32. Remember the Jews are people who paid most for racism.

What a block-head are you. They claim to be Jews and has decisively been proved they are. The point is they were evacuated from their villages with false promise of aliyah. Their land has been taken by others and they got no where to go to. Please use your mind to think before you post such rubbish comment. Remember the Jews are people who paid most for racism.
33. Racism in disguise!!
Vandis Blus ,   Philadelphia   (11.09.06)
#3. How strange the world is? Racism has many faces. The post by #3 is a reminder of the myth of the “Jewish criminal element” in Europe of the 19th century. The subjects of racism are always forced to endure labels of criminality,and not-like-us quality which is dehumanizing and deprive them of any chance of equality. It is a process of preparation for the onslaught to come. Just a few minutes ago, I was reading about an Ethiopian jew who died a hero in the war. What can a person do more than give his life? I wonder..... Please don’t minimize the skin color factor. I have lived in Jerusalem for a year and have seen many Bet-Israelis(falashas) and how they live. They certainly live with that sense of alienation. The government in Israel has done really a lot to make their adjustment easier but still a lot of people do not accept them or are not even willing acknowledge their presence. Thank you JonathanLevi Jerusalem for pointing out some of the hypocrisies. Apparently most people posting here have already decided viscerally about an invisible people they barely know. Gerd Schulz of Germany! Intellectualizing and citing extensive statistics has been one thing the Germans perfected to an art. That physicians and biological scientists have been the most over represented professions in the NSDAP is not amazing at all. What you are trying to do is systematically try to deny the jewish identity of these people by conflating the falash-muras claim to Israeli descent with the long debunked myth of the Ethiopian Solomonic kings' Jewish heritage. The doubt over the jewish identity of the Bet-israel themselves looms large in your writing. You are trying to inject economic sense into a law that is stated clearly. Does the Aliyah laws have any economic considerations?? I don’t think so. I agree with Robert Schulman in that a lot of the argument here is racism in disguise. No one wants to consciously acknowledge their prejudices. We attempt to offer cold intellectual arguments to make an essentially ugly thing acceptable. May be we are all racists by nature……..human all too human.
