why do jews get a pass when it comes to racism?

[FinnAgain]

Another example, Brickner refers to his group as “Messianic Jews” when he’s trying to convert Jews, but what does he refer to them as when he’s addressing Christians?

[

“I guess that sets us and Jesus in direct contradiction to the document,” continues Brickner. "This is an attack on Jews for Jesus and other Christian groups who hold to the uniqueness of Christ.

And, fine, here’s other bits of “testimony”.

he realized his Jewishness wasn’t just some accident of nature, but that God had a plan and purpose, not only for the Jewish people as a whole, but for Sam personally.

An Orthodox Jew has never heard of Tikun Olam? He isn’t aware of God’s covenant with the Jewish people, or that theologically being Jewish is not “some accident of nature” but that we have been Chosen to accept the burden of The Law?

As Sam looked at some Old Testament prophecies, they seemed to point to Jesus.

An Orthodox Jew wouldn’t know that all the “prophecies that seem to point to Jesus” are, uniformly, mistranslated, massaged within an inch of their lives, or taken wildly out of context? An Orthodox Jew is, in fact, totally ignorant of what being the Moshiach actually means in Jewish theology?

At best, there’s something extremely fishy going on.
At best.

How about another?

European Jews have seldom enjoyed complete freedom, but there was no hint of the approaching holocaust while I was growing up in a tiny forest village near Chelm, Poland.

](Rachmiel Frydland - Why Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah)

No hint… in Poland a country that, after the Holocaust saw roving gangs of Poles set about murdering Jews.

[

In 1918, Poland became a sovereign state. Following Poland’s rebirth, a reign of terror against the Jews began. Jews were massacred in pogroms by Poles who associated Trotsky and the Bolshevik revolution with Jewry
[…]
Economic conditions declined for Polish Jews during the inter-war years. Jews were not allowed to work in the civil service, few were public school teachers, almost no Jews were railroad workers and no Jews worked in state-controlled banks or state-run monopolies (i.e. the tobacco industry). Legislation was enacted forcing citizens to rest on Sunday, ruining Jewish commerce that was closed on Saturday. Their economic downfall was accompanied by a rise of anti-Semitism. In the late 1930’s a new wave of pogroms befell the community and anti-Jewish boycotts were enacted.

No hints, near Chelm, Poland.

[

My young friend, Shneiur Wasserman, the well known writer and poet from Chelm, states in his memoirs about the destruction of Chelm in Morgn Freiheit [Morning Freedom] the following important episode: - During the Polish-Bolshevik War, when the Polish Halertchikes [soldiers under the command of General Jozek Haller during and after the First World War, who were widely reported to be anti-Semitic and perpetrators of violence against Jews], arrived in Chelm, they would often attack the Jews and rip their beards. A pogrom against the Jews in Chelm also broke out at that time in which approximately 100 Jews were wounded and one Jew was killed. Many houses and shops had a pogrom against them.

@But wait

After the meeting, I talked with the preacher. He read several passages from the Old Testament that he said were prophecies about the long awaited Messiah of Israel. I could give different interpretations for all but one of the passages. Daniel 9:24-26

](Rachmiel Frydland - Why Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah)

This is a traditional and particularly Christian misinterpretation of the passage, and one we’ve discussed on the Dope, actually.

@FinnAgain

Just taking one, let’s look at Daniel 9.

Now keep in mind that “messiah” is a Christian mis-translation and, in any case the time line is totally wrong for this prophecy to apply to Jesus.There was half a millennium between the Restoration of Jerusalem and the birth of Jesus. And rather than 62 weeks between his anointing and the destruction of Jerusalem, it was roughly 40 years past his death until the destruction of Jersualem. It was roughly 600 *years * between the rebuilding of Jerusalem under Cyrus and its destruction at the hands of the Romans in 70 CE. And Titus, the Roman general who led the siege and would later become Emperor didn’t die of a flood.

But aside from all that, sure, it’s totally a prophecy of Jesus.
