On the back it didn't say nothing. Same Jewish sheeple of the Shoah. Same anti semitism if u consider European tradition and that it was brought to Islam by Joseph Goebbels. In hundreds of ways, every minute of every day, in every country round the world the anti Jewish mercury is rising. We Jews are being slandered by a ruthless world wide conspriracy that involves distinct segments of world society and our answer once again is silence as before the Shoah in Europe. Nobody in history ever made being slaughtered so easy and professional as we do now and then.

Basically Christians are saying 'God', the infallible, infinite creator' 'made a mistake'. Oops. The Jews were my chosen, they screwed up, now they are not." So much for all knowing, all seeing! What were Jews chosen to be? Not smarter, not richer ( although in many cases they are) but chosen to be a 'Holy People', chosen to be asked to do more, to be more, to suffer ( perhaps) more, to be a light to the nations. And Israel in many respects still is, if these hating masses would open their eyes.This, over and over and over again, is jealousy that they are the "Goyim' 'the nations' and not the Jews. GET OVER IT.

Someone needs to inform them that we were Chosen as an object lesson, not as teachers pet! A reading of JOB should be cllarifying, but will they do that? I think not! They need a scape goat too bloody badly!!!

We were CHOSEN to be the 1st to believe in ONE G-D.

i absolutely agree. that is exactly what i thought as i was reading this.

He may not spare you either.

A new excuse for an old hatred? They should be ashamed of themselves!

Or were you being ironic? If the latter, someone really needs to invent a sarcasm font. If the former, read the Torah. If you don't believe the Torah you have bigger problems than ignorance.

racism is when one race forces another race into service and servitude ... racism also is the deliberate denial of another race' basic human rights ... such as the white race in america did to the black race before the civil rights movement ... Jews have never physically enslaved another race or denied another race their rights .... simply because Jews have cohesively existed throughout the centuries under the belief and understanding that they have a special mission to serve their G-d ... and that they alone have their own personal rules and practices that was given to them by G-d in how to serve Him ... this is not racism at all ... it is religious separatism .... we have separated ourselves and keep ourselves separate from the non-Jews .... which is perfectly normal and very popular among many groups and doesn't hurt anyone ... the Chinese put a wall around China to keep outsiders out ... Jews practice mitzvot and commandments that only Jews do ... to keep ourselves connected and only Jews in ... this 'religious separatism' is so threatening that over the millenia nations have been obsessed with removing our mitzvot from us ... they can't tolerate that we have our own 'secret' life with our own G-d that doesn't include them ... and they still can't deal with it ... they don't think we should exclude them from our own sense of 'specialness' with G-d ..... well ... guess what? yes we will exclude you ... and yes we can!

"special laws allowing Jews immunity from crimes against humanity. " Which laws? Where are they? "racism's special category antisemitism, and no such word as semitism, " Gibberish. Antisemitism is an English word defining Jew hatred. Look it up. You live in a fantasy land, with eyes tightly closed.

and there is no other reason only that one. wake up what took you so long to figure that out.

Jostein Gaarder wrote his anti-semitic rant in 2006. Stupid, yes, but definitely old news. How much of this article is a rehash of old news? This guy and Gerstenfeld are similar bedfellows, doing whatever they can to rile up the talkbackers.

The Bible says that God chose the Jews to be a "light unto nations" by living Jewishly according to the commandments. And that's it.

1900 years ago, a non-Jew asked Hillel, a Jewish sage, to explain Judaism in 25 words or less. Hillel said, "Don't do to others what you wouldn't want others to do to you. Now, go and learn what it means." Call Aish HaTorah or Ohr Same'ach, or Chabad. They'll answer your questions -- assuming you really want answers to your questions.

Both Christians and Muslims accept the Old Testament. About 1 billion people worldwide accept the Bible. The Bible states that G-dchose the Jews as "Am Segulah" and that G-d gave the Jews the Torah after all the nations rejectedit, and that's why G-d seperated the Jews from the rest of the nations, and the exile for the Jews invovles the exile of the Schechina. Somehow, in the New Testament and Qur'an, G-d retracted his words????? Evangelicals know what's up. At either rate, why is Israel the only country that people deny the right to exist? Iran is led by a crazy tyrant who calls for the genocide of the West - and while other countries may hatehim, no one calls for the destruction of Iran. Because in reality, it's fine to critifcize a country's policies. But if that country is Israel, then it goes further - it goes to delegitimization. It goes to retracting your opinion in the 1920's, 30's, and 40's that Israel should be the homeland of the Jews. It goes to calling for the elimination of Israel. The editor mentions "the end of days." Good thing those days are almost here. We can't make anti-Semtiism go away until then. The creation of Israel is the beginning of the Mashiach, but we are still in the Diaspora. And what is the Diaspora's purpose if it is not for hardshisp?

The author talks about the negative comments made against Jews, but I would like to know how old/new those comments where. Some are just based on repeating stupid logic like the Jews killed Jesus...etc.

The text which all these major religions comes from is the Tanakh. This book clearly states several hundred times that the Jews, being the offshoot of the Kingdom of Israel and Judah, are the chosen nation of G-d. The chosen people of G-d. Yet we have these religious leaders, self all-knowing leaders, initiate hatred against the people of the god they are meant to be following. Great will be the day when the Moshiach comes and sets the world straight. For the record I am not a Jew. I am a former Christian now declaring myself a Noahide. Long live Israel, the Jews and their supporters.

If you are an atheist, why do you care? The British, the American, the Germans, the Arabs, and basically everyone else is sure that their culture is special and they are better than anyone else. If you believe in God, then you can't argue the fact that the Jews were chosen to bring God's word not only to the Jews, but to the Christians through the Jew Jesus of Nazareth and to the Muslims through their prophets most who are Jews.

It's not what Chief Rabbi Yosef claim it's what the Talmud teaches ,...

Even I know that the entire concept revolves around the presentation, or giving, of the Bible and its Ten Commandments, nothing more. It is obvious through historical facts that the Jew: Judean: Israelite was the only people to possess such a concept that was void in Arab, Negro, Asian, Greek, Persian and Western Nordic peoples. Heck when the Jews were practicing near every human law we abide by today the African, Asian and Native Americans were practicing human sacrifice and cannibalism. Ignorance is curable but stupidity seems to last forever doesn't it?

my friend 1 this rabbi you quote wasnt' the chip rabbi 2 you always found Extremists the quastion is what popele of power do about it ' in israel thers strong hand to any racist 3 reality shows us thers nobody to trust with our life so you can think what ever you want not you or any one will have the power to harm us

Zionism is as full a part of the modern Jewish experience as all other modernizing, post-Orthodox Jewish movements. In fact Zionism is arguably the most successful modern Jewish movement of all. The "Zionism is not Judaism" argument is old, tiresome and without foundation.

chosen to live under god ruls mach more then any kind of superiority, the bible say "am sgola" which mean "popele of quality " to accept better form of existence and pass it on

Ah yes, now you are an expert on the Talmud. Mazel tov.

that Israel"s wars are not only won alone.He surely protects his people.
