Or during and after WW I. Remember Henry Ford's book, was it "The World Jew"? Hitler pretty much lifted some of his chapters 1:1 for Mein Kampf.

Maybe its like us and those guys who put us on "ignore" for whatever irrational reason. The ignore function, passive or active, takes many shapes and degrees of efficiency, I guess.

>Don't know the exact reason for Mr Mufti's pogroms, but likely had something to do with Zionism.

Oh come on... he didn't like Jews. And Jews didn't like Arabs, and Christians didn't like Jews, and Jews didn't like Christians, and Christians didn't like Arabs, and Arabs didn't like Christians.

The Grand Mufti in fact was probably anti-semitic, but who the hell cares? I don't understand why Arabs liking or not liking Jews has anything to do with the Palestinians having a state.

What caused people to be anti-black in the US? I know the answer. They didn't look like white people. Jews with their long sideburns and beards and funny hats don't look like Europeans. Muslims with their hijabs and strange customs don't act or look French, so they are discriminated against.

So if people don't want to be discriminated against by the majority, then they need to integrate as much as possible. That is the plain fact.

The country that allows for diversity with the least consequences is the US and we still have a lot of racism going on. I'm a second generation immigrant and have been assimilated, so I've experienced a few things myself. Not that I'm complaining. This country has been good to me and I think it is the greatest on earth, despite all its warts.
