		If it were true that anti-Semitism was central to Christian thought, then letting my children be raised as Christians-for it was not something I would have chosen by myself-would imply that I've enabled them to embrace a doctrine that is inimical to Jews and Judaism.

	eXile - Issue #196 - Wreck the Wreckers! - By Jake Rudnitsky
		MOSCOW (Independent Exile) â¬" In recent months of the all-Russia fight against corruption it has become undeniable that many leading technocrats are guilty of not unmasking sufficient numbers of Enemies of the People, allowing erstwhile â¬Sbusinessmenâ¬ to prosper as they cheat the Russian State and People out of their rightfully earned tax revenues.
		In other words, the question is, can it be claimed that in recent history there have been no indicators that would tip off members of the government that various businessmen have been transferring imponderable sums of money into offshore bank accounts with the express intention of defrauding Russia and her People?
		No anti-Russian rootless cosmopolitan or his collaborators is exempt!
