I think all that needs to be said is that there are good and bad people of each religion. Whether you're looking at Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or whatever else people, there are going to be racist individuals (who will judge, hate, and feel superior to others because of their faith), and there will be normal people who keep their faith as a personal thing and are very accepting of others and their beliefs. Personally, I stay away from religion and consider myself to have no faith just because of the problems it causes around the world.
The old newspaper cutout posted above might be real, but the fact is there are similar ads for every religion. I guarantee you you will find similar ads against inter-faith marriage written by extremist Christians and or any other religion if you look for them. The article doesn't portray the typical Jew either; I know many Jewish people who have married Christians (or Muslims for that matter) and there is no talk of being the chosen people, polluting the genepool, etc... Propaganda is propaganda no matter which way you put it. That is not to say that there aren't Jews (or others) who think they are better than others, but make your assumptions on real life experiences (not TV, the internet, etc...), and if you're going to talk about the religion as a whole, don't start your assumptions based on the religious extremists (Hassids) or the rich minority who might stir shit up for the media to have a field day with.
