Sometimes I Can Only Shake My Head in Wonder

A dear friend of mine, the late Rabbi Hugo Gryn, z"l, of the West London Synagogue, once said to me that "since the founding of the State of Israel, world Jewry tends to think they have escaped history". Himself an Auschwitz survivor, Rabbi Gryn then sighed, and said, "They're wrong." This article, in the Boston Review, shows just how correct my rabbinical friend is. What have the Jews ever done to Hugo Chavez, that he makes common cause with the Clown of Teheran, Achmadinejad?

Of course, as has been pointed out in numerous sources, anti-Semitism is protean. The same Jews who "control the world", as "proved" in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (itself a Christian forgery), are those who spread disease because of their poverty and dirt. One size does indeed fit all, where anti-Semites are concerned.
