Um....you're not quite correct. There are `two' overt Jew haters in Fidonet,
and I have one of those individual's hatred of Jews fully documented.


Any time you want a few quotes of that person's hatred of Jews, just say so.


By the way........the term `Anti-Semite is pretty misleading. Its a title
which was sort of `hyjacked' over the decades, much like the word `Gay' was
hyjacked by the homosexual (both male and female variety) crowd.


The term `Anti-Semite' is hurled at people all the time, but a surprising
number of supposedly educated and highly intelligent numbere of them don't
really use it properly.



SEMITE:


It is a family of languages, mostly of Mid-Eastern origin, which includes:


Akkadian, Amharic, Arabic, Aramic, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Phoenician, Tigre
and Tigrinya.


The term *Semite* refers to a member of any of a variety of Peoples
originating in Southwestern Asia. It includes (whether you like it or not)
Canaanites (probably today known as `Palestinins'), Ethiopians, and Arabs.


First of all.......modern-day Jews, a vast majority of them aren't even `from'
that area of the world! they were born on other countries completely
unconnected from that region; European countries, as well as America.


So.....the term `Anti-Semite' is nothing more than a buzz-word used by
politicians, some major segments of modern society's the world over to
indicate racial hatred toward Jews.


But......*Jew* is not a race! Any more than `Catholic' is a race! Any more
than Hockey Player is a race!


It is a `religion'. Nothing more.
