Can you explain why this old, obsolete story keeps making the rounds?

Perhaps it is more comforting to stay focused on hating an old enemy than it is to face the destruction of our constitution right in front of us.

I think there is a very specific reason this story keeps circulating other than "anti-Russian" sentiment.

There is a religious revival taking place right now in the former Soviet Union that is making the leftists very uncomfortable. We have to realize that anti-Semitism has existed in Russia for more than a thousand years and it is not going to disappear overnight. In spite of that, Judaism is experiencing a tremendous revival and is flourishing as never before.

I suspect that because Orthodox Judaism is enjoying the greatest growth, the liberal sects, which never had much influence on Russian Jewry, keep hammering about residual anti-Semitism as the reason for their lack of success.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
