Baker Commission Report

You did a very good job disposing of the idiocy of the Baker Commission report. Perhaps, even more could be said, but I'm sure others will weigh in. However, there is a related matter that requires to be taken seriously.

The irrelevant focus by Mr. Baker and Company on the tiny, beleaguered Jewish State harks back to a very old policy which some believe to be very useful. I call it "Throw Them a Jew." Always a handy move when sharks are surrounding the ship, it is meant as a distraction and a delaying tactic. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It didn't work for the czars with their restive populace. It didn't work for the Poles with Hitler. It isn't working now for the Europeans with their obstreperous Muslim populations. Of course, it works very well if, just on general principles, you want to get rid of Jews. It is an anti-Semitic gambit and should be labeled as such.
