Actually Martin Luther was very much a defender of the Jews against persecution for most of his life. Anyone doubting it can merely read his tract from 1523; the link is below. you may have been mislead by some of the writings from late in Luther's life, which all acknowledge take the opposite tack from his earlier stances. Luther may not have been lucid when he wrote them.Martin Luther wasn't to fond of Jews either.

MARTIN LUTHER, "That Jesus Christ Was Born a Jew" (1523) - excerpts
To save me the trouble of re-writing what I've already written, let me just quote what I wrote in my first post.Well, he did write a book called On The Jews and Their Lies.
The book that you're referring to, written at the end of Luther's life, demonstrates attitudes completely different from the stance that he took towards the Jews throughout his life, and even his wife Katherine and his best friend Philip Melanchthon, were perplexed by why he'd write such a thing. The best explanation is that Luther was, at the time, in extreme pain and not thinking clearly, hence On the Jews and their Lies is not representative of what he actually thought about Jews. For Luther's enemies to bring it up ad nausuem while ignoring the facts is a tactic which suggest desperation.AlexBP said:you may have been mislead by some of the writings from late in Luther's life, which all acknowledge take the opposite tack from his earlier stances.

Really? I always thought Luther's anti semitism was a response to his failure to convert many Jews to Christianity through his earlier writings, which tried to convince Jews of the truth of Christianity.
For years the white supremest have used the quote (supposedly from Lincoln) "emancipation followed by immediate deportation" It has been verified this was his plan. It has become apparent that Boothe had Jewish ancestry so this makes perfect sense. If Boothe is in fact Jewish they need to make him a hero and what would be more heroic than killing a racist who was going to remove all the blacks from the country? Boothe saved the Blacks from even further persecution. They always find magic documents when they need them. The Simon Wisenthal center printing presses have been working non stop for years to provide the much needed documents to write history as they need. You can find the article on Yahoo.
