"The US should be creating a council which does not include Jew-Haters or those who no longer hate Jews. "

I agree with that.

We told them what to think and to stop supporting policies against Jews, Gepsies, Gays etc.

We told the Nazi's to stop discriminating against the Gays? I don't think so! I would be surprised if we did, because back then we knew being Gay was wrong. Practically every US state prohibited it.

I agree with the comment that we should use our power to make sure that Jews are not discriminated against. But I don't think that has to translate to foreign policy for construction contracts, at this time.

I think we should be using the our position of authority to preach to them against hating. Show them that the same hatred and lack of respect for life that seeds hatred of the Jews leads also seeds hatred within the country and leads to internal massacres against each other like those that the baathists did.

"The US is there and is drawing terrorist fire as well. Does it mean it plans on backing away because of it? The US has said it stick to principle and not capitulate in front of terror or else more terror will be inevitable and the terrorists will see they are winning. So why capitulate in front of their society norms of hating Jews?"

No, the US won't back away, but it wouldn't be very chivralous of us to let a bigger target go in. At least not right now.

I just think contruction contracts at this time are the wrong way to go about it. It will play into all the lies that the Jew haters have said about Jews controlling the US. I think we need to address the hatred in other ways first.

You're right. Jews won't be allowed to participate. Mark up a win for the Jew haters.

We told the Nazi's to stop discriminating against the Gays? I don't think so!

"Unlike the Nuremberg laws that deprived German Jews of their civil rights,
the victorious Allies never nullified Paragraph 175--the Nazi law
against homosexuals. ``Gays were subject to arrest under
Paragraph 175, and West German police even used Nazi records to
organize mass arrests of gay men in the 1950s and 60s. In some
cases, gay prisoners were sentenced to longer jail terms because
they had already served time in Nazi prisons.''
