Anti-semitism

In the world I have seen, Jews are different than gentiles. I am 67 years old and have had Jewish friends and Jewish enemies in my life. Sometimes Jews were more abrasive and insensitive than the gentiles I know. Sometimes Jews were manipulative. Other times Jews have been the warmest most reasonable people I knew. My conclusions are not irrational, but they may be lopsided because of lopsided life experiences. However, make no mistake about it, as a group, Jews are different than gentiles.

Hate Jews? No! Like Jews? Sometimes, Yes! I simply adore Jewish humor!! What I seek now is to know specifically why Nazis collected Jews. What purpose drove them. It is not just irrational hate, there were some underlying reasons.

My enemies are not always crazy, sometimes they just misunderstand me or can't allow me to exist because my existence is threatening. I seek the Nazi reasons, open and freely given to collect Jews. Anybody who is willing to offer any of them, please do so.

Additional hate writing in Christianity

Some of the works of Martin Luther - advocating among other things, burning synagogues and Jewish books and driving Jews out of Europe - were echoed almost verbatim in Mein Kampf.

A brilliant thesis Rabbi Kaplan...
Please don't stop posting your lectures online, I enjoy them so much that I feel like I musn't be learning Torah! I especially enjoy all the "The Rabbi and the Scientist" lectures.
