ANYTIME the world goes after the Jews (read Evangelicals, too) the world goes closer to self destruction.

The exact point Walker Percy made in his last novel, "The Thanatos Syndrome." Percy also made the point that it was just unlucky to persecute Jews. Look at what happened to the Nazis. Jews are God's chosen people (but as Teviav (sp?) said, "why can't You choose someone else occasionally?")

But that's just Jewish humor ala Rodney Dangerfield (and to a more morbid sense, Lenny Bruce).

Delighted to see your good comments about Walker Percy. He's great.

Per the chosen people: some wag once penned this bit of doggerel:

How odd
Of God
To choose
The Jews

Presently an even more economical bit of doggerel replied

Goyim
Annoy 'im
