Why should I care if I’m not a Jew? Well, first of all because feeding bigotry and conspiracy theories is just plain wrong, no matter who does it. Perhaps more importantly, it’s dangerous—especially when the target is a large group of people who happen to share a particular ethnicity or religion, and who also happen to be a minority in the country in which they’re being targeted.

This is how I feel as well. I am not Jewish but have a tremendous respect for Israel and the Jewish people. I have never understood anti-semitism and certainly don’t believe Jews are actively engaged in secret work aimed at taking over the world.

I believe Israel has a right to exist. I believe Israel has a right to democracy and freedom.

I also think it’s impossible to keep foreign interests out of U.S. politics, especially Israel. We are one of their staunchest and strongest allies. They are going to involve themselves, whether we like it or not.

I’d also like to nominate this article for a front page promotion. It’s an excellent piece on a very important topic.
