Something else of the day: People like to point out that Hitler did not invent hatred for the Jews, that the Jews were widely hated in Europe in the nineteen-thirties. I listen carefully when this comes up and find it's usually a way to say something just a little negative about the Jews - well, gee, if everybody hated them, well ... Well, I ask, who exactly were all these people doing all this Jew hating? Europeans, maybe, but more significantly, Christians - members of a religion started by a Jew for Jews, the founder of which told his followers to include others.
