A good read, as usual from Steyn, but I think he really misses the fact that there is real, true, and deep-seated anti-Semitism among the European elites. As I have said before, Israel is an affront to these elites because Jews who fight do not fit their stereotype of Jews as sheep who willingly shuffle off to the slaughter and thereby prove their inferiority as a people. If Israel is successful and shows that Jews can fight and win wars as well as establish a prosperous and progressive nation, this shatters the European fiction that Jews are only good for money-changing and tailoring and stand-up comedy. It also makes Europe guilty for allowing the Holocaust to happen. Demonizing Israel, by romanticizing the Palestinians and excoriating Isreal's treatment of them no matter what they do to Israel, is just another way for the Europeans to continue their delusions that the Jews are an inferior race and therefore deserve their eventual destruction.

What a piece of insulting tripe! Ridiculous generalisations such as Europeans being convinced Jews are an inferior race should have no place on this site. It is, in fact, racist to say that. Where do you get this nonsense from? Surely your own brain cannot have thought of it all by itself.
