"Though it is sometimes forgotten today, [Jewish psychoanalyist Sigmund] Freud's work was profoundly subversive to the cultural underpinnings of European Christian society, a subversiveness of which he was not unaware. There is evidence that some of the impetus for the creation of psychoanalysis lay in his hostility to Christianity." ----Stanley Rothman/S. Robert Lichter, Roots of Radicalism, Oxford University Press, 1982, p. 125]

"In the years following the Holocaust, memories of Jews gratifiying their vengeance and giving vent to their 'indiscriminating hatred' [in the massacre of 30,000-90,000 Christians by Jews in the Holy Land after the Persian invasion in 614] began to fade, being displaced increasingly by the Sartrean [Jean Paul Sartre] Jew, 'passionately hostile to violence' ... Although the Jews of Palestine undoubtedly participated in the wide-scale violence against Christians and their houses of worship in 614, their precise role has been open to keen debate. Differences of opinion, however, have often revolved less around what actually happened than around how much should be told and how."---Elliott Horowitz, The Vengeance of the Jews Was Stronger Than Their Avarice, Jewish Social Studies, January 31, 1998

"For many Jews, the cross is a source of contamination. From time to time, I have helped helped organize Jewish-Christian meetings at Catholic locations. There will almost always be some invited Jewish participants who inquire whether there are any crucifixes in the meeting rooms or in the room in  which the participants sleep. If so, some participants will refuse to attend or inquire whether the crucifixes can be covered over or removed. What is going on here?" ----Michael Wsychogrod, Jewish philosophy professor, Sh'ma, October 27, 1989, p. 146

"I had no contacts with Christianity at all. On the way to school we passed a Roman Catholic Church and A Russian Orthodox church, and we spat, pronouncing the words found in Deuteronomy 7:26: ' ... thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing ...' Why should we say such horrible words? The [Christian] people looked so pious. They came from surrounding villages to worship, and they never bothered us." ----from the memories of his Eastern European Jewish youth by Rachmiel Frydland, When Being Jewish Was a Crime, Thomas Nelson, Inc., Nashville, 1978, p. 55

"Christmas, the most joyous holiday to Christians, has been among the most dreaded of days throughout Jewish history ... The nativity scene ... is not a religious symbol ...; it is an insult to the memory of the many Jews for not accepting the divine birth depicted in the 'secular' nativity scene." ---Alan Dershowitz, Chutzpah, Little, Brown, & Co., NY, 1991, p. 332

"I am appalled by the great injustice being perpetrated by those Jewish organizations [the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Congress, World Jewish Congress, etc.] that engage in anti-Christian bigotry. Although many of them were founded explicitly to fight bigotry, and for many years did just that, today the shrill rhetoric and hate-filled propaganda found in their direct mail is discriminatory and divisive. The very same Jewish organizations would be the loudest protesters were anything remotely similar being said by non-Jews about Jews." ---Rabbi Daniel Lapin, America's Real War, Multnomah Publishers, Oregon, 1999, p. 2]

"The goyim [non-Jews]," Lazar told me, as we crossed the street again, "will always be goyim, no matter how nice they are to you. So what's the point?" Lazar's comments underscored the [ultra-Orthodox] Hasidim's contempt for non-Jews, which wasn't limited to Postville [Iowa] gentiles, but to all Christians." ---Stephen Bloom, Postville. A Clash of Cultures in Heartland America, A Harvest Book, Harcourt, 2001, p. 196

From Renewal to Rubble in Occupied Bethlehem,
International Herald Tribune, April 15, 2002
"Israeli tanks have turned historic Madbassah Square into rubble, three years after it was renovated at a cost of $2 million. Fires and explosives have ruined a 300-year-old pilgrims' hostel with soaring arches that took two years to refurbish. A once-sparkling new artists' colony, recently completed for $600,000, has been ransacked and defaced. Starting in 1998, the people of Bethlehem began an ambitious makeover of their dilapidated city, sinking more than $250 million into projects designed to lure tourists to a destination that Christians venerate as the birthplace of Jesus. Most of the money came from foreign governments and aid agencies, which had hoped to turn Bethlehem into a showplace for an emerging Palestinian state. The centerpiece of the effort was the 2000 Millennium celebrations, which brought Pope John Paul II and numerous heads of state to the town of 30,000 people. Today, however, Bethlehem's Old City is in tatters, and the cost of repairing the damage to its historic and holy sites is expected to be enormous. Israeli troops have methodically blown up buildings and torn up the freshly paved streets since they invaded on April 2, destroying most of what had been accomplished in recent years and instilling in residents a deep sense of despair over what they view as a noble but wasted effort to revive the town. 'Everything has just collapsed,' said the mayor, Hanna Nasser. 'It has been a most terrible, most savage and most brutal occupation. I cannot imagine right now what our future will look like.'"

'Anti-Christian' Feelings Exploding In Israel, by Israel Shahak,

"Dishonouring Christian religious symbols is an old religious duty in Judaism. Spitting on the cross, an especially on the Crucifix, and spitting when a Jew passes a church, have been obligatory from around AD 200 for pious Jews. In the past, when the danger of anti-Semitic hostility was a real one, the pious Jews were commanded by their rabbis either to spit so that the reason for doing so would be unknown, or to spit onto their chests, not actually on the cross or openly before the church. The increasing strength of the Jewish state has caused these customs to become more open again but there should be no mistake: The spitting on the cross for converts from Christianity to Judaism, organized in Kibbutz Sa'ad and financed by the Israeli government is an act of traditional Jewish piety."
