What a term that is, too! Would we call a non-practicing Catholic a "self-hating Catholic"? Do we call the late Christopher Hitchens a self-hating Jew because he ignored his Jewish ancestry and was outspoken as an anti-Zionist? Am I a "self-hating" Jew because I don't practice Judaism, nor do I have many Jewish friends, and also I have many complaints about my Jewish family--who doesn't speak ill of family once in awhile? Or am I missing some piece of writing that is irrefutable proof that he was a "self-hating Jew?" It's certainly not evident in his own autobiography. ["The Journey Not The Arrival Matters - An Autobiography of The Years 1939-1969"] I'm confused…<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Laurie</div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 19, 2012, at 11:19 AM, Shawn Maeder wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">"Who of us can honestly say we’ve come across a Jewish person with equally
