260. Not all Jews, but a significant subset. In particular those who would...
...prefer not to be ruled by the law of the land, but be subject only to Talmudic Law where ever they are.

There are Muslims who want Shaira Law for their own. Often as a precursor to attempting to force it upon others.

There are Christians who wish likewise, right down to the stuffing of Biblical Law down the throats of others.


The one major difference is that the more orthodox and isolationist of Jews strongly cleave to the meme that they are "GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE" no other applicants need apply.

Pointing out their own explicitly expressed separatism IS NOT ANTI-SEMITISM.

An official statement to press vis-a-vis the recent expansion of Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem. As best I can recall the exact quote was: "We are god's chosem people. WE DO NOT CARE what the rest of the world thinks."
