Something tells me that Greeks, French, and British (just to name a few) might object to this assessment of the Jews:
“We are up against a people who think. They survived 2000 years of pogroms not by hitting back but by thinking. They invented Socialism, Communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so that they can enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power.”

it’s really EVERYWHERE these days, isn’t it… Read today’s Michael Totten for another glaring example.

Check out the full text of the speech and some of these examples of the news media’s whitewashing of the particularly hateful aspects of the text:

I don’t think the speech is all that offensive, actually. But I remain amused with his bizarre belief that the Jews invented democracy and human rights. Who knew that the Athenians were all Jewish. Also most 18th century European philosophers? All of that propaganda about Greek mythology, Jesuits education, and the Church of England is going to have to be stripped from our Western History texts, I guess.
