Watch this and start to be an American, “walk the walk.” Do something, don’t just talk, don’t just sit and complain and, especially, stop watching television and reading newspapers. What kind of people actually pay money to be lied to? TIME FOR AMERICANS TO FACE THE TRUTH. And a comment on You Tube by alawson911: "Ever wonder where antisemitism really comes from? Ever think "hmm, did everyone, everywhere, just develop some kind of irrational hatred towards a group of people so small and so identical (ethnically) that there really is no difference? Here's your answer: a state for supremacists, a "Jewish state", supported by the vast network of Jews around the world. Tell you what Jews, I'll make you a deal; stand against this monster created in your name and we can all be friends. Don't, and we can't be!"
