Einstein thought Jews were idiots
ElParedon
Jews were not the chosen people, in a letter to be sold in London this week,
an auctioneer said Tuesday.
The father of relativity, whose previously known views on religion have been
more ambivalent and fuelled much discussion, made the comments in response
to a philosopher in 1954.
As a Jew himself, Einstein said he had a great affinity with Jewish people
but said they "have no different quality for me than all other people".
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of
human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive
legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.
"No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this," he wrote
in the letter written on January 3, 1954 to the philosopher Eric Gutkind,
cited by The Guardian newspaper.
The German-language letter is being sold Thursday by Bloomsbury Auctions in
Mayfair after being in a private collection for more than 50 years, said the
auction house's managing director Rupert Powell.
In it, the renowned scientist, who declined an invitation to become Israel's
second president, rejected the idea that the Jews are God's chosen people.
"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most
childish superstitions," he said.
"And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I
have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other
people."
And he added: "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other
human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack
of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."
Previously the great scientist's comments on religion -- such as "Science
without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" -- have been
the subject of much debate, used notably to back up arguments in favour of
faith.
Powell said the letter being sold this week gave a clear reflection of
Einstein's real thoughts on the subject. "He's fairly unequivocal as to what
he's saying. There's no beating about the bush," he told AFP.

skin disease
By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH (jpost)
Toddler from Zambia in Africa was discharged Sunday from Rambam Medical
Center in Haifa after being treated for three months for a very rare
congenital skin condition: Harlequin Syndrome, which affects only two
Israeli children and involves the absence of important elements in the
upper layer of the skin.
The sufferer has vivid patches on the skin that give the disease its
name, which alludes to patchwork clowns' outfits. Prof. Eli Sprecher, a
world expert in the disease at Rambam's Dermatology Department, was
contacted even though Zambia has no embassy or even a consulate in
Israel.

The Urban Dictionary defines as number 2 a reargunner as
An accessory to the more commonly known "wing man," the rear gunner's
job is to provide even more assistance to the lead and the wing men. The
reargunner's job is to hurl insults and other harmful comments about
the physical traits or mental insecurities of anyone and everyone that
tries to approach either of his buddies. The reargunner is a necessity
for serious pick up situations, a job to be entrusted to a true friend
and serious **** talker.

Federal authorities charged that a methamphetamine laboratory was operating
at the nation's largest kosher slaughterhouse and that employees carried
weapons to work.
The charges were among the most explosive details to emerge following the
massive raid Monday at Agriprocessors in Postville, Iowa.
In a 60-page application for a search warrant, federal agents revealed
details of their six-month probe of Agriprocessors. The investigation
involved 12 federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the departments of labor and
agriculture.
According to the application, a former plant supervisor told investigators
that some 80 percent of the workforce was illegal. They included rabbis
responsible for kosher supervision, who the source believed entered the
United States from Canada without proper immigration documents. The source
did not provide evidence for his suspicion about the rabbis.
The source also claimed to have confronted a human resources manager with
Social Security cards from three employees that had the same number. The
manager laughed when the matter was raised, the source said.
At least 300 people were arrested Monday during the raid, for which federal
authorities had rented an expansive fairground nearby to serve as a
processing center for detainees.
The search warrant application said that 697 plant employees were believed
to have violated federal laws.
Agriprocessors officials did not return calls from JTA seeking comment.
