(Note: I am a Christian, and don ¢â‚¬â„¢t like the flavour of this article, which has floated around the Internet for a number of years ¢â‚¬“ and needs updating. I would, for example, dispute the idea that Jews don’t force the world’s media to see their side of the story: they do it better than anyone. But I post it here for information, and invite any Muslims or others reading this to present an article giving ¢â‚¬Ëœthe other side of the story ¢â‚¬â„¢. Rowland Croucher, December 2004). Update May 2010: only one person has responded in the past 16 years, a young Saudi man who said ‘But we are human too!’ I emailed him inviting him to correspond some more, but unfortunately didn’t hear from him again).

The Jews are not demonstrating with their dead on the streets, yelling and chanting and asking for revenge, the Jews are not promoting brain-washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims. The Jews don ¢â‚¬â„¢t hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, the Jews don ¢â‚¬â„¢t traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
The Jews don ¢â‚¬â„¢t have the economical strength of Petroleum, nor the possibilities to force the world ¢â‚¬â„¢s media to see ¢â‚¬Å“their side ¢â‚¬ of the question. Perhaps if the world ¢â‚¬â„¢s Muslims could invest more in normal education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems, we could all live in a better world.

Comment by Facebook friends:
“Here is a source, Rowland – from the February 2006 Edition of the Jewish Magazine – and most of the other places that this information is published on the web seem to have Jewish audiences. The argument within it is clearly intended to propose that Jewish people are much nicer and smarter than those despicable Muslims.”
“So, given the source, and proposed audience, how is it possible to balance it out? I think it simply has to be judged for what it is – a piece of Jewish propaganda.”
****
“The way we balance it is to stop building up walls between us and our Muslim neighbors and start loving, forgiving, showing mercy. Love always wins. Maybe talk about how many people Israel has killed in Palestine(palestinians) in the last 50odd years? Maybe how many Palestinians have been displaced and become homeless because of the ‘Jewish’ community? Maybe point out how the ‘Jewish’ people have one of the strongest military forces in the world? Maybe point out how Israel lied about having Nuclear weapons until one of there own blew the whistle on them? Maybe point out that you MUST serve in the military in Israel once of age?
Just because a nation or people produces many ‘peace prizes’ winners, doesn’t mean it is a people who prize peacefulness.”
****
(From a theologically-liberal Christian): “The first fact required in understanding the article is that Jews value knowledge of all sorts. The mind is not considered evil but a gift from God. You will find Jews in the highest positions of all human endeavours.
It would be interesting to also list the prize winners who are practicising Christians. My guess is that Jews would still outnumber the Christians as Christians devalue the mind in favour of divine revelation and unquestioning obedience to a bible.”
****
Is it one-sided propaganda? Yes, I think it is. However the Jews are on the wrong end of a lot of propaganda, so I guess it is reasonable to generate a bit of their own.”
