Is anti-Semitism good for the Jews?

An opinion piece in Ha’aretz argues it is, at least in the sense that it strengthens community identity, and results in increased Jewish activity.
Perhaps, then, the paper ought to soften its opposition to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon – whose policies, according to yesterday’s editorial, are partially to blame for Fritz Hollings and Anthony Zinni’s anti-Semitic comments over the last month. Can’t they resist any opportunity at all to pull a political punch? Ugh.
