exposed and BURNT! In my opinion,the Church is the responsable in sowing this evil hate agaisnt Jews in the subconscient of all people ,it has been more than1700 years. THAT should be analized. We should deal with the causes and not the consequences of the problem,since the consequences can be contained only for a while,but they will appear often and often,depending on the political situation of a country that,when not good,looks for a fabricated escape goat . For example,few months ago the Vatican revived that Latin Mass talking about Jews ,their "blindeness" etc. We should ask ourselves why the Pope is willing to keep sowing such a things in the subconscient of their followers.Why he wants to keep watering these seeds of evil. This should be exposed,unveiled,thought and finished. When this evil will be finally exposed,we Jews will suffer very much by seeing such a evil we have been victimes. From our part,I repeat,we must denounce the roots of the problem to finally rid it from the world .

"Unfortunately, people prefer to close their eyes to a historical fact." Fortunately people can realize such a poor publicity stunt of bad taste.

Both the Church and the Mosque preach that Judaism has been abrogated by: a) the death of Jesus; and b) the arrival of Muhammad. 3.5+ Billion people on this planet subscribe to a belief systems that holds Judaism to be an outmoded, outdated religion and that G-d has essentially "moved on" from us. The roots of modern Anti-Semitism lie in both Christianity and Islam. Proof positive of this is the fact that, for the past 2000 years, Jews have led peaceful, productive lives in nations that haven't subscribed to one form of replacement theology or the other. For both Christians and Muslims to subscribe legitimacy to the Jewish people and Judaism itself is to flirt with apostasy. This is why, for the most part, Christians have ulterior motives in supporting Israel and Muslims wish to wipe us away from the nations of the earth. Sum and total, Keren, aside from haKad-sh Baruch Hu, we're as alone in this game as we were when Abraham left Ur Kasdim... Shabbat Shalom, Keren

worshipped the dead, particularly dead chiefs. The float of holocaust Jewish bodies is horrific from many perspectives, but not from the ancient native religions and culture like the Aztecs who worshipped the dead and left food for them at cemeteries. Asian cultures often worship or rever the dead, too. The Central and South American worship of the dead was transferred to the worship of dead Roman Catholic saints since worshipping the dead was part of the heritage of the indigenous peoples there. Whether the holocaust float was to honor the dead or to dishonor them is up to question. But the judge decided against the float because of the great offense that could cause from cultures that do not understand the reverence of those who have passed.

I'm sure of it entirely.

Yes,you are right. But in the case of Brasil,which is predomintly a catholic/christian country,the culprit is the Church ,and the other christian movements in general,for sowing the hate of Jews or making Jews " different" and looked with untrust somehow,in a way or another. Yes, you are right that Jews have led peaceful, productive lives in(all ) nations( they live in). But I disagree with your statement about a govern" that haven't subscribed to one form of replacement theology or the other" because christianity ,and now a days Islam,controls the" faith" of almost all peoples in the world. We Jews are safe only up to when a scape goat is needed,and the role of the Church throughout the centuries has been to provide us as the scape goats.Islam is doing this now. The Church is the wickest political movement ever existed.It uses the" faith" as a mean of political control.For example,can you explain to me why Presidents ,Prime Ministers etc visit the Pope before importnat steps that deals with peoples lives?Because the Church is their implemental tool-the most important one.The Church protects governs. Just recently Bush visited the Pope, and Blair " converted" to catholicism. I am still wondering why...Blair is in Israel as an emissary of UN-another arm of certain controling countries...

think of putting such a float together. I'm glad that they stopped it, as it doesn't do anything to to address anti-semitism nor does it promote healing.

#2 Keren - They are anal enough - You meant analYzed and not analized.

they have money The Brazilians are pathetic indeed. Their latest attempt at anti-Semitism is a symptom of no education and a country of no hopers.
