Deja vu — Judith Apter Klinghoffer

Judith Apter Klinghoffer

A RACIST, ANTISEMITE CALLED BILL MOYERS

No, I am not using these terms lightly. PBS' long reigning "saint" (may his name be erased) deserves every adjective I used. He had the gall to say that since Biblical times God-soaked violence became genetically coded into Jews.

After all, for thousands of years, everybody has known when you see a Jews, you immediately cross the street.

I do not mean to be flippant. The accusation, like all race based Nazilike charges that particular religious groups posses unique genetic characteristics is beyond lunacy. But, then, where else can insistence that it is illegitimate for the Democratic state of Israel to defend itself from terrorists seeking to annihilate it for over sixty years lead?
