that in the degree of harm inflicted by these two siblings on others, they run neck and neck.. the carnage inflicted on native americans (both nort and south) by missionaries and then on jews and all the other carnages, compare very favourably with the carnage inflicted my muslims on hindus and others.
There are precious few ethnic or religious groups whose hands, when examined from a broader historical perspective, are free of blood.
Quote:all the evidence i suggested proves that anti semitism is on a high.
Not only does it not 'prove' your case, the only significant data provided doesn't even
support your case. The survey of anti-semitic attitudes in Europe that you cite clearly shows that such attitudes have, in general, declined since last year;
all of the other information you've provided is anecdotal--it isn't statistically generalizable. If you want to prove your case, you need hard numbers showing that the number of people holding anti-semitic views is increasing internationally (the data you cite shows the opposite), that Neo-Nazi membership is growing (in more than just a few isolated nations), or that specifically anti-Jewish crimes has increased internationally. You do none of this.
It is irrelevant to the present discussion--your link simply gives the definition and other relevant information on Neo-Nazism; there's no data on growth or decline provided.
However, I found this quote in the Wikipedia entry for the Anti-Defamation League:
"The ADL has virtually abandoned its earlier role as a civil rights organization, becoming 'one of the main pillars' of Israeli propaganda in the U.S.
These efforts, buttressed by insinuations of anti-Semitism or direct accusations, are intended to deflect or undermine opposition to Israeli policies, including Israel's refusal, with U.S. support, to move towards a general political settlement."Chomsky,

Unfortunately, I'll have to withhold judgment on the last ADL link you've provided--the ADL website seems to be offline for the moment. With regard to your last post--you do realize that, unfortunately, anti-semitic/racist rallies have been taking place in America since long before there was any such thing as Nazism. That an Aryan rally took place last month is a sad testament to the fact that such stupidity still lives among us, but it doesn't prove that such stupidity is on the rise.
