American Jews are no longer a homogenous minority; we come in all colors and from all corners of the world.
Jews can live their own life as Jews and yet be part of a different country.
America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they're doing in Yugoslavia.
Like other important immigrant communities, the Jewish experience in the United States represents the ideal of freedom and the promise and opportunity of America.
