Loony Jews

I was shopping for bagels and smoked salmon at the deli this morning so picked a copy of this week's Jewish News. There is a letter from Dr. Levi Sokolic, a complete meshuggener if there ever was one, so I've replied as follows:

Dear Sir,

It seems that we have our very own Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sound-alike, in the form of the bigoted Dr Levi Sokolic of Golders Green (letters 17th April). Not content only to separate Jew from Gentile he seeks to divide Jew from Jew, with his contempt for those he sees as deriving their “values, morality and worldview from the delusional viciousness and moral and intellectual degeneracy of the progressive left.”

If you want delusional viciousness, there’s plenty of that in the Torah, the rest of the Old and New Testaments and the Qur’an. Therefore any decent human being in the modern world, whatever his core beliefs, will study these texts critically.

Dr Sokolic should remember that the majority Zionists who created the State of Israel were practical, leftist and predominately secular Jews who got on with things and did not cling on to ancient superstitions.

Minik.
