I think it is awfully dangerous to think about groups as if they were really all one person. I'm what you might call very anti-English, but I'm married to someone who would choose that label, and I know masses of such people - it is only a minority of 'em who behave like mad pigs. In the same way I've known all sorts of Muslims. Most of the Jews I've known, on the other hand, were pretty much the same - internationalist, anti-Zionist and irreligious. That made my experience different from yours, clearly. It takes all sorts to make any group, any nationality, any religion, and I think it is much safer to stick to political things like Zionism, toryism or whatever, in which people have chosen something. I once got very near to deciding to 'become' a Jew, but realised I'd never be properly accepted and would be a lot better to stay what I was: part of a people that are about as various as they come. It cuts down on the team spirit, but it is actually more interesting.
