> What gets lost in all the saber rattling and bellicosity concerning

> The Jew as Predator

> Generally, it appears to me that someone has to have had a trigger

> How Jews Create Their Own Opposition

> Second, and this was the really key event, when my children received
> death threats from a Jewish telephone caller - merely because I had
