CMV:The relative progressiveness and acceptance that most diasporic Judaism supports is the result of historical marginalization, not fundamental differences from other Abrahamic religions.

I write this as a Jew, a fairly observant one. I love that Judaism, particularly diaspora Judaism, supports acceptance and tolerance. However, I believe that these good qualities are the result of historic marginalization, not fundamental differences in doctrine compared to other Abrahamic religions.

While it is absolutely true that Jewish religious texts support charity and kindness, so do the texts of Christianity and Islam. It can also be seen that in the instances where a Jewish kingdom or majority society has been established, these principals of kindness are often ignored. This can be seen as far back as the Hasmonean Dynasty(founded by the Maccabees). The Maccabees did not rebel to create religious freedom. They rebeled to impose Judaism on those in the kingdom. You see similar trends in many states that are dominated by Christians and Muslims. That is to say, in nations with a heavy majority of any Abrahamic religion, features of religious doctrines that call for charity and acceptance are often ignored.

Rather, I propose that the acceptance that much of mainstream diasporic Judaism promotes is the result of historic marginalization and discrimination suffered until the mid twentieth century.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by “acceptance and tolerance?” Do you have any evidence that Jews are actually more accepting than Christians? It sounds like you might be comparing progressive Jews with average or conservative Christians.
