Anti Semitism Evolves

Dear Mr. Pipes,

Thanks so very much for an interesting yet frightening article. It contains many facts which other readers than your own, should read, in whatever medium.

In my opinion, the seminal paragraph is this one:

"Israel faces the most extreme danger, surrounded as it is by enemies who in the past generation have dehumanized Jews in ways reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. In both cases, governments have engaged in a systematic campaign to transform the Jewish next-door neighbor into a beast-like threat that can only be controlled through his destruction. In Nazi Germany, this outlook culminated in the death camps; today, it could, and I stress could - I am not predicting it will - end up in a hail of nuclear bombs descending on Israel, a prospect that one powerful Iranian leader has publicly mused on. This in turn could result in a second Holocaust, again of six million Jews."

Keep them coming, Mr. Pipes!
