Mark: Call me cautious, but Iโm reluctant to speculate blindly on the anti-Semitism of people who havenโt even been born yet. So hereโs an appeal to actual evidence, as opposed to fevered imaginings: According to this ADL survey, 44 percent of foreign-born Hispanics are โanti-Semitic,โ as compared to 20 percent of U.S.-born Hispanics and 17 percent of all Americans. So, yes, I do think thereโs very good cause to believe that the descendants of todayโs Hispanic immigrants will turn out to be something other than the Jewish-hating monsters that you envision. Maybe Iโm wrong. But youโre the one making an extraordinary charge about a very sensitive and emotional topic, so itโs incumbent upon you to offer a compelling case to back it up. You havenโt done that. You havenโt even come close.
