Maybe it has to do with religious myth or something. My family never got the memo. The Italian side of the family used to say "they're just like us, except they're not Catholic" and the English/Dutch/Swedish side had nothing to say at all. They just didn't see it as an issue.

Anyway, I am sorry to see anti-semitism rear it's ugly head again, both here and in Europe.
