Anti-semitism has been in existence since Time Immemrial even before one could say it were the Jews who killed Jesus. In Ancient times they were a smart wheeler-dealer type, astute in money matters and unparalleled in evading taxes, with strange habits and a funny way to pay Homage to their Almighty God, even in their looks they were not like others with large noses and thick lips and often apt to be lulled into sin as in those forty days in the desert. No they were never popular even then. But they were supposedly ‘the Chosen People’ of God? so that one may well ask ask if the Lord our God had a sense of humour after all? But time wrought changes and today the Jew might even be a tall handsome young man or a beautiful young woman pending upon which part of the world into which he/she had finally wandered. However stigmas have a way of sticking and however smart and good-looking the Jew may be today he is eternally stuck with being that age-old wheeler-dealer with the big nose and still blamed for the Crucifiction Of Jesus. As for the Arab, he will never forget that Ishmael was the First-born of Abraham and Islam will lash out at the jew whenever he can for after all is not jealousy and envy a powerful but irrational impulse? The Arabs may have a lot to lose from this now seemingly powerful little nation which has grown from nothingness into a stalwart conqueror and he helps stir up the wrath of the world against the Jew by any or all means whenever he can. Therefore in whichever way you look at it, the Jew is an unfortunate being up against it with Antsemitism and its innate and unjustified beginnings rearing its ugly head at every corner. By the same token there is always that chance that some day with the pity of the Lord our God upon His ‘chosen’, soon it may come to pass that the Ahmadinejads and his ilk of this world may yet come to be thwarted by this Unpopular and Abominal Jew…………
