What does this mean -- Jewish is a recent twist to the word Jew it came into being after world war 2 by the Jews in hopes of adding some kind of decency to an otherwise indecent people?
Your question refers to Anti-Semitic text found on an online forum. The phrasing of the statement shows its blatant discrimination.The word "Jewish" is the adjectival form of the noun "Jew" in the English language. This is not a result of World War II, or as the statement seems to allege or to cover up some form of indecency (of which the Jews have none in any greater amount that any other people). For example, the word Jewish appears in the Merchant of Venice, written by Shakespeare in the 16th century in such lines as: "And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine," or "His Jewish heart: therefore, I do beseech you,".
