    The leaflets were handed out. The government of the Ukraine isn't behind it. Seems simple to me.

    I wonder if we can charge Further and Crandc a $50 Jewish registration fee?

    Further would argue he's an atheist, and crandc would ask why you're discriminating against her lifestyle.

    But if you pay the fee it will show them it's a good thing to do.

    Be a leader, pay me $50.

    So, whether or not this is real or fake, the brings up a question I have been meaning to ask this forum:

    What's the deal with anti-semitism?

    Now, granted, I'm Jewish so of course I am biased, but I don't get all the Jew hatred around the world. Does it have to do with the killing of Jesus? As I see it, Jews don't proselytize, they stress education and values and hard work, they are funny and charitable, and the ones I know try to be menschy (mostly).

    Now, Israel today is a different matter, or maybe it's not. I was in the West Bank a few years ago and it changed my view of the situation almost 180 degrees. But even given the bully that is Israel, general anti-semitism runs much deeper.

    Anyone care to enlighten?

    I don't get it either, but I think some of it has to do with the stereotype that Jews are greedy and cheap. That's the best I can come up with. Half the time I have no idea that someone is Jewish.

    I've never understood it either. I do know that many anti-Semites believe that Jews are in disproportionate control of much of the world. It could also stem from a basic misinterpretation of the Bible, suggesting that God rejected the Jews as His chosen people. Outside of that, I have no idea.

    Anyone ever watch that old Brendan Fraser movie "School Ties"? That movie confused the heck out of me back in the day, because I had always thought that anti-Semitism was just a WWII-era thing; the idea that it still existed was baffling.

    Look at the behavior of the Ukrainians in WWII and the strains of anti-Semitism seen in the country is no surprise. They welcomed the Nazis as liberators and many Ukrainians served in the SS.
