Another snippet that I just enjoyed reading:

"The first exception is that anti-Semitism can arise from Jews doing the right thing: although conspicuous Jewish support for the civil rights movement undoubtedly increased anti-Semitism among southern whites in the United States, Jews would never have thought to disclaim responsibility for causing this sort of anti-Semitism; on the contrary, it was a badge of honor. And second, although irrational, this Gentile pathology does spring from an all-too-human passion: ressentiment. If, as Nietzsche maintained, "slave morality" sprang from the Jews' envy of the truly aristocratic among them, Holocaust industry dogma maintains that "anti-Semitism" springs from Gentile envy of the Jewish aristocracy: they hate us because we're so much better. "The new anti-Semitism transcends boundaries, nationalities, politics and social systems," Mor­timer Zuckerman explains. "Israel has become the object of envy and resentment in much the same way that the individual Jew was once the object of envy and resentment." It won't escape notice that Holocaust industry dogma bears striking resemblance to the politically correct interpretation of the U.S. "war against terrorism." The Arabs hate us either because they're irrational fanatics or because they envy our way of life: it can't possibly be because we might have done something wrong—that's called apologetics for "Islamo-fascism."

The bold emphasis is mine (Jeff)
