A fine-looking Ripper message board, with an interesting discussion. Perchance the Proprietor should attempt to cross-pollinate.....;)

Tim:

This is a better account of the claims of Jewish ritual murder ( the theory that its most ardent supporter,Arnold Leese,a Brit,would disagree with,I'm sure...but nonetheless its false. )

It could be possible that a Jew committed a murder in a ritualistic fashion ( for example,a shochet...or even a crazy Orthodox Jew fed up with the shiksa kurvas in his neighborhood....). There's no doubt about that.

But to claim that a Jew did this for the reasons the boys at Stormfront posit is false.

Someone who would commit an act of ritual murder,a blood libel act by a nefarious Jew, according to the promoters of this vile idea themselves, would most definitely not use blood from prostitutes and above all,commit them on the street.

Yeah, Howard, I agree that that stormfront site is a bubble or two off-center, but it IS interesting to read, just as I had said. And the message board itself looks good. Just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover.

I believe the stormfront bunch are neo-Nazis, so their take on Jews being responsible for the Whitechapel Murders is colored appropriately. Certainly, there are more sensible and probable Jewish theories around.

I am a sustaining member at Stormfront. You may be surprised to find a lot of dissent even over people using nazi avatars, let alone politics.
Don't believe all the rumours you hear. :D
