Theos-Talk Archives (May 2000 Message tt00202)

There is a difference between 1.  esoteric cultural criticism, 2. anti-Jew
remarks and 3. anti-semitism.  Only the latter is pathological.  There are
anti-US, anti-French, anti-Arab, anti-FBI, anti-this, anti-that, skilled and
learned or vague and emotional but this is not pathological and is part of
feedback and the necessary freedom of speech.

Again I see nothin anti-Jew or anti-Semitic in any of Alice Bailey comments.
Let's define our terms and start fresh.

And six million Jews were murdered.  Seven million Gypsies, communists,
christrians, homosexuals and intellectuals, and other Germans who stood in
Hitler's way were murdered.  And the Chinese were slaughtered by the
millions during that time.  There is a context here that absolutely must be
remembered.
