I'm just saying that the level of negative sentiment against the Jews in general (up to and including Anti-Semitism) seems higher in the ex-member community than in other groups that I've observed, except those that have a central focus on that kind of thing.
I think it is okay to have negative opinions about any group, including the Jews. When Coordinating over at NDN, I've allowed anti-Jewish threads to go on (and on) as long as they didn't cross over into inciting violence. It is a conversation that some ex-members want to have, and my opinion has always be to go ahead and get it all out in the open. But, I'm still surprised by it on a personal level.
In observing some ex-members, I've come to the opinion that they felt that Berg was wrong about everything except the Jews. I'm pretty sure ex-members didn't form these views on a grand scale from watching TV and Movies in the US... we all know who controls the US media (;
