In my time traveling in the Middle East and Central Asia I've heard the Jews blamed for just about everything. I used to joke with Jon that we should start a blog called "Jew Done It" to preserve some of the more ludicrous claims. Since we already have a blog, I've limited my ambition to the addition of reoccurring column. So here it is, the first edition of Jew Done It PBOM style:

Antisemitism is rarely bound by the twin tyrannies of logic and common sense. For a comically ridiculous example see the recent coup in Honduras. Despite the fact that there are fewer than 100 Jewish families in the country, supporters of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya are blaming the Jews for the removal of their leader.

According to David Romero, news director of the pro-Zelaya Radio Globo, the Jews are "people that do damage in this country." If that wasn't enough Romero added, "After what I have learned, I ask myself why, why didn't we let Hitler carry out his historic mission?"

Zelaya himself has only perpetuate the rumors about Jewish meddling by telling the Miami Herald that he is being tortured by Israeli mercenaries with high-frequency radiations (sic).

The sooner this bullshit scapegoating stops, the sooner nations like Honduras will actually be able to fix their domestic problems, although I have little hope that this will happen soon. Until such a time, check back here for the latest in Jew blame.
