I didn't really know anything about them growing up. There was one Jewish family who were quite nice and were the neighbours of my beloved Grandmother -- father was a dentist and heavily into theatre really busting apart those stereotypes there! -- but I never really thought about it. I do distinctly remember being very off put by having to read the diary of Anne Frank in school though. I remember even as a young person thinking this is maudlin rubbish and I have no interest in this person and wondering why we had to read about her and not really wanting to.

Later on I think it was the Israel thing. I converted to Christianity later in life but I was always sympathetic to it and I remember seeing a video of these disgusting, sidelocked Jews screaming at some Palestinian Christians whose land they were stealing about how they killed Christ and they'd kill the Christians too. From there it was a hop, skip and jump from anti-Israel sentiment to KMac, David Irving and everything else.
