However, it should be titled: Hate Jews, Love Israel: The Logic of Right-wing American Anti-Semitism, as it only covers the anti-Semitism from the right, with the exception of the neo-Nazis and their ilk who neither love Jews, nor Israel. Also, for the most part, the only Jews who have had an success in being heard in most arenas, especially Republican ones, take a very hard right position, like the minority they are within our own small minority.

The one thing about anti-Semitism in America which I find to be true, is the lack of interest most people have in it. It isn't seen as a "real" bigotry, for various reasons to various hate groups and individuals which ascribe to some of those views. The other thing I find to be true is the completely lack of knowledge about anti-Semitism and Jews, as a people and culture. That is usually from anti-Semites who aren't right-wing oriented.

Since when did Jews become monolithic? HoneyBadger Feb 2017 #1
