Hi Kagan, thanks for the two comments. I copied this one into the story, if you don't mind. It balanced it out; I wrote it in rant-mode.

My take from your comment isn't that there aren't Jews calling other Jews antisemitic it's that we experience them in different proportions. One person called me an antisemite and unfriended me on FB, but they weren't a real life friend. One real life friend, and Israeli, does call me antisemitic but I can't see him ever abandoning me no matter what I say.

As you point out Jewish People often don't get along on a good day. I mentioned that in one of my stories. Even if that truck is from a trouble-maker, where are the Jews outside the the truck with banners saying, "no Jew is antisemitic", or something like that?

This is a problem I've been expecting for some time. I felt Borat, especially, was sowing the seeds of antisemitism. My belief, in short, is that antisemitism occurs because Jews are generally smarter than others. When they rub it in their faces bad things happen. One of Chappelle's points was you can't be persecuted and powerful at the same time. Same for Israel. Yeah, I understand you probably bristle at that theory.

Anyway, thanks for commenting!!!
