“Why are they the focus of so much vitriol?”
We rejected Jesus, Mohammed, Communism and stabbed the German People in the back. We also keep to ourselves, and thrive no matter what obstacles they throw at us. For some, some or all of that really pisses them off.
I am Catholic. We have our own groups who don’t like us much out there.
Mohammed can go @#$@#$ himself :)
Communism sucks.
The Germans stabbed YOU in the back, as many Jewish Germans fought in WWI on Germany’s side.
My Italian neighborhood keeps to itself. So what. Who isn’t more comfortable around a culture the’re at home with?
And success in America isn’t a zero sum game.
Jews can be really rally successful, an so can everyone else.
It’s not like there is a limited amount of success to suck up, lol.
Jews are relatively safe in America and Israel, except for Crown Heights now that deblasio is in charge again. Where’s Rudy!!
As for W. Europe. They might not be that safe, but it’s their right to decide to stay and fight for their right to be there, or come to Israel or the USA.
No one should be forced to move out of fear.
