Dear Ariel: I AM NOT THE ONE WHO KEEPS ASKING ME THE QUESTIONS. I don't care if MT is a Druid. However he used the term Jewish after the discussion where he used the term Nazi. He tossed out the Jewish family ties as a defense to his calling MO a Nazi, in much the same way a racist, in defense of his or her racism, will say that some of their best friends are this that or another. JEWISH IS A RACE, Judaism is a religion. I am dumb struck that you do not understand that.
During the Holocaust The Jews were persecuted because of their race not their religion. Hitler was interested in eliminating the Jewish race not the religion. It is a know fact that many of them converted to Christianity but that did not keep them out of the concentration camps, if their genealogies showed that they had Jewish blood in their backgrounds off to the camps they went. It amazes me that there are a few who have responded to this dreary posting who don't understand that. I have always been of the opinion that this group was considered highly educated, I guess I am wrong on that point.
