Leftist Anti-Semitism: A Quickie

Oct 21, 2003 19:36

David Rosen, professor of anthropology and law at Farleigh Dickinson University, makes an interesting point while discussing Leftist anti-Semitism during another FrontPage Magazine symposium on the topic.

The central meaning of Anti-Semitism is hatred and discrimination against Jews. It developed as a cultural, social and political force in ( Read more... )

Which I have always had a hard time understanding-the weirdo racist/anti-Semitic Christians who hate Jews because they killed Christ ... well ... like, Christ WAS A JEW also.

P.S. Everything returning to normal now?

Re: :D phthisis October 22 2003, 01:57:22 UTC

Hey there. Yeah, things are more normal now, although during the next few days I'll be supervising the move of all my shit to my new place. That and work will combine to create havoc, but whateva. I squeezed these two out because I really needed to; hopefully I'll have time for more.

How've you been?

I feel your pain throwingstardna October 22 2003, 04:11:20 UTC

Moving sucks shit, I helped my friend move this past weekend. It's the worst.

So wait ... like .... why do fundie Christians dislike Jews but love JC? I seriously don't understand it.

I'm good. I'm going to Cali for a week on Friday ... sun, girls, and a huge show on Halloween (Throwdown, Bleeding Through, and Eighteen Visions).

Re: I feel your pain phthisis October 22 2003, 04:58:41 UTC

Oh wow, you're asking me to explain the psychology of the oldest version of the oldest hatred. I honestly don't get it either. I guess they feel that JC is a Jew who was redeemed, by their lights. Therefore, he's no longer a Jew in any meaningful, modern sense. He's a Jew who inhabits the ancient and sacred Biblical narrative of salvation, which for religious anti-Semites is a totally different thing from the modern, recalcitrant Jew who continues to deny the revealed truth. Jews are a necessary prop in the narrative of salvation. Hence, as long as they stick to the text, they are ok ( ... )

Makes sense. throwingstardna October 22 2003, 05:51:27 UTC

I mean, as best as it can, of course.

Re: I feel your pain phthisis October 22 2003, 05:00:25 UTC

And the show sounds cool. And moving sucks monkey cock.

Re: I feel your pain throwingstardna October 22 2003, 05:49:52 UTC

You haven't heard Bleeding Through, have you?

Re: I feel your pain phthisis October 22 2003, 06:00:22 UTC

I have not. How do they compare with the great Throwdown?

Tell me what you think. throwingstardna October 22 2003, 06:15:39 UTC

Also friends of mine: http://www.trustkill.com/thisislove/

I think: Not bad phthisis October 23 2003, 03:59:10 UTC

They sound pretty good, although I will opine honestly -- out of respect for all the work you put into introducing me to elements of hardcore -- that while I have heard some impressive musicianship in the bands you've pointed me to (mainly the drummers), nothing so far besides Hatebreed has compared to Throwdown.

I see .... so ... throwingstardna October 23 2003, 12:33:20 UTC

... i guess you like the tough shit.
You are a macho thug like that.
You like the straight up "Designed for the dancefloor" stuff.

Thats good, cause I do too.

OK ... I'll find you some more :)

Re: I see .... so ... phthisis October 28 2003, 18:57:32 UTC

Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at. I joke about the Integrity song, but that's pretty much the boilerplate of what I like in hardcore. Just ball-smashing groove and brutality.

Re: I see .... so ... throwingstardna October 28 2003, 19:09:12 UTC

I'll have some new stuff for you soon then.

Re: Tell me what you think. phthisis October 23 2003, 04:04:01 UTC

The first of the two songs playing on the Bleeding Through site at first sounded a little like the second half of Far Beyond Driven.

Re: Tell me what you think. throwingstardna October 24 2003, 12:32:41 UTC
