Y'know TJ, I think we would agree that rancid butter though I may be, I'm typically on your side of the bread. That said, I gotta tell you that you're one of the most remarkable generators of false equivalencies I've run into in a long time. They're most often exceedingly entertaining...not this time though.

I don't think it's all that false.

Are you trying to tell me that Jews have had it worse than black people?

They were given a part of Kenya, which is now in Uganda, by the British, but a Jewish faction refused on the grounds that it needed land which has the
biblical Judea and Samaria.

Judea and Samaria are in the West Bank.

Wage slavery made it all but impossible for many to leave.

Still, quite a few did leave.

And now that trend is reversing.

That's too bad. It seems to go one way or the other depending on where you're at.

Tom, black and Jew? Tough one. I've thought about it. I used to think is was a no brainer, the Jews had it worse. Then I learned as many blacks died in forced crossing of the Atlantic as Jews in the holocaust.

That said I still think the Jews have had it worse. Not that it makes what happened to black folks ok (though I'm sure someone will say it's what I'm doing) but with the Jews, it's a directed thing, an active thing, and there's this underlying almost drive to point to the Jews as responsible for the world's ills, a drive to conspiracy, that certainly doesn't exist towards black folks. Perhaps because they can be insular and tend to be successful? I don't know. My 02.

Blacks have had it worse.

Jews are white, except for a few converts like Sammy Davis Jr.

And when you are white you can always just hide your Judaism.

Like Leslie Sue Goldstein did.

When you are black it's kinda hard to do that, although Michael Jackson gave it a try.

Here is a good article describing the Israeli perception.

I am quite ambivalent about this whole Israeli Palestinian issue, except for the military funding of Israel while continuing to promote peace talks as if the US is neutral, as well as the vetoes of UN resolutions on Israel's behalf. That is hypocrisy.

Another interesting item.
