According to Dawkins, American Jews “more or less monopolise American foreign policy as far as many people can see. So if atheists could achieve a small fraction of that influence, the world would be a better place."

Dawkins scores a trifecta for European intellectuals: His claim is anti-semitic, slanders religion, and asserts victimhood.

That's a heck of a jump in logic by the author. His belief in the power of the Jewish lobby makes him anti-Semitic??? I know Jews are smarter than to believe this jump in logic. Anyone who would say it is logical would bring Jews into disrepute.

I might love blacks/Asians and you might hate them in equal measure. But what abo...

I might love blacks/Asians and you might hate them in equal measure. But what about the 80% 99% who could not care less one way or the other. Similarly X may be anti-Semitic and Y a Zionist but what are all those who could not care less so long as the Jews don't bother them. Anti-Semitic too? Sounds like teddy bear land to me.

What jump? Sure, the exact words are not themselves bigoted, but we are all familiar with the Elders of Zion type screeds that the phrase "American Jews more or less monopolise American foreign policy" is code for. Neither of us is that naive.

I'm even more confused now. Previously it was the extraordinary jump in logic. Now it's some code. Is it a secret code? If so, how do you know what it is? I'm going back to the logic where I know something.

I gave a number of examples. If you cannot deal with my examples then pick some of your own that might explain this lack of logic of the jump from anti-Semitic to Zionist with nothing in between. Like Bush's 'with us or against us' cr...

Like Bush's 'with us or against us' crap and no neutrals that ended with the dollar on the floor and no friends. You understand me now.

Leave out your code unless it explains the jump. Is the code Christian, Jewish, Muslim or what? It won't bother me as they mean nothing to me.
