Reply #57: I think there are Jews who feel that the world is against them whatever they do.

I do not understand this antipathy, except that perhaps there is an envy of their superiority in many areas. They excel in academia and beat out a lot of other kids in getting into the Ivy League schools. They are highly successful in law, show business, advertising, and many other areas of expertise.

So I feel there is a resentment among lots of people that Jews do so well in our society, given their low numbers in our population. And there is a residual blame for the Jews for everything from the death of Jesus to today's economic situation ("the Jews on Wall Street"). So much of this is familiar! We read about it in our history books about WW2 with the Nazis. So why is this antipathy against Jews so rampant today, especially among LIBERALS?

I don't get it. Many, many liberals in the turn of the last century were Jews. We owe a great deal of our history as liberals to Jews.

Let's all examine our thinking on how we REALLY feel about Jews in our society...
