Truth is people can`t fully relate to us because we don`t integrate into their society and function entirely with them as them--regardless of all the sophistry about multi cukturealism, democracy, socialism, tollerance. Jews react to outsiders exactly the same way. So lets stop complaining, take our medicine and move on.
Its useless to pester the world about pro/anti semitism. Frank.y, i don`t like the euphemism. I`d rather we refered to Jew haters as Jew haters, not by a misapplied term like anti-semites.
I don`t know how nor if we can fully integrate without giving up the Jewish identity and culture. Maybe we ought to start thinking about that more objectively. Like what is Jewish culture and jewish identity. aren`t they things that were foisted on us by the Europeans and muslims over the past 2000 years? Why do we want to preserve that?
Why do others perceive our religion so negatively? Is it perhaps because we aren`t sufficiently open and inviting? Are we seen to be weird? |
