Anti-Semitism, Jewish hypocrisy & assimilation

The Spiritual Roots of Anti-Semitism
by Sara Yoheved Rigler

Why the world hates the Jews, and what we can do to respond.



I read the article above and basically agree with it, but added this comment at the www.Aish.com site (wonder if they'll publish it?):

Jewish hypocrisy throws fuel on the fires of anti-Semitism

I speak about the spiritual source of anti-Semitism within Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall, persecution for holy reasons due to the Jews being identified with biblical absolutes. However, too many Jews in their self-imposed exile (far away from the Jewish homeland) hypocritically talk about Judaism and preach against Jesus (not just in response to conversion attempts), creating a natural animosity they have only themelves to blame for. Such Jews give all Jews a bad name, besides desecrating the Holy Name.

Romans 2:17-29

17Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God; 18if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

25Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. 26If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? 27The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

28A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.
