I never understood why this sign, which marked the gate of the lowest depredation of humanity, should become a "holy relic".Y.

How easy it is to find a scapegoat and the Jew is the perfect one - often successful and sometimes, though rarely, with the traits of a Mr. Madoff. The far Right will always find it convenient to make these traits applicable to all Jews. More frightening is that the far Left is espousing them too, using Israel as an excuse for anti-Semitic outpourings.Leilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-29095554262600114162009-12-25T10:51:41.845-05:002009-12-25T10:51:41.845-05:00An excellent post Jeremy.
