...vicious lies, and this is what makes him so dangerous. Don't accept Jeffries' claims as fact, or collectively reject them. It is on the field of scholarship that Jeffries chooses to spread his hate, and it is on the field of scholarship that we must shatter his vile lies. "Don't be mad...Be prepared." Don't cite rhymes. Cite facts. George S. Schneiderman...
Jeffries' charge of Jewish responsibility for the Atlantic Slave Trade is just utter ignorance.

True, Christian theology is occasionally tarnished by vile anti-Semitism, but then again, the Hebrew bible advises atrocious punishments for women who grab men's genitals and even commands Jews to commit genocide against the Amalekites. We should no more revile the apostles than the prophets. For Dershowitz, who sees everything through the lens of his paranoia, any whiff of anti-Semitism disqualifies all manner of good deeds...
