There’s the double standards that reveal antisemitism. Everyone does it, and they condemn only the Jews.Are Jewish landlords the only landlords who won't repair the heat. Are Jews the only people who drive blacks out of their rental units through gentrification?

selective prosecution is unlawfulI wouldn't know. Sounds like it, given the complaints of black folks.
You see, I used to be a landlord in a poorer neighborhood. I tended to be very quick to respond to complaints about problems in the building I owned. (Of course, I lived in the building, so there was that.)
Everybody does it doesn't make it okay, Lisa.
I wish they would prosecute Jewish slumlords... but they don't.selective prosecution is unlawful
Where do you get the idea that Jews "are demonstrating the worst qualities of white people?"Very true. Probably has to do with the fact that many slumlords are Jewish. Many of the businesses that won't cater to blacks are owned by Jews in places like New York. Same reason why blacks resent Indians in the Midwest and Koreans on the West Coast.
Perhaps. Or perhaps they would be horrified that once Jews were considered "White", they engaged in some of the worst behavior of white people.
Because Jews are a privileged class. The purpose of DEI is to make sure underrepresented populations get access to college and benefits.
The problem is that not only are Jews "white enough" now, they are demonstrating the worst qualities of White people.
I document my assertions. You don't. The Jews you describe are very different from the Jews I have known. They are also different from the Jews I have read about.I wouldn't know. Sounds like it, given the complaints of black folks.
Dealing with them on a regular basis.Where do you get the idea that Jews "are demonstrating the worst qualities of white people?"
You make these kinds of statements and it makes me realize that you aren't that old and not very worldly.Most slumlords are not Jewish. And why would anyone want to be a slumlord? It is more rewarding to rent to affluent people who pay their rents on time, and who take care of their rental units.
No matter how rich a Jews becomes he usually has a collective memory of the ghetto, the shtetl, and the lower east side of Manhattan. They care about the misery of those left behind.
That is the reason most Jews vote Democrat. It is the reason Jews have always been active in the civil rights movement.
Jews owe their wealth and privilege to superior intelligence. No one gave them anything. They have always succeeded against the odds.
I have known a lot of admirable Mormons too. when I was 19 years old I was proselytized for six months by two Mormon missionaries. On the basis of my investigation of Mormonism I concluded that Joseph Smith was a religious charlatan. I was saddened by my discoveries about him, the Book of Abraham, and the Book of Mormon. Mormons deserve better.When I discuss Jews on this board, I don't talk about admirable ones because none of the ones I met were. I mean, not as sleazy as Mormons, mind you, but fucked up religions give you fucked up results.
Many countries have lower standards of living than the United States, and lower crime rates too.Again, America has a high crime rate because we tolerate poverty, racism, gun proliferation, and fail to provide treatment for addiction or mental illness.
What I have established is that you do not do much reading. Every opinion you have is based on your narrow life experiences.Um, okay, but I think we've already kind of established you don't have much life experience.
But when you discuss people you have met, you inevitably ascribe their behaviors to their religious identity as if there is a causal relationship. The fact that there are "admirable ones" means that this is about individuals, not group identity and can't be attributed to religious teaching or else all who received the same teaching would end up the same.When I discuss Jews on this board, I don't talk about admirable ones because none of the ones I met were.

Um, sorry, when you respond to valid criticism with WHY DO YOU HATE ME, that's the attitude of a five year old who has been given a time out.We deal with you on a regular basis right here on the U.S. Message Board. You give us nothing to like and admire, just unfounded hatred for the most accomplished 0.2% of the human population.

Yawn... your obsession with "Statistics" is kind of silly. Stats can tell you effect, they can't tell you cause.I admire Mormons because they are high on the good statistics, and low on the bad statistics.
Which isn't what I was addressing, but again, addressing underlying causes would ruin your world view.Many countries have lower standards of living than the United States, and lower crime rates too.
It's easy to get people to behave if they know they'll be shipped back to a third-world shithole if they misbehave.Once I lived in a neighborhood that was enriched by the immigration of Vietnamese war refugees.
You can't learn about life from a book, little boy. I figured that out about 40 years ago.What I have established is that you do not do much reading. Every opinion you have is based on your narrow life experiences.

Maybe it is best to judge individuals based on what they do and not why you think they are who they are.
two problems with that -- the first is that the concept of "chosen" in Judaism has to do with being chosen for additional obligations and the second is that, if you look at the history of the word "gentile" it developed from people's need to call themselves something to mean "not Jewish" not something Jews chose to call anyone else.Not really... Religion will mess up your head. When you have religions like Judaism and Mormonism that see themselves as the "chosen" and the rest of us as "gentiles," you are going to get some pretty bad behavior.
What I have learned about reading about the Jews confirms the positive opinion I have of them that is based on personal experience.You can't learn about life from a book, little boy. I figured that out about 40 years ago.
Did you miss the part about "staying on topic".JoeB131's life has not worked out as he planned. Like other Jew haters he takes out his anger on the most successful 0.2% of the human population.
I'm happy for you, I guess. And some day you'll even grow up. My experiences have been different.What I have learned about reading about the Jews confirms the positive opinion I have of them that is based on personal experience.

who is "they" and for what do you want "jewish slumlords" prosecutedI wish they would prosecute Jewish slumlords... but they don't.
can you expand on that idea in context, JOE? While you are at it, please define the boundaries of "PALESTINE" as you understand itDid you miss the part about "staying on topic".
Life is what happens in the way of your carefully laid plans... when you group up, you'll find this out, hopefully.
I'm pretty happy in my life. Professionally, romantically... things simply couldn't be better, in case you are interested.

That's nice, but the point is, we see the result of that kind of thinking in Palestine, don't we? Jews have certain rights and privileges, the "goyim" do not.
Thank you! I intentionally put this thread on antisemitism being spread on liberal college campuses in a Zone 1 thread so as to keep the antisemites from flooding in to engage in their Jew-hate, and I appreciate your efforts to try to keep the topic civil.Numerous off topic and inappropriate post were removed from this thread.
Please stay on the thread topic and comply with
Zone 1 rules and guidelines or thread bans will be initiated.
Below are Zone 1 rules and giidelines for reference:
"Zone 1": Clean Debate Zone (CDZ) / Introduce Yourself (Welcome Threads) / The Lounge / Announcements / Race Relations-Racism / Religion and Ethics:
Civil discourse is the focus here, regardless of topic matter.
No insults, name calling, or putting down other posters (flaming). Consider it a lesson in civics."
that may be how you want to tie your personal reflections on Jews you have met with the foreign policy of a secular government 7000 miles away but that doesn't make it relevant, correct or useful.That's nice, but the point is, we see the result of that kind of thinking in Palestine, don't we? Jews have certain rights and privileges, the "goyim" do not.
