An Anti-Semitic Left Hook
(Christian Science Monitor) Patrick Chisholm - One finds pockets of anti-Semitism at anti-globalization rallies, and plenty of it at pro-Palestinian rallies. Palestinian hatred of Israelis, I suspect, is based on more than just land disputes and the policies of Israel. Much of it likely derives from envy. Jews as a whole are among the most able, hard-working, and intelligent people ever to inhabit the earth. Wherever they go they succeed. They turned Israel into an economic powerhouse for its size, and "made the desert bloom." Success breeds envy. Envy breeds hatred. Terrorism is the end result.
