Of course, mon frere, if it had any meaning in the context. In those days, the Jews already were feeling the wrath of the Nazi party: our poster above mistakenly identified the champion as Geman; I thought it notable that he was a Jew (imagine Hitler's indignation if a Jew had knocked Schmeling out: it was bad enough an African-American did!)
Now, take off your rabid Jazz Inmate imitation and calm down like a good little boy...there isn't an anti-Semite under every bed, you know?
That you can be on the very limit at what I may call: prejudice, and when I say this word it it is only not to use the other one, called anti-semitisme.
right-wing, ultra-pro Israel lunatics Outside?
I am no more an anti-Semite than you are an intelligent gentleman.
One who react that way must have some reasons to do....

Please keep in mind that one of the criticisms JFK faced during his 1960 run for the White House was "He will take all his orders from Rome."And even today, in some small towns in Arkansas and Texas that I know, it is better if the locals don't know you are Catholic. One time a friend laughed at the silly prejudices exhibited by one community...she was shocked when I told her if that community had known she was a Polish Catholic, she might have had the opportunity to see those prejudices in a much closer light!
Yes, I remember this " order from Rome " but is it in the magnitude of...he is a Jew or of Jewish ascendance...And that is world wide, not only in Texas, he-he...and certainly very present in Germany.
I agree that anti-Catholic prejudice is not what it once was in the United States, and I don't know whether to say fortunately or unfortunately here, but as you point out, it is not of the magnitude that anti-semitism remains in the world today.You know, in the New Testament, it says that one day the whole world will mass against Israel. It is a shame that I do not think this verse is just poetry or a metaphor.
Well, let look at it as maybe a metaphor and poetry. Like in " les Machabées."
