Huh! This post made me read lot about anti-semitism, anti-zionism and etc. and I was wondering why are all these happened/happening! Are they the waste produced because of progress/survival of mankind?
We need more serious/deeper systematic effort to eliminate this waste and reduce its generation in first place. I am posting this just because of the shock/dread I got from reading about anti-semitism.

I liked this quote from wikipedia:
“…have led some to question Borat’s sexual ethics.”
