Scapegoating As A Way Of Life

According to Hot Air, the Anti-Defamation League (an organization founded to stop the defamation of Jewish people and secure justice and fair treatment to all) did a poll of Europe and found that nearly a third of Europeans blame the Jews for the global financial meltdown and that more Europeans than that think the Jews have too much power in the business world.

The survey concluded that in Spain, 74 percent of those asked say they feel it is "probably true" that Jews hold too much sway over the global financial markets. That is the highest percentage in the survey. 

According to the article:

"When Germany collapsed in World War I, no one wanted to take responsibility for conducting an utterly destructive war that bankrupted their nation and killed millions.  It was a lot easier to blame the Jews for their own failures -- and it led to disastrous consequences."

The worldwide financial crisis had its roots in America, with some very unJewish people.  Jimmy Carter expanded the Fair Housing Act in 1988 and Bill Clinton further strengthened it.  I am certainly not opposed to the end of descrimination in housing, but after Clinton strengthened the Law, groups like ACORN began to put pressure on banks to grant loans to people who couldn't repay them in areas with little or no resale value.  At that point the writing was on the wall.  Add Chris Dodd (sweetheart mortgage deal with Countrywide) and Barney Frank (conflict of interest due to relationship) and Congress' refusal to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddit Mac.  The banks found a way to sell bad paper (mixed in with good paper so noone could tell which was which) and we were heading for disaster.

Scapegoating Jews is stupid, unconstructive, and does not help solve the problem, but we need to remember that the Jewish race is 'the canary in the coal mine'.  When the Jews are mistreated or maligned, bad things begin to happen.  We need to clean our own houses before we start labeling any one group of people as guilty of anything.
