this issue is more complicated then wicked Nazis versus the enlightened.
Philly has a pretty big Jewish population, and i grew up with a fair number of Jewish freinds. It wasnt a big issue, and i never spent much time thinking about it. They wern't any different from me, same socioeconomic group, same worldview.
But now i go to Boston University, or as it is more commonly known Jew U. BU has berzerkly fanatic Jews and rediculously wealthy Long Island jews.
I have to say, some of shocking arrogance i've seen from some of the more zionistic jews at school has given me a greater understanding of the issue of anti-semitism.
when you consistantly see groups of people refer to arabs as non-humans, show obnoxiously spoiled attitudes towards wealth, and consistantly mock Christianity while mantaining a psychotic zeal towards persecution of anyone that challenges their agenda...well it changes things. some of the things they said about Palestenians were turly abhorrent, but if you ever challenged them they'd call you anti-semetic.
Probably what made me most angry was the JAPs. I'd be doing ok with a girl until they found out my last name (it begins with a Mc) and then it'd be over. If you weren't Jewish you jsut aren't worth even considering. It's racist.
