Why is it only posts about the Jews that spark these endless exchanges? I write about Nasa Indians in Colombia, Mapuches in Chile, Mayas in Chiapas, Armenians and Kurds in Turkey, Ismailis and Baluchis in Pakistan, Ahmadiyyas in Bangladesh, Mouros in Sri Lanka, Evenks in Siberia, Berbers in Algeria, Hassaniya in Western Sahara, Sardinians in Italy, Houmas in Louisiana—and not a word of reply from anybody.
