"Madoff case" is so different and needs not only special attention, but also a different media approach?
Shortly, how I see the case: Madoff is an American citizen (I hope I'm not wrong) who mismanaged and stolen the money of other fellow citizens and organizations from the States. Some of them are already bankrupt. It is a penal case and they are any other people involved, for sure. The overwhelming part of these organizations are Jewish. Madoff is accountable before the American laws and for sure he will be judged accordingly.
Where is the wrong spin?
In my opinion, in obsessively judging him from a Jewish perspective, trying to find the reasons why he did this to his fellows Jews, offering ammunition to Anti-Semits in "validating" their narrow minded theories for low IQ people.
In fact, I don't worry any single second this Madoff is Jewish and did this. I have nothing to do with this kind of guys. Why don't mention with the same frequency the ethnic affiliation and the religious grounds of Al Capone or of any other famous gangsters?
One of the main treats of Anti-Semitism is the oversimplification of characters and situations in order to fit the no-need-to-be proved assumptions. The mechanism of argumentation is very easy and sells. So, please, don't give up thinking, in any circumstances!
