With anti-Semitism reemerging in Europe and rampant in the Islamic
world; with Iran acquiring the ultimate weapon of genocide and
proclaiming its intention to wipe out the world's largest Jewish
community (Israel); with America and, in particular, its Christian
evangelicals the only remaining Gentile constituency anywhere willing
to defend that besieged Jewish outpost -- is the American heartland
really the locus of anti-Semitism? Is this the one place to go to find
it? - Charles Krauthammer - Just an Anti-Semitic Laugh? Hardly. - washingtonpost.com
Krauthammer is here addressing Sacha Baron Cohen's (Borat), claim that he goes around America making anti-Semitic remarks in order to
elicit a nodding anti-Semitic response. And with enough liquor and
cajoling, he succeeds in showing just how anti-Semitic we yokels are.
As I watched Hollywood's high profile Jewish entertainers recently
embrace the likes of Cindy Sheehan, even while she was feted by the
world's leading Hitler idolizers, like Chavez and Ahmadinejad, I
finally figured it out. They are Jews the same way the National
Organization for Women are women. That is, only insofar as they
can use their status to advance leftist causes. It's a
tool. Which reminds me, what the hell happened to Curb Your Enthusiasm?
