What is more disgusting: the rabid anti-Semitism or its cynical justification and manipulation?

Personally, I believe that:

cynical justification and manipulation of anti-Semitism

Is far more disgusting.

My father came from a Native American heritage. Everyday both he and his very close friend, with the surname 'Priester,' had to fight bulleys in the school yard. My father and his schoolboy friend remained close until my father died.

I hate bigots and their defenders.

In describing one of the dilemmas the US and English armies faced in WWII, Eisenhower had this to say:

"One complication in the Arab tangle was the age old antagonism existing between the Arab and the Jew. Since the former outnumbered the latter by some forty to one in North Africa, it had become local policy to placate the Arab at the expense of the Jew; repressive laws in the past became even more so and the Arab population regarded any suggestion for amelioration of such laws as the beginning of an effort to establish a Jewish government. Remembering that for years the uneducated population had been subjected to intensive Nazi propoganda calculated to fan these prejudices, it is easy to understand that the situation called for more evolution than it did for precipitate action and possible revolution." Dwight D. Eisenhower, "CRUSADE IN EUROPE", Doubleday, pg 128 (1949)

Ragab also refused to be interviewed, but his editor, Galal Dewidar, said the column was not eulogizing Hitler but vilifying Israel for the hundreds of Palestinians killed in the current fighting.

Nah, of course not. Hey, they even criticize him for not killing enough /sarcasm

Or how some of the U.S. media buys it.
