Antisemitism, natural?

Question

I was reading an article where this guy described that antisemitism was natural compared to racism which was a product of ignorance. I have nothing against Jewish people, and I actually would enjoy meeting some. So how can I hate someone that I don't even know? I think they are just people like the rest of us. What do you think?

Answer 1

You're right. My sister's Fiance is a Jew and He is one of the nicest person I've ever met.

Answer 2

Antisemitism is a disease. Its very existence is proof that certain people want for everyone take their proper place (comfortably below them) instead of seeing them improve and become contributing citizens of the nations of this planet.

Antisemitism is not unlike penis envy.

It's great that you can look beyond the hype, but I wonder if you will hold up when you find out what it is really about. Can you forgo a possible position of privilege to do the <> thing?

Answer 3

honey, you probably do know someone who is jewish. it's not like they are in their own little towns, etc. anyway, i think that anti-semitism or whatever someone is anti about is a learned thing. unfortunately, it's the parents who teach their children to hate. some jewish people are nice, some aren't. just like there are good and bad of any race or religion, nobody's perfect. look around, i'm sure there are some great people to meet.

Answer 4

I,m Asian, not Jewish, but I can say that when you are succesful, many people will be jealous and hate you.

Answer 5

I think he was using it as an excuse to be a religious bigot.

Answer 6

He might have meant Anti Zionism.

Its zionists who cause anti semitism, anyway.

Answer 7

I respect them and wish I could do something to help them in their struggle.
