People can express difference in many ways but the ways in which Jews
express there difference seems to be repugnant to most people they come
in contact with. It is interesting to note that almost all polite
discussions on the treatment of Jews seem to make the asumption that they
have been persecuted throughout history through no fault of their own,
which I find difficult to believe.
Although I not an historian, I like to read history and would be
interested to see the subject treated seriously from a different
perspective.
