Anti This and That

The anti this… We can be anti this and anti that say, our hatred of Muslims is there but not deep and is often based on ignorance. But we have to face the fact that anti-Semitism is in the psyche in the western mind. Here we have to differentiate between Israel and the Jews as there is not many of them in that state of Israel, the sitting government there are Zionists. What worries me way anti-Semitism is deep-rooted, we have to be aware of our feelings at all time but why is it so? Of course, the Jews are successful people who tend to come on top in economic matters, if our hatred is based on envy we should be ashamed and clean our souls. After the war and the pogroms faced by the Jews in my country to behave Jewish still denote a negative emotion, like greed, and underhand as being Jewish when it is not. I blame Christianity too, over the years, has put fuel to the fire with Jewish rhetoric. We must come to the understanding that a Jew is a fellow man with good and bad qualities as I have a look at facts and not the myth.
