4. This Sounds Like A Lubuvitcher...
In Judiasm, many are familiar with the Orthdox...the men who always wear yamulkas (skull caps)...many are right wingers or chickenhawks (Libermann) and some have formed "common cause" with the fundies due to their "support for Israel" (they ignore how those fundies see the Jews as a means, not an end in their armageddon game). This is the mindset that allows an Alan Dershowitz to defend the perjury of Scooter Libby.

Lubuvitchers are a right wing offshoot of the Orthodox...people who aren't very tolerant of any people...especially those they consider "enemies". Just as Jews have been demonized in the Arab world (a major problem) since the 1930s, some Jews have taken the same approach to "goys"...especially Moslems. They see them as non-human and, dare I say, use similar stereotypes and rhetoric as the Nazis and other racist groups.

A long running joke here is that the New Testament is nothing by a fiction best seller...but I have met my share of Jews...and not all Orthodox or Lubuvitchers...who show a lot of intolerance and hatred...and an arrogance that has pitted a lot of us "secular" or "Americanized" Jews...a vast majority that vote with the Democrats, in a difficult situation and bad light.
