MORE TWISTED STUFF ON THE CONVICTION OF KHODORKOVSKY IN RUSSIA - NOW THE FAMILIAR AND UNWARRANTED ANTI-SEMITISM CHARGE

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL

"The Kremlin is being anti-semitic by targeting Khodorkovsky and Berezovsky, both jewish oligarchs..."

The writer of that comment cannot possibly know the facts which would substantiate what he is saying.

Because someone happens to be Jewish and is convicted of a crime, there is evidence of anti-Semitism?

Jewish people never commit genuine crimes?

The writer's comment is the rubbish of reverse-prejudice.

And perhaps he should take note of today's news that the former president of Israel was convicted of rape and other sexual crimes.

But then I guess Israeli courts too are anti-Semitic.

Nothing like calling names when you know none of the facts.
