	U.S. Policy Toward Americans in Peril
		American Jews were subject to the same anti-Semitic regulations and dangers as any other Jews who came under the control of the Nazis.
		Americans in the occupied territories could not travel and communicate freely; they needed special permits to leave and those were rarely given.
		One State Department official suggested that the Passport Division provide a list of passports issued in Europe during 1941, as well as a list of Americans whose passports were validated in 1940 or 1941 for continued stays in Europe, so the Department could check for Americans in Europe who might be entitled to repatriation.

	Jewish Americans wary of Bush evangelical base - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The Jewish leaders say President Bush's gains among heavily Democratic Jewish voters for his support of Israel and the Iraq war could be offset by policy initiatives influenced by evangelical Christians, who many Jews think are anti-Semitic despite their support of Israel.
		The Jewish leaders suspect anti-Semitism, which several polls say is on the rise in Europe, has been fueled by the deteriorating Israeli-Arab situation and hostility in many quarters toward the war in Iraq, and is increasing insecurity and fear among Jewish Americans.
		Bush is limited because Jewish Americans are basically pro-choice, pro-gun-control, liberal Democrats who frown on religion in public places and even on going to war with an enemy of Israel.
