16. Once again, they forget Jesus was a Jew... It's not about JC. It's just anti-Semiticism, again.

Same verse from years ago but with media and televangelism the old message now infects others.

The paradox is that in their eyes, the 'Jews' really are the 'Chosen' by virtue of the abuse heaped on them for millenia, 'chosen' by bigots of all kinds to be used as the 'Eternal Other.'

The latest by Pat Robertson and the constant refrain by Birchers like the Paul and Jones are just two sides of a malignant populist meme.

Jews were not allowed in all trades, and became specialists to survive, prosper and escape their persecutors for many centuries.

Their 'strange' religion and the success of some makes them a convenient whipping post.

This is proof of the destruction of human intelligence and reasoning.
