There is a big difference between saying that I have been persecuted for being a jew ( I have not) and that jews have not been persecuted.. I am fortunate to live in the one country where anti-semitism has never been as big a problem as elsewhere. The US is one of the few countries that has not as part of its official governmental policy discrimated against jews. (in other words jews have not been kicked out of the us,. had their property confiscated, denied the right to have property, denied the right to vote etc). I do not consider myself to be part of an oppressed minority. > > >>There is no way to win in this discussion.

I have pointed numerous episodes of anti-semitic actions.
