Not the most original idea ever

Jesus and Marx

My father says that the Jews have only one obligation to the nations and that is to give them a great moral figure once every 2000 years or so . And since we already gave them Marx we really owe them nothing for the next two millennia

No , my father doesn't think Marx was right or anything
He said great figure not right . And if you'd prefer you can take Freud instead (or you can take them together and leave us alone for the next four millennia)

There is an interesting parallel between early Christianity and modern day Marxism

I'm looking at two developments in early Christianity

If I understand correctly at the beginning when the "nazarenes" were still a Jewish or semi Jewish cult they believed that the end of the world is imminent but as it became clear that the second coming isn't coming they've changed their beliefs to accommodate it transferring the end of days to the far future
at the same time or maybe after that the Christians became rabidly anti Jewish , so much so that it was part of the core belief system

The parallels to modern marxism are obvious

"The Revolution" never happened , at least not the one that was supposed to happen , so Marxism or Socialism or whatever you want to call it is being reworked to fit the situation and at the same time it is becoming rabidly anti jewish

I've stumbled across an old Spengler post form the Asia Times

What the Jews won't tell you (Nov 2003)

It's about the reason for western anti semitism being the Jews immortality as a people and the envy/hate it causes

And I thought about a pithy way of saying it

Every western nation remembers Rome and despairs , The Jews remember Rome and laugh

A Mystery wrapped in an Enigma

The Headline in Allah's site

Help is (not) on the way

which leads to a story from the Washington times about the US presidential race

And here is something Kerry said regarding allies in Iraq

"... But at a town hall meeting yesterday, he [Kerry] said he knows other countries won't trade their soldiers' lives for those of U.S. troops.
... Asked about that statement later, Mr. Kerry said, "When I was referring to that, I was really talking about Germany and France and some of the countries that had been most restrained."
"Other countries are obviously more willing to accept responsibilities," he added, as he took questions from reporters in a school yard in Tipton, Iowa."

And no one thought to ask him "What other countries?"

Assuming the guy isn't just talking I can see only two "other countries" getting involved in Iraq or Afghanistan or the WoT in general

A) Russia

or

B) a Coalition of Arab and/or Muslim countries

And this is scary

Because I can't figure out how it will work out
Not what price they will demand for "helping" and not what shape their help would actually be and not how the people would react to it
