Talkback
Title:DINO AND "ANTI-SWISSISM"

City: Hilton HeadState: SC
When you awake in the morning in Switzerland, I hope you get to read this. The comments about Swiss behaviour are mild and accurate. Switzerland is a lovely place, Dino. It`s natural beauty is breathtaking but that is in contrast to the anti-Semitism that has been a core value there for far too long. Perhaps with the posts that have surprised you here,you begin to understand how the Jews must feel when the rest of us make the asides and comments we do about them as a people or about their birthright homeland, Israel. If you expect fairness, then provide fairness. If you turn your back on an entire people. steal their belongings and wealth and then vilify them diplomatically, don`t expect them to want to have too much to do with you. Einstein loved Switzerland; my wife and I have had wondeful times there and have great friends in Ticino. None of that changes the reality of what the Swiss have allowed themselves to do to the Jews. Israel should not get a laissez-passer; just a fair shake
