How about this quiz: how does one tell a Jewish golfer from an all-American golfer? Here's the story: No Jews on their golf courses Anti-Semitism in America is not only the preserve of extremists. It is alive and well among the seemingly civilised middle class, writes Daniel Jeffreys When the white supremacist Buford O Furrow Jr shot five children in a Jewish daycare centre on Thursday 12 August he was doing something that has become more American than apple pie. Over the past year, 15 Furrow types have gone hunting with a bagload of military-style weapons for the purpose of killing a stranger of the wrong race or colour. Jews in particular have become the scapegoat of the growing number of far-right hate groups who blame them for the success of the civil rights movement, blame Jewish women for women's equality and Jewish entertainers for the advancement of gay rights. Nor is American anti-Semitism the preserve of extremists. When Furrow called his attack " a wake-up call to America to kill Jews", he was addressing the millions of Americans who subscribe to a deep-rooted tradition that stretches back to Ulysses S Grant, who expelled Jews from Tennessee during the American civil war. This middle-class bigotry never fails to shock Europeans, who have traditionally viewed American Jewry as a powerful lobby group and highly successful minority that is also an assimilated and integral element of the United States. That may be true among the chattering classes in New York and LA, but beyond these metropolitan boundaries the picture is far more sinister. [...] Full story: newstatesman.co.uk BTW, are you related to that Mr. Iceberg who surreptitiously went aboard the Titanic over half a century ago? (Just curious.... I don't mean any Jewish conspiracy to wreck the Titanic!)
