Anti-Semitism
In my opinion, Anti-Semitism / Zionism / America are not the same, however most of the time they are linked together because of the US's support for Israel. On CNN and other news broadcasts, we frequently see both anti-Zionism and anti-Americanism uprisings or riots together -when both the American flag and Israeli flag are set on fire. Why they are doing this- I'm not so sure- but perhaps they are trying to send a message to America- as long as they support Israel politically- they will be hated. Or maybe- America is the ultimate symbol for Western countries? Any other thoughts?
I decided to post the video of Borat (Mischa Baron Cohen- a Jew) when he is speaking to an American (southern) who hunts extinct animals. If you watch the video- you will note that Borat engages in a Anti-Semitic conversation about the Jewish people. Cohen (or borat) is doing a great service for the world, he is showing, by raising the issue of how anti-Semitism still exists- even in the United States!
