GUEST POST: USA Jews vs British Jews

USA Jews vs British Jews
a guest post by Mr. Cohen

According to recent articles in the Algemeiner Jewish newspaper,

British Jews are leaving the Labour Party because of anti-Semitism

in that party.

When will American Jews wake up and leave the Democratic Party,

for the same reason?

GUEST POST: JUDAISM UNDER ROME

JUDAISM UNDER THE ROMAN EMPIRE
a GUEST POST from Mr. Cohen

NOTE: The four quotes shown below are from Flavius Josephus,

who was born in year 37 CE and was still alive in 81 CE.

“It was known even to the Romans that they [the Jews]
did no work of any kind when the seventh day came around…”

SOURCE: The Jewish War (chapter 14, page 241) by Flavius Josephus, translated by G.A. Williamson, 1984, published by Penguin Classics, ISBN: 0140444203 ISBN: 978-0140444209

____________________________________________________________
“The next day Pilate took his seat on the tribunal in the great stadium
and summoned the mob, on the pretext that he was ready to give them answer.

Instead, he gave a pre-arranged signal to the soldiers to surround the Jews in full armor, and the troops formed a ring three [Roman soldiers] deep. The Jews were dumbfounded at the unexpected sight, but Pilate, declared that he would cut them to pieces unless they accepted images of Caesar, nodded to their soldiers to bare [reveal] their swords.

At this the Jews, as though by agreement, fell to the ground in a body and bent their necks, shouting that they were ready to be killed, rather than transgress the Law [of the Torah].

Amazed at the intensity of their religious fervor, Pilate ordered the standards to be removed from Jerusalem forthwith.”

SOURCE: The Jewish War (chapter 7, bottom of page 138) by Flavius Josephus, translated by G.A. Williamson, 1984, published by Penguin Classics, ISBN: 0140444203 ISBN: 978-0140444209
____________________________________________________________
“…Domitian [the Emperor of Rome from year 81 to 96 CE. He was the younger brother of Titus and son of Vespasian] was becoming more and more of a tyrant as his reign proceeded, hostile to converts to Judaism for their refusal to participate in the worship which he as a living emperor demanded…”

____________________________________________________________
“At this time the people of Damascus, learning of the destruction of the Roman force, were eager to exterminate the Jews in their midst. As they had them cooped in the gymnasium for a long time now, taking this precaution as a result of suspicion, the task appeared perfectly simple: but they were afraid of their own wives, who had almost all gone over to the Jewish religion, so that their chief anxiety was to keep them in the dark.”

“… [in the time of the Roman Empire] it is estimated that there were

over three million Romans who had converted to Judaism…”

GUEST POST: Jewish NYC Mayor

Two Quotes from Jewish NYC Mayor
a guest post by Mr. Cohen

MICROBIOGRAPHY: Edward I. Koch was a secular Jew.

He was Mayor of New York City from 1/1/1978 to 12/31/1989.

QUOTE 1:

“I’m very conscious of being Jewish,” says Koch.
He is also conscious of, and threatened by,
what he considers widespread black anti-Semitism.

As a member of Congress, he seethed at black colleagues
who voted against aid for Israel; he feared that their votes
were an expression of their hostility to Jews.

In his oral memoirs of [year] 1975 and [year] 1976,
Koch reveals his innermost feelings about race relations:

“I find the black community very anti-Semitic.

I don’t care what the American Jewish Congress or the B’nai B’rith

will issue by way of polls showing that the black community is not.

I think that’s pure bull….

They’d like to believe that.

My experience with blacks is that they’re basically anti-Semitic.

Now I want to be fair about it.
I think that whites are basically anti-black….

But the difference is:
it is recognized as morally reprehensible, something you have to control.”

SOURCE: Mayor: An Autobiography (chapter 12, page 152)
by Edward I. Koch, year 1984, Simon & Schuster Publishers,
ISBN 0-671-49536-4

PERSONAL COMMENT:

It seems that the secular-Liberal Jewish establishment organizations
cannot be trusted to tell Jews the truth about anti-Semitism.

QUOTE 2:

“The Christian community has failed in every case
involving the Jews. People said after World War Two
that it could never happen again to the Jews.

But it is happening again. Not in the same way,
with concentration camps, but with the same disregard
for the Jewish community’s safety and security.

You know, today in Argentina there are 300,000 Jews
who are living on the edge of a sword. Today.
They can be expelled at any time. They have already
had their leader, [Jacobo] Timmerman, tortured and expelled.
You have the Jews in the Soviet Union. We would not
take in all those Jews if the Soviets were to expel them all.

And that is the way it is across the world.

And it is Israel that has to be there constantly.

And its security has to be safeguarded.

And this isn’t only the way religious Jews feel.

This is all Jews. It is me.”

SOURCE: Mayor: An Autobiography (chapter 16, page 229)
by Edward I. Koch, year 1984, Simon & Schuster Publishers,
ISBN 0-671-49536-4

PERSONAL COMMENT:

This quote reminds me of the good-old-days when secular Jews
and Liberal Jews – like Ed Koch -- were still solidly-pro-Israel.

GUEST POST: Forgotten Oppression

Forgotten Muslim Oppression against Jews
a guest post by Mr. Cohen

“According to a verse repeated twice in the Koran (2:58, 3:108) or at least according to its interpretation, God [Allah] has ordained that the Jews be poor.
In Yemen and other Muslim countries, this is taken literally.
The Jews avoid any appearance of affluence.

In times of anarchy or in regions beyond the reach of the central government, Jewish property, even houses, were taken away from them under the pretext that they presented a picture of wealth incompatible with the state assigned to the Jews by God [Allah].”

SOURCE: Jews and Arabs: Their Contacts through the Ages (chapter 5, page 75) by S. D. Goitein, 1955, 1964, 1970 by Schocken Books, New York, ISBN-10: 0805204644 ISBN-13: 978-0805204643, Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 55-7968

____________________________________________________________
Rabbi Ovadiah of Bartenura in a letter to his father in year 1488 August 15:

“Jews in Muslim lands make themselves appear poor.
They go about like an impoverished, despised people,
with their heads bowed before Muslims.”

CHRONOLOGY: Rabbi Ovadiah ben Abraham of Bartenura was born

around 1445 CE in Bertinoro, Italy, and died around 1515 CE in Jerusalem.

SOURCE: Pathway to Jerusalem: the Travel Letters
of Rabbi Ovadiah of Bartenura, written between
1488 and 1490 during his journey to the Holy Land (page 40)
translated by Yaakov Dovid Shulman, year 1992 CE, 93 pages,
CIS Publishers, Lakewood, New Jersey, ISBN 1-56062-130-3
____________________________________________________________

“A scourge even more terrible than the prohibition against [Jewish] emigration was the forced conversion of [Jewish] orphans practiced by the Shi’ites of Yemen.
Since [year] 1929 [CE], when I first began to study the language and life - it would be more correct to say the languages and lives - of the Jewish communities of Yemen, I have been collecting materiel on this sad chapter in Arab-Jewish symbiosis.

Its worst aspect perhaps was not so much its coercion in matters of conscience, terrible as that was, but the fact that children were torn away from their mothers and brothers from sisters. To my mind, this law, which was enforced with new vigor about thirty years ago, more than anything else impelled the Yemenite Jews to quit this country to which they were very much attached.”
