I am not Jewish. My last name is connected with a prominent Jewish family. I was that little Jewish kid, to my Sunday School teachers. Most of them had been at my baptism, My Father's father was a noted preacher in the Elim Tabernacle a really conservative born again group. But people still thought he was Jewish. Although I have to say there have days when having people think I was Jewish, around 25 I just stopped fighting it, made me lots of money.

"Times have changed. I can say that I have never directly seen or heard anyone who has experienced anti-Jewish behaviour in my life. I haven't ever gone looking for it, but being from California it was pretty close to non-existent, at least from personal experience."

For many, anti-semitism is ANY criticism of Israel or Jews period. It's really gotten old..
