You think the peope who recyle those old lines about money-grabbing etc

are very aware of what's going on in Gaza etc? You think the bloke who talked about big noses to you had that in mind?

Not so sure - seems like maybe there's some latent anti-semitism around - at least in some people - that hasn't shifted. Just seems odd to me. I mean it's not as if we've had a big influx of Jewish immigrants any time recently.

Gues it just must have deep roots.
