Why do Jews fear the religious right? That MAY be because the religious right tends to be conservative, in both deed and doling out dollars. Jewish people have been stereotyped as devious, controlling, conniving con-artists who prey on weak people, and are always looking for or asking for a free favor or handout.

Consider this: had my grandmother's family not emigrated, she would very likely have ended up in an extermination camp, with gruesome results. For her generation, there is a sense of narrow escape.........
