KEN LAYNE posts a lengthy response to Josh Marshall’s comment on the correlation between being Jewish and supporting Israel:

I’m not Jewish — yet I couldn’t be more disgusted by the tidal wave of anti-Jew/anti-Israel crap this year.

In fact, I’m a white-trash Kentucky/Louisiana kid who never even knew what a Jew was outside of Moses in the “Ten Commandments” until I moved to California as a youngster. Hell, Catholics were weird enough for me, back in New Orleans. (Yeah, I knew some priests, but they were just nice old drunks.)

I was going to excerpt more, but Layne’s piece is too good to try to summarize. Just go read it.
