I am sure that most people will put this guy off as 'crazy', but there are people walking around each day that have this same level of mentality, they are just not as 'brave' enough to put it into action. A sad world we live in:

I cannot believe there are people still like this in the world. I can't stand hearing anybody say things like "I was taught by my family" or "it happened to my ancestors". We live in a completely different time right now and it's up to US to change the way we treat eachother. It makes you wonder what kinds of good could come from people if they started channelling all their hating energy into positive actions.

A New Wave Of Anti-Semitism

Where I live, in Manchester Uk, it is like the north/south divide within the Jewish community.(generally speaking) most attacks are on Jews from north Manchester who tend to be of the orthodox faith, which I gather are slightly more religious in their way of living. A lot of graves/head stones at the Jewish cemeteries get desecrated, and vandalized.
The Jews from south Manchester, (mainly reformed Jews) who sometimes aren't quite so obvious looking that they are Jews ie-- not all have the traditional beard, and most only wear their yamulkah (head attire) for synagogue and religious observence for festivals/religious days, do not seem to receive the same sort of hatred as their orthadox relatives.

There is so much intolerable cruelty in the world, and I feel that all people should have the right to their own beliefs/opinions, and should be able to live safely without fear.

This is a story about a very calm, reasonable, respectable spokesman for Iran. Read what he has to say:

Now we will pass over this "Iranian expert's" stated belief that Tom & Jerry is a product of "the evil Jewish Walt Disney company." After all, the cartoon's producer MGM was also a Jewish company ( Louis B. Mayer / Walt Disney -- what's the difference, really? ). Instead, the video gives you a chilling view of the Fascist mind at work. Taking in the tone of voice, the calm demeanor, the slick look and the deadpan delivery, you might almost think this person believes every word he says.

And a little bit in the commentary on this man's speech.

One other point from the commentary:

It is my deepest concern that this type of speech is normal, that there are many, many people saying such things as this in many different places throughout the Muslim cultures. It most certainly happens here in the US. I know that it is happening in the UK. People such as this not only deny the Holocaust, they justify it. And many people believe them.

6 shot, 1 fatally at Seattle Jewish center

A man walked into a Jewish organization Friday afternoon and opened fire, killing one woman and injuring at least five others before he was arrested, officials said. The gunman, who employees said claimed to be a Muslim angry at Israel, forced his way through the security door at the Jewish Federation after an employee had punched in her security code, said Marla Meislin-Dietrich, a co-worker who was not at the building at the time.
