-Caveat Lector- Jewish Racism against Arabs
"Arabs are beasts, no human beings. Their flesh is flesh from mules and therefor they should be treated as such." this is part of "the greatest work of Jewish religious philosophy" ============ In 1962, a part of the Maimonidean Code referred to above, the so-called Book of Knowledge, which contains the most basic rules of Jewish faith and practice ... Maimonides ... was also a philosopher and his Guide to the Perplexed is justly considered to be the greatest work of Jewish religious philosophy and is widely read and used even today. Unfortunately, in addition to his attitude towards non-Jews generally and Christians in particular, Maimonides was also an anti-Black racist. Towards the end of the Guide, in a crucial chapter (book III, chapter 51) he discusses how various sections of humanity can attain the supreme religious value, the true worship of God. Among those who are incapable of even approaching this are: " Some of the Turks [i.e., the Mongol race] and the nomads in the North, and the Blacks and the nomads in the South, and those who resemble them in our climates. And their nature is like the nature of mute animals, and according to my opinion they are not on the level of human beings, and their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey, because they have the image and the resemblance of a man more than a monkey does." Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, Pluto Press, London 1994, page 24/25 (Chapter 2: Prejudice and Prevarication) The fruits of the greatest Jewish philosophy flourishes in modern Israel and modern Judaism Sharon Kalimi is a member of a strict orthodox Breslau Hasidim community and he expresses openly a view that is now common amongst pious Jews, according to the highly respected German daily 'Süddeutsche Zeitung'. We quote from the Süddeutsche Zeitung: Süddeutsche Zeitung (Munich), April 3,1999 (SZ On Easter) page III The Spring of Hate Sharon Kalimi, a Hasidim Jew: "Arabs are beasts, no human beings. Their flesh is flesh from mules and therefor they should be treated as such." http://www.ummah.net/unity/palestine/judaism/arabs.htm __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
