re: #305 RadicalModerate

In the Southern US, antisemitism was very close to the level of that subjected to African-Americans, and were specifically targeted by racist organizations like the KKK - this was one of the reasons that Jewish people rode side-by-side with other Civil Rights activists, and were assaulted (and in many cases, murdered) because of it.

Indeed and to be honest with you, that’s why I am skeptical of many Southern evangelicals who claim to love Israel. I mean the doomsday crap I think is bad enough but you can’t forget what happened to people like Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. Scary to think that wasn’t even 50 years ago. Jews were and to a degree still are portrayed in this country as the driving force behind left wing movements. Anti-Communism(and leftism as a whole) in this country always had a very not so subtle Anti-Semitic edge to it.
