How can someone who had the mental toughness to survive the Holocaust be so taken a back by the graffiti of a very few juvenile thugs? You don't think its reasonable that they would find this upsetting?

I remember growing up in NY where a local synagogue was repeatedly vandalized. The press and many Jewish community leaders cried "antisemitism." I found out that the anti-semites were my three Jewish friends who figured out how to get inside the synagogue when it was locked to the public.

You don't think its reasonable that they would find this upsetting? Frankly, no. If there is one thing God's people should have figured out by now, it's that they will be targeted by those who aren't.
But to paraphrase Rabbi Daniel Lapin's book "America's Real War," if American Jews don't stop making irresponsible accusations of anti-semitism against American Christians, they're going to alienate the only friends they've got.

I would say that there is a lot more anti-Christian sentiment out there than anti-Jewish... Funny, you don't here the Christians whining.
Maybe because Jesus said, "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake."
As a Catholic, I consider the Jewish people my family, but you guy's have got to develop a little thicker skin.
