As Christians we were raised to be kind to all but especially to the Jews, who were God's chosen people. I was even circumcised by what Ma always said was a real traditional person for that, I guess a mohel? On the eighth day. I never looked that up so I don't know why. We were supposed to be on the lookout for Jews and angels, who could visit unawares. The Jews are certainly special--just surviving through all that. All those travails and travels. They're like those Bic pens--take a lickin' but keep on tickin'. Keep on Tikkun Olam.

There was a time when it was believed that everyone had fundamental human rights, which were accessible—equally—to everyone on the planet. It cannot be argued any longer that such rights are being taken away from some with impunity and claimed with pious self-righteousness to be of higher value for some over others. This was not the promise of the god of Abraham and has only taken place because of the successful efforts of atheists and non-believers to displace our Creator and proclaim themselves the higher power over Humanity. We have seen this movie before, and it always ends the same way. God bless you for standing up for what you believe... As an unashamed Christian, I stand with you.
