Movie Film Borat and International Jewish Conspiracy


"There was big controversy in my country over amount of anti-semitism in my moviefilm but the censor say there was just enough."

Of course the actor who plays Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen, is Jewish so the whole Anti-Semitism schtick is kind of insane. But whatever. Maybe it's timely since like an old hemrrhoid Anti-Semitism is raging again. The problem with Anti-Semitism and Anti-Catholicism/Anti-Clericalism for that matter is that it blocks out all rational thought. Only the obsession of hate matters. Cada loco con su tema- Every mad man has his own theme. Of interest here is a parody website International Jewish Conspiracy:http://www.internationaljewishconspiracy.com, since as they tell me the International Catholic Conspiracy has failed.

Now back to Borat. Ironcially, Kazakhstan is pretty close to Khazaria, a Medieval Jewish Kingdom that lasted until about the 11th century. Somewhere along the line the kings converted to Judaism and that became the official religion. Yehuda-Ha-Levi the Sephardic poet and scholar wrote a treatise Al-Kuzari in which he has a dispute about the Truth of Judaism in the mouth of a Khazari Rabbi. As it turns out there is a legend that the Khazaris were approached by both Muslims and Christians each asking them to convert to their religion. When asked about the Books of Moses both affirmed that they were inspired so the King decided to adopt Judaism, since all things being equal both the Muslims and the Christians claimed the Jewish religion had authority at least at one time or another.
