Jewish tradition recognizes the category of "righteous gentiles"–that is, a person who are not Jewish but who nevertheless are doing good in the world.
Allow me to introduce you to a group of righteous non-gentiles. That is, they are Jewish and, while they do not share the Christian faith, they are definitely out to do good in the world.
The group is JAACD: Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation.
EXCERPTS:
"Members span the spectrum from Orthodox to secular, but are united in their determination to support our beleaguered brothers and sisters in the Christian community," a statement from the organization said.
"What I consider an epidemic of anti-Christian bigotry and persecution is something that has concerned me for a long time," Feder told WND.
Feder says about a year ago he decided there should be a distinctly Jewish organization dealing with anti-Christian prejudice, which he considers a "political pogrom."
"If a Jewish organization complains about these things," he explained, "no one can accuse us of self-interest, because we’re not Christians; we’re Jews."
Added Feder: "The fate of America hinges on whether or not Christians – I mean authentic Christians – succeed in the political arena."
Others involved with the group include: David Horowitz (Center for the Study of Popular Culture), Morton Klein (Zionist Organization of America), Herb London (Hudson Institute), Bruce Herschensohn (professor, Pepperdine University), Rabbi Daniel Lapin (Toward Tradition), syndicated talk-show host Michael Medved, Rabbi Jacob Neusner (professor, Bard College) and comedian Jackie Mason.
Feder also makes a great point:
The organization’s founder ridiculed the notion that religious Americans want the nation ruled by a theocracy.
"It’s just absurd," Feder said. "If what the left is talking about constitutes a theocracy, then America was a theocracy in 1961.
"American had school prayer, in many states there was Bible reading in the schools, public display of religious symbols, abortion was outlawed except in rare instances, if anyone talked about same-sex marriage they would have been met with derisive laughter," he noted. "I was alive in 1961; if we were a theocracy then, somehow I missed it."
