Thanks.
The fascistification of popular Moslem culture must be dealt with.
Why fascists are so rabidly anti-semitic, I don't know, or frankly care.
Jews lived safe, properous lives in the Moslem world for many centuries, for the most part.
Baghdad and Tehran both had active Jewish communities, as did Damascus.
It seems that as a society moves into fascist mode, it has to find an "other" to balme the failures and corruption of the fascist society on. For some reason jews are that group all too often.
In a way, anti-semitism is a good barometer of deeper societal problems.
The Israeli sodiers refusing to continue Sharon's bloody brutal poicies are a good sign. Maybe popular opinion will recover enough to find another brave leader like Rabin who can lead from truth and hope instead of lies and fear.
