People who do not believe it is a work of fiction. Are atheists usually this deliberately obtuse?

Clearly, the conservative jews do not think it is fiction
why else bother to tear it up ?

Fiction or not, so many Jews were killed in its name that it is taken very seriously. But I think it is highly unfair to speak of "the conservative jews" in this context as though one extremist were representative of a large mainstream group.

you should know better by now
Play the victim if you want, but this is not the way to get pity

No pity wanted. Especially from someone who is more prepared to attack Jews than to read a simple statement of fact.

I think there is a miscommunication. The earlier pp was using the term "conservative" but probably did not mean the actual conservative branch of Judaism.

He is a member of the National Union Party. Is that enough of an answer?
