“The Zionists were looking around for another enemy to have, because to them the Soviet Union was an enemy because they wouldn’t allow Jewish emigration. So they used that as an organizing tool, basically, and when the Soviet Union collapsed, there was no more organizing about the Soviet Union. So they looked around, and they said:  Well, the Muslims. Let’s find the Arabs and the Muslims, and make them the boogeyman.  And that’s what they did.”
