#1 The Hammer rocks, as usual.

#2 Look. Harry Truman used to tell derisive Jewish jokes. Richard Nixon said nasty things about Jews in government and elsewhere. Who cares?

I care. Bowing to recognized popular support for the preservation of Israel does not redeem a personal core of anti-Semitism. Much more than Truman, Nixon embodied an intensely hipocritical nature in his denigrating and eliteist attitude towards the American electorate.

American anti-Semitism is alive and well. One need only listen to Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or Louis Farrakhan to be assured of such. Pseudo-Christian neo-Nazis do their share of the hating in turn. Nor can significant portions of the American Muslim community be exempted from this reprehensible posture.

Make no mistake, in seeking to preserve the front-runner status it earned during the Holocaust, Europe still continues to clutch at its silver medal despite the MME (Muslim Middle East) having finally snatched the gold from them.

Truman and Nixon were the two greatest friends of the Jews in the entire postwar period: Truman secured them a refuge in the state of Israel, and Nixon saved it from extinction during the Yom Kippur War.

With an even increasing lack of will to defend Israel's anti-terrorist military action, one can only wonder if America will finally reveal itself to merely have been a fair weather friend after all. Let us certainly hope not if we are to have any hope of learning from the one culture that has even the slightest notion of how to deal with Islamic terrorism.

#3 Personally, I'm a lot more concerned with ongoing international delegitimization of Israel (upper classes antisemitism), than with antisemitic jokes by drunks.
