Dear well off Jewish Woman at the talk today:

You do not, really not, absolutely not, NEVER FUCKING NOT have the right to criticise a Holocaust survivor when he tells you he does not believe in god. Or go into a rant about how the Jews are clearly the chosen people and how can he not admit the obvious truth yadda yadda yadda.

SERIOUSLY WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? I'VE MET NEO-NAZIS WHO'VE BEHAVED BETTER!

Sometimes I simply despair of 'humanity'.

Sigh :o(

Err... in context of the holocaust, I would not - under any circumstances - start talking about "chosen people"... That would be the height of criminal irony -_-

Sounds like that was.....interesting. In any case, if the Jews really *are* the chosen people of an Almighty God that's one of the better arguments for atheism I've ever heard. As in that case God's either not Almighty or evil.

Ah yes, like the new rabbi at my school when I was ten who decided only children who were halachicly Jewish (both parents Jewish) would be considered Jewish by the School.

And the old gentleman who stood up at the parents evening and rolled up his sleeve and dared the rabbi to tell him with "only" a Jewish father, that he was not Jewish, or that his grandchildren weren't.

Some people....

Don't think there's ever a right time to be telling people that they 'should' believe in something they don't, but that really takes the insensitivity biscuit. What a complete jerk.

Ever get the feeling some people have never known a moment of real suffering in their whole lives?

As a Jew who lost relatives in the Holocaust, this just sickens me."Chosen People' - yeah, talk about an inappropriate reference! Every time I hear that phrase I think of Tevye asking god to "choose someone else for a change."

Dammit, some people are so... stupid? not there?... something it's a wonder they can breathe. I'd say that woman never learned the value of empathy. >.>
