The following book makes an interesting, if highly unpopular, case for Shakespeare having jewish blood and a Jewish sensibility / agenda: http://www.ziplink.net/users/entropy/<br /><br />2. Anthony Julius, the author of the book you reference, has done extremely well out of the UK, both as a highly-paid lawyer and an author with an eye for antisemitism. I doubt you'll find him making Aliyah anytime soon.<br /><br />3. Yaacov, please try not to make big sweeping comments about the UK. There is something childish about looking at the world through a prism of we-win-you-lose, we're-up-you're-down.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062180895899998738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-11262971737672723502010-05-10T13:43:49.667+03:002010-05-10T13:43:49.667+03:00I am always baffled by Shylock as a "witness&...I am always baffled by Shylock as a "witness" for the badness of Jews - I saw the play only once on German TV and what I remember most vividly from it to this day is the "don't we bleed like you ..." - from that I'd guess that it is very much in the hand of the director and the actor how it comes across<br /><br />on the other hand that vexing "Ascent of Money" book by Niall Ferguson harps so insistently on presenting Shylock as the "perfect" loan shark that it makes me shiver - the guy had a TV-series with the same title, so his view is widely spread - he has other "nice" little asides in that style every now and then in the book. (and now he is getting even more publicity because he is romancing with Ayan Hirsi Ali - rrrgh)<br /><br />oh and the other day he gave an interview hypothesizing on what could induce China to put the thumb screws on the US-Dollar:<br />the US allowing Israel to bomb Iran, he said <br />- totally weird at least as a pop first into mind.
