TOO LATE!

Menachem Butler claps for State Department's new report on Anti-Semitism, and for the law, written by Congress, that preceeded it.

Sounds like a good idea, and we'd clap, too, but it's so much more fun to pick on the words that passed through Mr. Bush's lips on the day he signed the act:
This nation will keep watch; we will make sure that the ancient impulse of anti-Semitism never finds a home in the modern world."
Um... modern world? When does he think the "modern world" came into being? Last week? Pius 9? Edgardo Levi-Mortara? Pius 12? the Holocaust? La Croix? The Damascus Blood libel? Dryfuss?

Did none of this happen in the "modern word?"

Bizzarre.
