MikeParticipantHistorical anti-semitism, as opposed to anti-Israeli feelings, probably come from a variety of sources. There have been Christian leaders who blamed the Jews for the death of Jesus, others resent their refusal to convert to Christianity, or resent their historical refusal to abandon their traditions. Consciously setting yourself apart from your neighbors just seems to attract abuse.

MikeParticipantSpeaking only for myself, I feel that my greatest loss is never learning my mother’s language. My parents only had English in common, so that was what was spoken at home. I believe that our languages embody the spirit of our cultures. How you view the world is intimately tied to how you express yourself, and vice versa. The physical artifacts of culture can be relearned or replicated but once a language is gone, it’s gone forever.
