#1 This kind of thinking and speaking is common currency throughout the Arab and Muslim world. The only surprise is that a (possibly novice?) AP reporter wrote about it and sent it out into the great big world. Shoot, accusations of being a Jew or descended from Jews have been thrown about in recent Russian and Polish elections, and (if I remember correctly) in French and English elections as well. The rest of the world shrugs at things they consider Americans to be foolishly hypersensitive about.

#2 There are still plenty of older Germans who if they get really pissed off, call someone a "Jew".
