Hi William B. Kohn; Re: "In Germany the Nazis came first for the Communist, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, ..."

Kind of odd, but that fascinating Mexican / American racist anti-semitic web site has a page with the full quote, comparing the experience of Mexicans in the US with that of the Jews in Germany:

aztlan.net

And then they have the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Go figure.

bill, That's the problem. His article wasn't about that. He's reducing the problem to anger at uppity Jews.

There's an awful lot on the plate over there and he reduced it to an argument that the folk there are inherently anti semite and therefore angered by Jewish uppityness. Some vastly small percentage are that way and are never going to change but the others are not.

Israel's real "crime", like that of the US, is reminding Europeans of the nazi past come forward to the present in the new guise of Islamism and they want to deny the necessity of facing it. They'll have to give up their version of PCness and they're pissed off - nobody likes being really, badly wrong. Hence stuff like the remark about the shitty little country and cattiness about the naivete of US policy.

Krauthammer can do lots better.
