  Cool story. Bernie Madoff as a Persian persecutor: the agent of God’s will to chastise his people for their own good. There’s apparently precedent. One point though: I’m living proof that there are poor Episcopalians (though I do have a son named Tyler).

  With reason, Jews look down on Christians, Moslems and everyone else. Jews choose to live among everyone else and the hiper articulate hiperbrigh Jewish social critics in media, movies, etc., make non-Jews feel they have created unworthy societies. At this point they become demoralized, moral and economic decay follows Eventually demoralization turns to desperation and violent anger against the Jews.

  Jews are smart to articulate social criticism, think originally, prosper and so on but extremely stupid at being accepted. They can argue all they want as antisemitism being unfair but no matter how many laws are passed and how many Jews are murdered antisemitism will always rise again, again. It is as eternal as Jews.

  The next place where Jews will be victims is obvious; the USA.

  It is not a question of Jews being bad people. They see themselves as having superior ideas. They look around and see how the 10 commandments have becomo the rule of the World. They see how Chistianity and Islam are, in their eyes, bad copies of Judaism.

  They see all the Nobel prizes, writers and on and on and logically conclude: “we do not know exactly why but somehow Jews are smart”

  The big flaw in Jewish thinking is that their creative destruction of the traditional ideas of host societies destroys those societies.

  Even among Jews this creates problems, notice the fair number of anti Israeli Jews.

  To me this hipercritical creativity of Jews is the Achiles Heel of Jewis thinking and at the same time its strong point because it creates new important ideas.

  However, Jewish creativity has a serious flaw, seems unable to create stable, prosperous, cibilized societies, the History record shows it.

  Certainly, if you visit Israel and you see the degree of polarization among Jews over almost any issue, even while surrounded by deadly enemies you can not conclude that many more Israelis than say, British, Swiss, Scandinavians, Japanese and even most other peoples, are able to live harmoniously among themselves by agreeing to basic common rules and values.

  Let us not forget that the astounding “jewish” contributions in the past century of two did so in advanced Anglo-European societies. Nothing of much interest came out of the millions of Jews from South America and Arab countries.

  In fact I was about to convert to Judaism nut when it became clear to me that murderous antisemitism is inevitable, I did not think it was fair to make some of my descendants murder victims .

  So forget about the rabid antisemites you see in the US, they are the tip of the iceberg. The real problem are the passive antisemitic millions who wwill join the antisemitic violence when conditions are right or look the other way when the Jews are herded into rail cars…

  Remember that even after the Holocaust, non Jews are not the initiators of one single Holocaust mamorial. As far as most non Jews is concerned, Hitler went overboard but we still do not like Jews and never will.

  Santayana’s dictum of “only those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat it” is dimcomplete. He should have added: “… remember but are not willing to search the root causes…are condemned….”

  As long as the Jewish leadership insists on “we are right, we are innocent victims” and not.reexamine and find a different way to be Jewish different from they way Jews seem to practice for most of their existence, violent antisemitism will rise.

  As a matter of fact, world communication and travel may turn most of the World against the Jews. It may under way that tsunami.
