Wow - must be something in the air today, such a refreshing spring day. You state <<The power of the Mossad rests in the fact that tens of thousands of American Orthodox Jews are willing to betray their native country for Israel>> Do you have anything upon which to base the premise that there are thousands of Orthodox Jews "in sensitive positions in our government and in our corporate structure?" Most Orthodox Jews basically spend their time studying and praying. I'm no fan of extreme religious beliefs and I classify Orthodox Jews in the same vein as extreme Catholics, Amish, and the Muslim fundamentalists found in Iran. In fact, I often find it quite interesting how much these sects have in common despite hatred of each other. Don't get me wrong. I respect everyone's religious beliefs but merely commenting that extreme religious beliefs tend to be often very surprisingly similar, in dress, symbolism and how they treat those in their sect and those outside their sect. But that's besides the point. Back to your assertion. The reality in America is that there are very few Orthodox Jews in any position of power, certainly not "tens of thousands" as you post. If you have something that says there are tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews in power, please post it. If you can support that premise, then perhaps you can find something that says that all those tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews "are willing to betray their native country for Israel," as you posted. With respect for your right to post your opinion, I would like to suggest that you have posted something that is at best an exaggeration and at worst demagoguery, intended to inflame passions against an entire religion, opinon parading as fact, bias appearing as commentary. Thanks in advance.
