay ahead of the curve.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;So repeat after me: All cultures are equally worthy, and equally important to the very meaning of civilization, civilized behavior, and the progress of mankind. Regardless of their actions, their words, and all evidence.&lt;/b&gt;

That&#039;s nice: up until the nuke is dropped. Then there will be a rather large difference, so des neh.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Now, “Jews” hating Jews I really don’t understand.&lt;/b&gt;

It is just like Americans hating Americans, Danny. In a different cultural context.</description>

		<description>You terrible, terrible persons!  So many terrible persons on this blog!

Don&#039;t you know that all cultures are equally worthy?  Haven&#039;t you listened to what the teachers have programmed, I mean taught, to your enlightened children?

If I hear ONE MORE PERSON tell me about the per capita number of patents and successful companies in Israel, compared to the per capital number of patents and successful companies across the entire Muslim world, I swear, I will puke.  Actually, the number of people who have told me about this is zero, because we suppress that sort of irrelevant information;  but if even one person ever tells me about that, all I can say is, puke puke puke.

So repeat after me: All cultures are equally worthy, and equally important to the very meaning of civilization, civilized behavior, and the progress of mankind.   Regardless of their actions, their words, and all evidence.</description>
