"anti-semitism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Americanism' as a bundle
My favorite new epithet is "cheese-eating surrender monkey."
What I find most interesting, is that anti-semitism has been added to the list. Jews are, for the first time ever in their national history (and I don't mean since 1948, I mean since 1000 BC), standing in a position of power on the global stage. There has been a lot of mythology about Jewish power, Elders of Zion and so on. But the reality was, at best, Jews were tactical allies only, of those who held real power in the world. Jews were always held at arms length, never really trusted, used for their money and skills, and frequently discarded after use.
Today, Jews for the first time ever, are part of the permanent In Group. It is fascinating, to watch the ideological rapprochement, between the fundamentalist Christians (whose anti-semitism was always just beneath the surface) and the Jews. |
