In fact,...Marx was born during the Napoleonic wars. In fact, the French invasion under Napoleon released German Jews from the ghetto and all sorts of other restrictions. In the period of freedom Marx' father became a lawyer. After the reaction, he didn't want to go back to the ghetto and all the restrictions. So he converted and had his son converted too and sent him to a Christian school. So Marx, while of Jewish origin, was not raised as a Jew.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-12796202555873937912011-12-07T20:30:20.157+00:002011-12-07T20:30:20.157+00:00Nice one!Nice one!bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-78811786515343280622011-12-07T10:34:23.989+00:002011-12-07T10:34:23.989+00:00an angry citizen said: everything that happens is ...an angry citizen said: everything that happens is the Jews' fault, even the sinking of the Titanic<br />now wait a minute!!! it was an iceberg.<br />Iceberg, <br />greenberg,all the bergs are Jewish <br /><br />sultanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-49875625428790879882011-12-06T20:20:30.927+00:002011-12-06T20:20:30.927+00:00No, Marx wasn't Jewish.

She was pregnant and was kicked next ot our Synagogue. fortunately the baby was born in Israel!<br />My aunt was on the concil table of her town and when she tied all the population turned out to honour her for what she did and her pomotion of equality between Sephardim and ashkinazim.

One thing they were not was hypocrites. At least they put their feet where their ideology was and didn't emigrate to Israel, contrary to the Amira Hasses and their ilk, the anti-Zionists living working and claiming privileges in Israel while denying its right to exist and denigrating it day in day out. <br /><br />What has characterized the Simon Levy, the Amran Edmond Elmaleh, the Abraham Serfatis, whatever their politics, was that they were fundamentally honest. <br /> <br />Barukh Dayan Emet.sylvianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-68882249013817745812011-12-04T07:40:45.432+00:002011-12-04T07:40:45.432+00:00anonymous,

This is maybe true in Israel - mostly due to the fact that MAPAM/MAPAI failed to give voice to Jews coming from Africa and Middle east - but possibly not in the "francophonie". <br />I know that is almost impossible counting jews vote out of Isarel but according to your personal view what is the main political tendency among Sephardim ?andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666641765041353914noreply@blogger.com
