Jewish?
Well, I'm Catholic. Christians love the Jews. How could they not. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were Jews. The Old Testament is part of the Hebrew bible. But yes, the Jewish influence in the U.S. Congress is huge. Why is that? Who speaks for the Palestinian cause?
"The question to be asked is how long can the history of anti-semitism and the Holocaust be used as a fence to exempt Israel from arguments and sanctions against it for its behavior towards the Palestinians, arguments and sanctions that were used against other repressive governments, such as South Africa? How long are we going to deny that the cries of the people of Gaza... are directly connected to the policies of the Israeli government and not to the cries of the victims of Nazism? You cannot continue to victimize someone else just because you yourself were a victim once, there has to be a limit." Author: Edward Said
