it's often been said that jews are a rootless people. the 'wandering
jew' has been feared and admired, vilified and romanticized, exiled
and emulated.
the historical image of the jew is that of a people going from one
place to another for whatever reason--curiosity, moneymaking, getting
the boot, search for a new promised land. and, so jews have been
accused of having no roots and no desire to settle down like everyone
else and make a living; this is a rather funny accusation coming from
portuguese, spaniards, french, and british who did much more to
conquer and wander about the world. but, i suppose one could say
spanish, british, french, and portuguese explored and conquered the
world for their mother country whereas jews always went for a ride on
the backs of other people. before jews were...

they came from india,
somehow their legend got tied up in slavery in eqypt.
then they were raided by babylonia and taken into captivity
then the romans blew them away stole jesus and made a religion out of
him throwing the jews out.
then we end up hearing about the progroms of russia
and then the nazi period
then the foundation of a new country at the same time kuwait was
created.
it is one of those areas of the world everyone has fought over since
the begining.
you can control that whole area of the world from jerusalem is the way
it was explained once.
the anti semetism on christnet is getting alarming over the top.
the constant need to pic on other religions seems very odd.
is there that much insecurity in christianity?
is torture the real purpose of christianity?
is making people afraid the real doctrine of christianity?
