Maybe you missed it, but according to the article spitting on Christians has been an obligation of Jews since about 200 A.D. when the Church was extremely weak, extremely persecuted, and hardly in a position to persecute Jews.

The Church has not been persecuting Jews for 2000 years. That started much later amd was due, in large part, to the persecution Jews had previously visited upon Christians. There is much to be forgiven on both sides, but these Jews who are guilty of this offense owe their very existence to the WWII selflessness of those they spit upon. Their actions are reprehensible and an offense to their God.

While there is no excuse for spitting at any human being, I can understand how this came to be.

At least they aren’t doing any forced conversions, burning anyone at the stake, torturing people to get them admit their secret religious practices, preaching to their congregants to kill Cristians to avenge incidents which may or may not have happened 2 thousand years ago, etc.

Let’s be honest, the Church brutalized this people for 2,0000 years. They have been good reason to be fearful, spiteful, and angry at the Church. It’s going to take a very long time to get people to shed those feelings.

In this remarkable, balanced book, the author skillfully reviews and compares “traditional” and “revisionist” views on the “The Holocaust.”

On one side is the traditional, orthodox view — six million Jewish casualties, gas chambers, cremation ovens, mass graves, and thousands of witnesses. On the other is the view of a small band of skeptical writers and researchers, often unfairly labeled “deniers,” who contend that the public has been gravely misled about this emotion-laden chapter of history.

The author establishes that the arguments and findings of revisionist scholars are substantive, and deserve serious consideration. He points out, for example, that even the eminent Jewish Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg acknowledged that there was no budget, plan or order by Hitler for a World War II program to exterminate Europe’s Jews.

This book is especially relevant right now, as “Holocaust deniers” are routinely and harshly punished for their “blasphemy,” and as growing numbers of people regard the standard, Hollywoodized “Holocaust” narrative with mounting suspicion and distrust.

The author of this book, who writes under the pen name of “Thomas Dalton,” is an American scholar who holds a doctoral degree from a major US university.

This is no peripheral debate between arcane views of some obscure aspect of twentieth century history. Instead, this is a clash with profound social-political implications regarding freedom of speech and press, the manipulation of public opinion, how our cultural life is shaped, and how power is wielded in our society.
