Nothing like a little example to make my point:
"Nothing would have seemed more worthless to my grandfather
Hakam (Rabbi) Hassan than a modern liberal arts
**goyish** type education."
This quote is from Mr Martillo and is rather mild for him
( and definitely taken out of context - see Art # 458 for
the full text).
Would YOU want a "goyish" education ?
Doesn't sound like something good and uplifting does it ?
My point made from Art #459 is the pejorative use of this
terminology (Goy, Goyim, Goyish, whatever...).
How can Jews (as a group) expect to get better'n they give ?
P.S. - I'm an elementary student in Spanish and recently learned
that "el martillo" means "the hammer" in English. Somehow, I
think I already knew that.
