Jews Should Openly Embrace Their Heritage
Dear Fellow American,
Anti-semitism is a phenomenom that has existed for ages. While these sentiments are much more prevalent and embedded in Europe than in America, still it is a concern in this nation.
The Nazis slaughtered millions of Jews. This genocide was obviously not just the work of a very small clique. Pre-1945 Europeans never regarded the Jews as inferior as they did with the Slavs,Gypsies,Orientals,Blacks,and Asian Indians. They had the misconception that the Jews used their intelligence and resourcefulness to manipulate and exploit the common man. They attributed the heavy Jewish participation in the arts,banking, and journalism as signs of a conspiracy when this should have been viewed as a cultural phenomenom.
Blacks constitute 80% of the players in the NBA and 70% in the NFL. Asian Indians own half of the American lodging industry.Yet no one has suggested illicit collusion. People of total/partial Jewish faith and/or origin represent 60% of Hollywood personnel and also represent the vast majority of high -level media operatives.This is despite the fact they are less than 4% of the population. This should be viewed as achievements and not as exploitation.
While Jews work well with each other, they are hardly monolithic and in America they are Americans first and foremost.The best way anti-semitism can be combated is for many Jewish Americans to stop their unconditional support for Israel and most importantly to embrace openly their descent and heritage.It is a shame many have changed their names and religion to “fit in”and many more choose to remain “closet Jews”. WWII ended 57 years ago and Jews must cease being sensitive if asked about their semitism. While Jews cite these practices as reasons to avoid persecution, it gives the wrong impression to the predominantly “gentile” population that secretive conspiracy exists.
The following are few of the names of people of Jewish ethnicity in entertainment and mass communications.

Chris Isaak's mother is of Italian ( sepcifically Genoese) origin whose maiden name was Vignuolo.
Chris Isaak is Catholic
Although many Genovese have some Jewish ancestry.
This is so cool! However, I wonder what was the criteria for placement within the list? Most or least Jewish or just random? I'd love to know.
