I don't blame jewish people for advancing themselves in America. On the whole, they tend to be very intelligent and hard working people. They have that right, as we all do.

My beef is with how we American's coddle Israel, and treat it way above it's fighting weight. Biden saying "The US has no better friend than Israel" a couple of weeks ago seems so out of order to me considering the reality of their trading partnership. If I was Canada, UK, Germany etc, I'd be pretty insulted by that comment. I just don't get why we have to bow to them so much....it's almost as if we are afraid of Israel.
