another unpleasant participation in the mondoweiss hatefest. instead of posting to there, i will post to here
On the topic of the rationalism or rationales behind Jew hatred. Granted that Nazi Jew hatred was based upon a rational fear of communism, but the response was irrational. 1) If Nazism had not chased the Jews out of Germany, Germany rather than the US would have emerged as the first country to develop an atomic bomb. 2) The misuse of resources to kill the Jews rather than to win the war is proof that something that originally had a rational explanation ended up being extremely irrational.
On the topic of which type of hatred dominates the world at present, it is fair to say that anti Arab, anti Muslim discrimination is much worse than Jew hatred in North America and in Europe at present. But there are other parts of the world where hatred of Jews is the predominant hatred.
