Also from the article: "McMafia uses gratuitous slurs against Israeli businessmen and makes references to Israel which aren't mentioned in the original book."

So here we have government-related media slandering the Jews. My memory isn't as good as it used to be. But I seem to recall this sort of thing happening in Europe before.

I'm 100% Irish going back hundreds and hundreds of generations.I can guarantee that not all,or even most,Irishmen are drunks...but a noticeable percentage are.

Also.I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood and had a career at a world famous hospital.As a result I have long exposure to Jews and have a pretty good understanding of them (American Jews at least).I know that not all,or even most,Jews are greedy or scheming...but a noticeable percentage are.

Also,in the 30s...40s..and even into the 50s American Jews played a noteworthy role in the Mafia.IIRC,Murder Incorporated was largely,if not entirely,Jewish.
