Does Jewish parenoia over anti-semitism actually lead to increased anti-semitism, and if so, what should be or

Question

can be done about it?

Answer 1

I started working at a jewish office some years ago. Not only did I not have an issue with jews, I didn't even know it was a jewish office. But they questioned me about whether I was, like an interrogation almost. No problem, I said, No problem.

After all this, my boss actually went to the chat board where I sometimes went when the office wasnt busy, and, posing as a stranger, asked me about my views on Israel and jews. This was a chat room dealing with computers and computer hardware! But I answered her. This went on a few more times. After a dozen questions, I finally gave her an unacceptable answer. She lept from her chair and ran in my office. "Are you an anti-semite?!?!" She hadn't even said good morning to me that day.

Never work in a predominantly jewish office.

Answer 2

In my 28 years, I have never been paranoid about anti-semitism. And the one time (when I was in high school) someone was actually being anti-semitic towards me, I didn't even realize until years later. (They asked me if I was Jewish, when I said yes, they threw pennies at me. I had no idea what that was about, so I just kept walking.) The point is, I was never raised to understand what things like that meant because my family isn't paranoid about anti-semitism either. The only thing I was ever taught was anti-semitic was the swastika and I learned what that was in school in the 6th grade after a classmate was caught and arrested for spray painting it on a synagogue in our town. But there was no big to-do over it. They just made the kids who did it wash it off and that was that. I have never known any Jews to be paranoid about anti-semitism.

Answer 3

Rather than speculate about that.. maybe you should try to be a bit more tolorant and forgiving? The world's a better place every time somebody forgives someone for a mistake, and every time someone befriends somebody new, and every time somebody stops singling people out..

Do you think that maybe it's often non-jews that spread the ~paranoia~ about anti-semitism...? It's an effective way of creating divisions.. You know.. divide and conquer and all that jazz.. I know a few jews and none have ever mentioned anything like that, and they've never whined about WW2 to me or anyone I know either, I was working with a jewish guy earlier, and he was dedicating all of his time to helping other people to learn (I think he's going to die soon- he's very old, but I think he'll spend his very last days continuing to assist other people who search for the truth, I can see how much he enjoys it).

Remember that there are bad people everywhere, of every race, religion and belief... And also remember that they do NOT represent the masses.. That's just STEREOTYPING.

Answer 4

There are Jewish people that cry antisemitism every chance they get, just like there are white people that claim that the government is out to get them, and black people that claim that the Man is keeping them down. I think if people are inclined to be bigots or anti Jewish, there is not much that Jews do that influence them either way. If you are inclined to hate a group because of their heritage of skin color, you will always find a way to blame that group for your hate. That way you assign reason to your hatred, and make the object of your hate responsible for it. It is just a way of justifying your horrendous behavior.

The truth is that bigots and racists are just bad people, they have backwards thought processes and shouldn't be paid attention to. I am guessing that most antisemitism will say that the Jews bring it on themselves. That is what antisemitism do, no surprises, just bad behavior.

Answer 5

nope, paranoia exists in almost every society.
thats why men of islam go to war against men of christianity.
thats why christianity goes to war with itself

but dont think that jews are oppressed on every side more than the irish, or the chineese americans, or mexican immigrants.

the distinction is At one time the Jews were a "chosen" people. and they still believe they are MORE chosen than others.
the fact is that ANYONE who becomes a child of god through faith and repentance are "THE CHOSEN" ones. Those who follow satan are the sons of shame and perdition. Even some of the jews are perdition.

Answer 6

As much violence as Jews have suffered over the centuries, they don't exhibit "paranoia" as you say they do.

And that is surprising.

Black people haven't been slaves for 150 years, and they're still complaining about it!

Answer 7

At least they are not burning valentine cards, come on if you want to worry about nuts, look at the arabs.

Answer 8

I never thought about that, but it could be true. We all know jewish people think they are special and no one can never saying anything bad about them.

Answer 9

maybe you should ask the Vatican. They might open their Holocaust files for you.
