I think it would be possible to draw a parallell between Atzmon and Nietzsche's argumentation in Little Tich Jun 2016 #48

I'm trying to discuss these ideas, not Atzmon himself. shira Jun 2016 #49

If your accusations were true, then Atzmon's argumentation would of course be anti-Semitic. Little Tich Jun 2016 #50

Accusations? You don't believe Atzmon made those claims? shira Jun 2016 #51
