When Nobel Prize-winning author and Holocaust survivor Elie Weissel was asked to state what he thought were the reasons for anti-Semitism, he responded by saying that he did not want to dignify anti-Semitics by furnishing them with a rationale for their hate.
It is possible that Elie Weissel had no answer to the question but there must surely be occasions when even he wonders why the Jewish people, more than any other nation, has attracted such prolonged and bitter hostility.
