- American politics isn't nearly as paranoid as in some
- other countries. The excesses of NAZI Germany are well
- known, or course, but events in Eastern Europe following
- the collapse of communism have taken a familiar turn.
- In Hungary, with a population of only 30,000 Jews, there
- are growing calls for limiting their rights, since they
- are widely being blamed for most of the problems of
- the country both under and since Communism. And Life
- Magazine recently documented the various groups in
- Latvia which have sprung up to expel Jews from the
- country for the same reasons, despite the fact that
- nearly every Jew in the country was killed in the
- Holocaust. Latvian Jews who can are, today, escaping
- not just to Israel, but to Poland and Germany!
-
- In the US Jews are 3% of the population and some people
- are willing to believe they run the show. In many eastern
- European nations they are an even smaller portion of the
- population and many people are willing to believe anything
- about them.
