US must be on guard against anti-semitism

ONCE again, hatred rears its ugly head in the USA.

We Americans have had it from former US President Richard Nixon, columnist Pat Buchanan and now from retired White House correspondent Helen Thomas.

All declared at one time or another that there were too many Jews in Washington politics and on the Supreme Court and they should all go back to where they came from (Auschwitz, Poland, Germany, etc.).

It sounds as if it’s right out of the Adolf Hitler playbook.

Fortunately, most Americans recognise that hatred comes in all forms and we must be on the alert always because it is a disease that will destroy us from within — along with our basic freedoms — if we dare let it go unchecked.
