Nietzsche & The Jews
This topic intrigues me a whole lot. I have found much wisdom in the words of Nietzsche, though I have not really had the opportunity to go in depth in to his writings.
I hope some of you who are more read on him can enlighten my understanding: I gather that Nietzsche railed against Wagner after he became an anti-Semite, and that Nietzsche deplored anti-Semites in general. I did a quick Google search on the matter and I see that there are many Jews and modern academics who use Nietzsche denunciation of anti-Semites to state that Nietzsche was actually philo-Semitic and as such, misappropriated by the National Socialists who derived some influence from him. I have much disbelief in this interpretation because Nietzsche so clearly rails against Jews & the formation of Christianity as a slave revolt against the noble and aristocratic values of the Aryans. My interpretation and opinion is that Nietzsche actually considers the Christian beliefs that the many anti-Semites share (attacking Jews but refusing to acknowledge the Jewish roots of Christianity) and the bitterness/resentment that they tend to have to be more derived from the same 'slave revolt' of Judaism rather than being reflective of the behavior and character of nobility.
