Why is never Judaism attacked

[TheReal_ND]

Serious question. I've grown up as a catholic baptized on the insistence of my quarter wagon burning grandma. I'm used to Christianity being attacked. Why is not EVER Judaism?

I believe Judaism has done an outstanding job communicating the message to the world that the Jews are the MOST persecuted people in history and they are strictly hands off of criticism. The only criticism allowed seems to be in comedy.

They do in fact, have a long history of persecution. I don't have a problem with them getting a little rest.

Saying Judaism is never attacked is like saying there's never starvation in Africa--pick a century.

Yes, Jews and Israel are physically attacked all the time. I think he's asking why it's not fair game to mock Jews in the West

I could share a 1.5 liter bottle of Bourbon with an actual friend and exchange Jewish jokes until we both passed out at the table, then wake in the morning remembering more over the dregs.

Because like the Asian culture they value family and education. They are successful. It's honestly that simple. Fuck the Middle East. Jews are great.

Now you're talking my language, let's go.

That is a silly question.

Jeremiad is almost always a pejorative... a mockery of Judaism. Even when people mock Christianity by pointing out the moral confusion in stories like Job or Abraham and Issac, guess what... mocking Judaism.

I have also read numerous critiques of traditional circumcision practices.

Judaism, as a set of silly fairy tails believed by nomads who knew basically nothing about the world, is attacked all the time.

I assume you mean that the religion of the Jews see little criticism relative to Islam and Christianity. We all know that Jews can safely expect to be attacked on account of being Jews annywhere on Earth at any time in history.

The main reason is that Judaism isn't a missionary religion. They will not try to convert anybody. You are a Jew if your mother was a Jew. That's basically it. (I know you can convert if you want but it's not a simple process.) So nobody feels threatened by Judaism since there is no need to push back against attempts to convert people.

Well what I mean is like what CM said, that in western society they are immune to criticism (though the rumor is, it's slightly less taboo in some parts of Europe.) We treat them as almost magical people in some sense, even though historically they have been kicked out of 109 countries this last time was so evil that we are supposed to bend over backwards for them. Why are we not allowed to be openly critical of them without being labeled an anti-semite? It's like touching a third rail.
