Why Are So Many People Antisemitic?

First, I know: this is a rhetorical question. Second, yes, this is the famous third rail of politics (this is not the only one, of course).

Witness:
  • earlier this month, the NY City Council was planning a trip to Israel. They met with fierce opposition
  • the President has tilted US foreign policy towards Arab countries, and abandoned Israel, one of our staunchest allies in a very difficult part of the world
  • the United Nations regularly passes resolutions critical of Israel, but never terrorist that randomly shoot missiles at her
One would hope that the human race is advancing beyond such prejudice, but this clearly will have to wait for another day.
