I simply wish to know the truth - the whole truth. If this is something that is done with everyone, without regard to their religion or national origin, then it is probably a good thing. If, OTOH, Jews are being singled out, then it is wrong. I simply want to know the facts, then I'll judge. As to "dreaded persecution of poor Jews," you might wish to review your history a bit, particularly European history during the Crusades, during the Black Death, during the Inquisition and in the 1933-1945 period. It might also be good for you to look into why Israel is the only country on Earth barred from membership in the UN Security Council, and why the Israeli version of the Red Cross (Magen David Adom) was only just (within the last 2 weeks) allowed to have its own symbol (which the Arabs and Iranians have had for decades). Sorry, but sometimes people that feel persecuted ARE, in fact, persecuted.

Again, I'm simply looking for facts. Others on this thread have, thankfully, provided some.

Frankly, I don't know why anyone would associate American Jews with the Israelis. They may have the same religion and ancestry but that's about it.

Jason Pollard, American Jew/Israeli spy is a pretty good example of the kind of person who would sell out this country for his own agenda. If you look at the American Jews from Abby Hoffman to Medea Benjamin, you will notice that most are America hating Liberal nutcases. The ACLU is top heavy with this sort of crusading Jewish Leftist. Hollywood is a prime example, but not useful in this argument since it is hard to discern true motives when it comes to the celebrity culture. A check of any prominent "social awareness" cause will usually have American Jews at the helm. I can think of two good old time Democrats and straight shooters who married Jewish Leftist women and are now virtually amputated from their former selves. Jimmy Breslin and Joe Calafano. They are now just irrelevant.

The most disturbing part of American Jewish Leftist Liberalism is it's astonishing hatred of Israel. There is a U.S. Jewish faction of the anti-war movement that regularly demonstrates wearing pro-Pali apparel and carrying signs supporting the right of return. These people best embody the fundamental wrong thinking of so many American Jewish Liberals.

Then there are the 9/11 Jews. The best example there is Alan Dershowitz. He's every bit as rabid about social causes but he got the Islam message loud and clear on 9/11.
Non-Jewish converts to the real message of Islam are what I call the Cartoon Liberals. After the worldwide psychosis over the Danish cartoons, many Liberal happyheads, particularly in my circle, were truly appalled. Funny how the world turns on such small things, but then again, it is often said that the Devil is in the details. Two of my Hillary-worshipping friends are now very uncomfortable around any "appeasement of the Muslims" talk. Basically, they are now afraid. Good. They should be. Everybody should be afraid of the Muslims. First fear then anger then resolve. That's the way back onto the right road in this War on Terror.
