There are 13 million Jews in the world. The overwhelming majority are in the United States and Israel. Despite our small numbers we have power that can bring businesses and countries to their knees. At least that is what many people say when they need a scapegoat.
So why is Chavez of Venezuela and Manuel Zelaya, the deposed president of Honduras, blaming their perceived problems on Jews? It’s easy and convenient. The connection between Israel and the governments of these two countries is unexplainable by those blaming Jews for their predicament.
Fortunately it is difficult to blame Iran, North Korea, Iraq, and other international problems on Jews. What about Country Wide Mortgage and the American car manufacturers? Nope! Those businesses were not managed by Jews. What about MGM, and NBC? No Jewish management there either.
It’s getting harder and harder to blame Jews. Let’s see who can we blame? Hmm.
