Which is something a bigot doesn't care about, so that checks out.

        Two comments within two pages that refer to spanking a women. Hmmm. You do seem to like making allusions to administering corporal punishment. Is there something you would like to share with us all?

          Not in the way we understand that term today. The Jews were one of various groups that, on occasion, suffered social opprobrium and sometimes violence. They were not deliberately singled out.

          Nor was anti-Judaism institutionalised across societies in the Graeco-Roman world as it was by Christian societies.

          So far not one of you has managed to produce an iota of evidence in support of your contentions.

          Indeed when pressed to name the "actual historians" whom he alleged supported his own opinion Gondwanaland declined to respond.

          A less charitable individual than myself might regard his refusal as a desperate attempt to save face because he knew he couldn't produce the names of any such historians.

            No, I like making allusions to how soundly your nonsense has been defeated. But it appears that turns you on.

              Anti-semitism existing doesn't require them to be 'singled out'. By that idiotic logic, even Nazi Germany was not anti-semitic because they exterminated homosexuals like yourself, Romani people, Jehova's Witnesses, mentally disabled people, blacks, and more, alongside the Jews, and therefore did not 'single out' Jews.

              I'm unsure why you seem to believe that for anti-semitism to exist Jews somehow have to be the only people being discriminated against or oppressed and if some other group is, magically it is not anti-semitism.

              Yes, I declined to leap through hoops set forth by a pretend historian who has already had her nonsense debunked, who doesn't know what a Hellenistic Scholar is.

                  It's interesting that you seem to consider I might get pleasure from your references to being physically abused. Isn't that often presented as the stereotypical plea of the abuser/rapist "She wanted it"?

                  However, I would note that your remarks about inflicting corporal punishment on others extend beyond your various comments about it to me. You have also referred to other contributors getting "spanked" in your replies to correspondents:.

                    Why have you suddenly leapt from the Graeco-Roman world to Nazi Germany? It is your allegations about the Graeco-Roman world that I am refuting [and I have provided comments from other academics who hold the same view as myself].

                    It was not anti-Semitism in the modern understanding of the term, despite your repeated assertions to the contrary.

                    Your ridiculously peevish posturing is hilarious.

                    You seem to be labouring under the arrogant delusion that because you have claimed [without an iota of evidence] that something is a "fact" everyone else must accept it to be a fact

                    You have been asked to provide citations from those "actual historians" whom you allege share your opinion that anti-Semitism. as we now understand that term, was to be found within societies throughout the Graeco-Roman world and you have declined to do so.

                    The simple fact is that no such accredited historian would ever make such a claim. However, you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge that you have made foolish remarks.

                      You have been asked to provide citations from those "actual historians" whom you allege share your opinion that anti-Semitism. as we now understand that term, was to be found within societies throughout the Graeco-Roman world and you have declined to do so.

                      The original argument never said "as we now understand that term."
                      However, it seems unlikely that even the "as we now understand that term" is accurate in any case.
                      Philip Schafer. Judeophobia (1998), 15
                      “ … the Egyptian and Greco-Roman tradition of the Exodus: the Jews were driven out of Egypt by force in a kind of “ethnic cleansing” because they were polluted lepers and/or unwelcome foreigners; it was after this explustion that they founded Jerusalem and became Jews in the full sense of the word.
                      This early example of counter-history proved to be one the most powerful anti-Jewish statements, not only in ancient history but until modern times. The legend can be traced back to the early third century BCE and reached its literary climax in the “grand synthesis” of anti-Jewish traditions written by Tacitus.”


                      Chapter Title: Tacitus and the Defamation of the Jews
                      Book Title: The Construct of Identity in Hellenistic Judaism
                      Book Subtitle: Essays on Early Jewish Literature and History

                      Among other remarks, Tacitus brands the Jews
                      as a race of men hated by the gods.³ They regard as profane everything that we
                      (Romans) hold as sacredand vice versa.Their practices are base and wicked,
                      and prevail through their own depravity.They are a people most especially inclined
                      to lust. Although they wont sleep with gentiles, among themselves there
                      is nothing they wont do (nihil inlicitum). Those who cross over to their ways
                      scorn the gods, abandon their own nation, and hold their parents, siblings,
                      and children cheap.Jewish rites are sordid and ridiculous.Jews throughout
                      their history were the most despised of subject peoples and the basest of
                      nations.


                      There doesn't seem to a whole lot of support for your contention; "as we now understand that term." Tacitus' comments are however reflected in the church attitudes that you reported.
                      1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

                        You seem to have a preoccupation with spanking as some sort of sexual thing. This isn't the first time you have tried to make this connection and its always with such... enthusiasm.

                            You might ask Gondwanaland to desist from referring to spanking people. Although I suspect you won't.
