Jews and the World

[Yurchyk]

Why is it that the whole world has a problem with the jews but America is their best friend?....... America gets badly criticized for this, dont they just see that something's wrong?............. How can a strong and powerful nation let such a little population put one over on them?.........

We have to be careful here: The whole world doesn't have a problem with the Jews. There is no "problem" with them in the east or west, except some residual anti-semitism driven by beliefs fed by the discredited Elders of Zion fabrication. But America's support for the nation of Israel seems to include tolerance of atrocities and bad faith, such as illegal dislocations and settlements. Aside from this regional dispute, badly handled by all sides over a long period of time, Jews don't stand out among assimilated populations. Those of certain conservative traditions are visible, but not problematic. There is no cause for anti-Semitic assertions like this.

The National Socialists falsely claimed that there was a World Jewish Conspiracy, and pumped out this propaganda in the 20s and 30s to create a reason to persecute the jews of Europe. Having suffered so much at their hands, they in turn in modern times now persecute their neighbours in the middle east by robbing the arabs of their lands and property
with the connivince of the united states.

Pretty succinctly put, John. The US owns the rights to demand better behaviour out of them, and won't.

There is a joke:

A German ask an Englishman,
Why is there no anti-Semetism in your country ?
The Englishman replies, "Because we don't think we're dumber than the Jews..."
