While I am prone to see much through the prism of Jew-Hatred, I get soooooooooooooo often confirmed in my assumptions: I have yet to meet somebody “acceptable” who hates Jews (yea including the ones of the “I dont hate Jews but Israel…blablabla” persuation, but everyone I have come across in the last few years,( when the dormant virus of Jew-Hatred is back with a vengeance and “I hate Israel” has become the most fashionable handbag to carry,) whom I took an immediate liking to turned out to be an Israel/Jew lover !
