This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.
JTA: Greek weekly calls Jews 'Christ killers' - '...George Karatzaferis, the publisher of A1, also wrote in the Sunday issue that "in less than 70 years the main victims of Hitler's brutality turned into the same heinous murderers as their persecutor." "Israel feels that in the name of the Holocaust it can still misbehave, be indecent, blackmail, and debase institutions and people," the editorial in the 6,000 circulation weekly said. Karatzaferis, the head of the far right political party LAOS, says that with some effort the Jews could be placed among the nations of justice, "but what do you expect from a race that crucified God the only time he came to earth." Later he asks rhetorically, "Yet would God killers care about a few hundred innocent children?" The editorial ends by saying, "Unfortunately it is known all over the world that a Jew smells of blood."...'
A despicable arrogation and perversion on every level, a revulsion, below contempt, a putrifaction.
It appears the article is more politically motivated than "theologically," but if any Christian is tempted to entertain such perversity as meriting serious consideration, they should seek mature counsel. I'd also recommend mature confessions, such as that found in Bonhoeffer's "Ethics," in the chpt. titled "The Confession of Guilt."
Apologies for the visceral reaction, but this is something that is deserving of such a reaction if anything is.
