| A samll primer for the "anti-Zionists" about to chime in: It`s anti-Semitism when the fact a person is Jewish has nothing to do with the story or the issue or the argument but it is brought out (as in this case) in order to make oblique references to wealth; or to long noses or whatever Jew-baiters love to do. It`s not anti-Semitism when you go after a Jew for being a criminal or dishonest or an idiot. And yes, Arabs are semitic people as well but anti-Semitism was chosen by the western world as the description for anti-Jewish attitudes and behaviors usually tied to, minimally, the creation of fear and maximally, the wish to remove Jews from this Earth. Sine`s words were perhaps satiric, in the sense of the different rules that seem to exist for the privileged. Young Sarklozy is NOT privileged because he may convert to Judaism, or because his fiancee is Jewish or because one of his great-grandfathers was. Mr Sine knew EXACTLY what he was doing and now he`ll have to do it elsewhere |
