The enduring negative stereotype of Jews as "greedy" therefore derived from medieval opposition to finance capital."<br /><br />(If "therefore" reasoning were only that easy).<br /><br />The funniest part is: "social role as financers". Yes, financing is a social role, and who would call that a greedy one these days?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-3315900464271782432011-09-29T11:13:21.836+01:002011-09-29T11:13:21.836+01:00In my earlier reading Cook was not (dis)approving ...In my earlier reading Cook was not (dis)approving Atzmon's anti-semitism, he was criticising Andy Newman's statements about it (and more): unsourced, book unread, micro-quotes out of context, smearing without allowing response. Indeed, Newman did not convince me Atzmon (who's name he used in the title) is an anti-semite at all. And, in current usage of "anti-semitism", to me that means: no anti-semitism proven here. <br /><br />As you, Tony, explain in a secondary section here, Newman's piece is a hodgepodge of errors and sloppyness. And especially cheap logic by association. Newman writes: "Sometimes well-meaning people fail to recognise antisemitism when they encounter it" -- yeah, we should ask Newman first to point it out. Still you state "it struck the right note".<br /><br />Cook was not doing a "defence" of Atzmon. He was attacking the smearing in the article, put up prominently by the editor. <br /><br />Given Newman's piece, versus titling and opening of your post with Cook's name, maybe the post should be retitled "some spelling errors could be in a secondary piece on an all explaning majestic primary piece", in a bigger font.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-90867442836669043302011-09-26T19:39:00.371+01:002011-09-26T19:39:00.371+01:00"Along the years I have heard Palestinians, M..."Along the years I have heard Palestinians, Muslims and Arabs complaining that British Solidarity organizations hardly reflects their voice.

And what you've written is far more accurate and nuanced than other pundits on this particular issue. <br /><br />It's a sad irony that you've been at the forefront of condemning Atzmon, and yet people who are now following in your wake are the same generally deriding you. <br /><br />Best wishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
