I have heard Jewish people rubbishing Chrisitians and thats ok thats allowed. What bullshit. Read this.

Of course in all "factions of life", in all ethnic groups, there is good and bad and mixed up and everything in between. There are Jews, for example, who are racist and Jews who hate Christians. I have heard all sorts of people (occassionally, but less frequently, Jews) "rubbishing Christians".
Rubbishing Christians, though, is not the same as saying something racist. Racism is, to me, unacceptable, whoever gives it voice.
The website you point us to is a racist website. There is a form of racism - which says that Jews (or "Zionists") control the world - that seems to appeal to people who like to think they are anti-racist, but it is racist nonetheless.
There are people who like to hide this racism behind a defence of free speech, and claim that you can't attack Israel (or "raise their concerns") these days without being called antisemitic. However, if you can give me one single example of someone making a non-racist criticism of Israel being called antisemitic by someone non-marginal, by someone who represents the mainstream of Jewish society.
Incidentally, the Harold Wallace Rosenthal "interview" you pass on - published by a Nazi group after Rosenthal's death at the hands of the PLO, the tape of which has never been released - is an obvious hoax. A brief glance at the language (e.g. "It is Zionist-Communist policy from beginning to end. Yet the citizens think this Jewish policy will benefit America.") would be enough for any sane person to know it is a fake, more amauterish than the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Anon starts by making a universally acknowledged truth, but then undoes his own statement by claiming and providing "proof" that Jews are actually all bad.
I hope, Bob, you are not giving this person the benefit of any doubt. Obviously, he/she thinks that antisemitism can pass for a legitimate criticism of Israel and nobody will notice.
Here is a rationale for how this person's worldview, exemplified in the link he offers, works out:

Who was saying racist things?
The Contentious Centrist
Your an idiot. I never said that ALL Jews are actually bad why do you think I started my comment by saying that there is good and bad in all factions of life in all races all religions. So stop shit stirring. There are even Jews that know there is a faction of Jews causing a lot of trouble for the world and they are really satanists. Go to this link below they are true Jewish. They care about all people.

The link from Anon's second post, by the way, is to the Neturei Karta, anti-Zionist ultra-Orthodox Jews. As well as hanging out with Hamas and giving ideological cover to Jew-haters ("see, some of my best friends are Jews"), these folks stone people in Jerusalem for driving on the Sabbath. I once thought they were cool. A link from someone who also links to that crypto-Nazi blog is the final nail in my regard for them.
I've met similar folks here not too long ago.

Had a look at the "Just another inside job" blog and it was just as I suspected, loads of conspiracy mongering antisemitism.
"In September 2005, Barenboim refused to be interviewed by uniformed Israel Army Radio reporter Dafna Arad, considering the wearing of the uniform insensitive to the Palestinians present. Then Israeli Minister of Education, Limor Livnat (Likud), was quoted as describing Barenboim as "a real Jew hater" and "a real anti-semite"."
This is only the most egregious of such slurs.
