Have some of Jewish ancestry in Croatia come to hate Jews? Is that the only way they are accepted (as a way of fitting in), or have they been brainwashed?

I don't know Joan what would prompt Mladen Schwarts to take on such a hateful stance, but apaprently Croatia allows such demonstrations of public intolerance, as it does the sale and display of Nazi/Fascist symbols.
In its attempt to cozy up to the West, Coratia has taken a very active role in promoting good relations with its numerically miniscule, but obviously valuable Jewish community of approximately 2,000 people, out of Croatia's almost 5 million population.
In doing so, many Croatians, with some outside help such as Philip Cohen, are trying to rewrite history, and my fear is that gullable editors of various news services such as the one mentioned in my comment, have bought into such lies.
DTA did a marvelous job of replying to the distortions that even recieved thanks from unsuspecting readers.
