The percentage of the world`s Jews responsible for the evil on the West Bank and in Gaza is very small.

It is a minority even amongst Israelis.

Yet it is exactly those who are not guilty, who have done nothing evil or vile, who pay the penalty simply because they are Jews.

I was accused once, by an anti-Semite, of being a "New York Jew."

Well I was from New York - upstate - but I was not a Jew.

But I have never felt prouder in my life.

I feel very bad that European Jews are once again being subjected to undeserved hatred.

I also feel very bad that a small minority of Jews are being allowed to smear all with their hatred and arrogance which mirrors that of the anti-Semites.

There is a linkage.

There are people in any population who are so feeble, so weak, so insubstantial that they must have a weaker subject to feel superior to.

Settler or Islamic Jihad, they are pathetic.
