John Galliano & A Brief History of Antisemitism

Christian Dior designer John Galliano was fired for making anti-semitic remarks to a Jewish couple in Paris a few nights ago. What did the Jewish couple say that brought Galliano to proclaim"..I love Hitler ......Jews should be gassed."? Maybe they were laughing over dead Palestinians or praising the Israelis for the slow-motion genocide of the Palestinians. Would that conversation have gotten the jewish couple fired at their respective places of employment if that were picked up by the press?

A brief history of anti-semitism would include the basic fact: There had to be a Semite first.
