You're basing that on what, nothing of course.
What you lack are the facts. The truth. So here are a little fact...
As you can see...
Judd Hirsch .... Julius Levinson
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116629/
Now, the character name is Julius.
If you look at the original script to "Independence Day"...
There is no Julius.
http://sfy.ru/sfy.html?script=independence_day
Is that paranoia?
The name you will see is "MOISHE". A real Jewish name.
So why did they change the name of the Jewish character from
MOISHE a Jewish name to a Julius, a non-Jewish name?
Paranoia on my part? Give me a break, puleease.
