Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

Could Zionist APARTHEID Israel 's crimes against humanity shift working class CHRISTIAN public opinion toward Old Joe Kennedy's " anti-Semitic " ( ?) point of view ? ) "
Antisemitism
[ "According to Harvey Klemmer, who served as one of Kennedy's embassy aides, Kennedy habitually referred to Jews as 'kikes or sheenies'. Kennedy allegedly told Klemmer that '[some] individual Jews are all right, Harvey, but as a race they stink. They spoil everything they touch.'[74] When Klemmer returned from a trip to Germany and reported the pattern of vandalism and assaults on Jews by Nazis, Kennedy responded, "Well, they brought it on themselves."[78] ]
NOTE : No doubt father of JFK , old Joseph P. Kennedy's " anti-Semitic " views were shaped by his dealings with capitalist class Jews. No doubt Jews " on the Left ", sympathetic to socialism ,like Albert Einstein , probably annoyed him. But he was also annoyed by Catholics on the Right , like the famous radio priest ( called a fascist ) Father Coughlin .
It would be virtual know-nothingism to pretend that anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany had no RATIONAL explanation; it was just ancient Dark Age crazed ignorance and barbarism .
In our time any real or imagined resurgence of anti-Semitism is more connected to the arrogant belligerence and crimes against humanity of Zionist APARTHEID Israel. No surprise that with genocide going on in Gaza, Palestine , the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " tries to shift the public's attention to ominous seeming anti-Semitism ( especially on college campuses protesting genocide in Gaza, Palestine ).
NOTE : Working class Jews do seem almost invisible in capitalist USA . I do recall talking to an old man at the Broad St . entrance of Roger Williams Park( across from Bessie's Jewish Delicatessen ) circa 1970 , who claimed to be Rhode's " first Jewish plumber " .
