Dear Tom,
   
    My pleasure! I'm on the computer, but have to go out again and shake  the snow off my lemon tree so it doesn't collapse. From 02:00am when I first shook it, I found 15 cm on it at 09:30am. I'm praying hard that it stops, but G-D Decides.

    The funny thing about the joke is, the Nazis wrote stuff in the 1930s and early 1940s like the Arabs write now, and their allies the Japanese took them seriously, and, in effect, said,"If the Jews are so powerful, why do you want to get them angry?!"   Grin

    Of course the fact that Jacob Schiff, a wealthy Jewish financier and very big Japanophile, had helped fund the Japanese side in the 1904 Russo-Japanese War, due to love of all things Japanese and hatred of the anti-Semitic Russians, didn't hurt.

    And the Japanese actually treated the Jewish refugees in China (primarily in Shanghai, Harbin and also in Hong Kong) the best of all the populations they subjugated in East Asia, and helped 50,000 Jews get to Kobe from Nazi-occupied Europe, and thus saved them from the mass murder which the Nazis perpetrated on over 6.8 million Jews in Europe and North Africa.

   Best,
   Shabbat Shalom,
     Joey
