And don't forget that there was never a Jewish terrorist organization plot
to blow up the Reichstag. The whole analogy between "the West and radical
Islam":"Germany and Jewry" is faulty on its face, in addition to being a
veiled antisemitic comment (whether the original poster intended it as such
or not). Being Jewish myself, I'm royally offended to be likened to a
terrorist.
