Vats the matzah with "You People"!! Don't forget the Prune Jews Fran, they are the toughest bunch and will knock the crap out of you! lol
I grew up around and with many Jewish people in and around NY, never had a problem, never had any experiences of violence. I don't think Jews in the US suffer from the fears that Israeli Jews do. All I can remember is the hospitality and the great food, mmm Gefilte Fish, a warm Bialy, Bagels and Lox. This summer I will dine to my hearts content at my favorite Jewish Deli. I wish I had a real Jewish Knishe right now! Really! I think one of the biggest problems in the world is "overly serious people". Why can't we all just dance together in harmonious balance? Shalom!
