I would like to thank Dr. Louis de Rosis for his encouragement. His own interest in the subject will surely cast much light. Many thanks to Dr. Marvin Weitz for support and constant reminders of the importance of this investigation. I would like to thank Dr. Robert Schuller, a great Christian, for his kind words and concern with this most difficult problem. AUTHOR’S NOTE I t is of utmost importance to note that this book is in no way a criticism of Christianity. Indeed, it is not possible for a Christian to be an anti-Semite or an anti- Semite to be a Christian. Bigotry, including anti-Semitism, and Christianity are antithetical. The disease called anti-Semitism destroys Christian principles and values as it promotes chronic hatred and inhumanity. Unfortunately, stereotyping, bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, and ethnic murder continue virtually unabated. The projection of self-hate is easy, especially so by highly suggestible people. Ruthless, manipulative psychopaths know that hate, in its sick way, binds people in efforts to destroy perceived enemies. Using this psychological dynamic is commonplace for power-hungry fearmongers. Killing the “parent religion” is insanely and unconsciously believed to be a self-freeing “process.” Hating Jews is very much in evidence now as ever, and is a major player in this contagious, malignant disease. However, there is little research dedicated to insight or remediation as regards this dangerous malady. Even following the Holocaust, the disease is ever present. This book is about Jew hatred, but much of it applies to irrational hatred of any group. Perhaps shedding some light on the possible dynamics of this illness will awaken interest in the problem as well as motivation to understand and eradicate it. Theodore Isaac Rubin New York City, 2008
