[Avodah] irrational anti-Semites?

From: Daniel Eidensohn <yadmoshe at 012.net.il>
>>.....both  the Jews and the Hyksos 
were alien forces whose increasing numbers and  influence were a threat 
from within the Egyptian society. At the same time  there were Hyksos and 
their allies who lived outside of Egypt. Therefore  there was a second 
danger if they would overcome the control the Egyptians  had over them 
and escape to join the outside enemy. Thus there is nothing  irrational 
about the fear. There was an internal threat in numbers and an  external 
threat which their escape would exacerbate. There is also no need  for 
psycho-historical analysis.<<




>>>>>
very good answer, makes sense
 
although it seems to me that what you have written /is/ "psycho-historical  
analysis"!
