FEELNG IT

 Much of the post terrorist attack of Hamas and Islamic Jihad is rooted in deep feelings, of emotions taxed to the nth degree. Quite reasonably, most people were horrified by the results of the war waged by Hamas and Islamic Jihad on civilians. A family sitting at a table for a holiday meal. An autistic child who will suffer as the surrounding environment will intensify. The 85-year old grandmother with Parkinson, taken, without her meds. As one with Pd my heart breaks for I know what happens without meds. The baby ripped from a mother's womb, left to die, attached. They were taken together, in one bag, by an Israeli recovery team. The 9-month-old still being breastfed, mother left behind. Fierce warriors all!  They, along with over 1,400 more were added to a never-ending list of those martyred through the ages for one reason. Crime: Beng a Jew.  

But there is far more to the problem than the slaughter of more Jews on one day since the Holocaust. The goals of the murderers are clear, though they try to disguise it. As they speak of their 'love' for the Jewish people, 'merely' hating 'only' Israelis and all Zionists.  Sorry to bust your bubble of lies, there is no separation between the two - and you damn well know it, for your own Charter for your bunch of savages states the directive to do just that. Your 'battle cry" is "Mat al Yahud" - Death to the Jews.  

As we survivors, are left once again, aways again to mourn, to weep, to see, through the fog of war and the rain of droplets of blood, the vanishing images of generations which will never be.   Their souls return whence they came, awaiting a better, safer time in the world. Disappointed, some souls have been denied reality for thousands of years. They turn back, their images vanishing, Will there ever be such a time?  For an answer, and good luck on that, I refer you to the POB of the One Above. 

Here are some words which are depressing, evocative of a time which will seemingly never be - at least for the foreseeable future. Our spoiled children, entitled over their spoiled heads, and confused minds, have latched onto the newest fad. Unfortunately, the target of that fad is the man in the mirror, aided and abetted by the offspring of that vicious creature contained within.

The new black. That means the new topic that has become fashionable, and all the wannabees, all those seeking the new 'cool' are right there, up front and center. The new black on college is the oh so exciting campaign of increasing hatred of the Jews, the smallest minority in the world, approximately 4% of the population. Hence - championing    the butchers of humanity - Hamas - for they are deep into the new black, deliriously delighted at its power and attraction of the confused college students. 

Either defying parents or emulating them, as too many adults deny their Jewishness, speak gushingly of the deep love and affection of Arabs they never even met. How do they know this? Oh, the Arabs told them. They love Jews, only hate Zionists. That is, until the  blessed day they have a glorious opportunity to  stab, slash, torture , shoot, burn, behead the 'Zionist' before them.       

Led by wrong thinking professors who truly need to find another job, coaxed by Jewish columnists, apologists, who detail failings, the guilt of Israel, laying impossible conditions on them as opposed to the non-Jew who writes knowingly of the truth.  

This war has indeed brought most of world Jewry together. Certainly, there has been an awakening as they are presented with the viscousness of their   championed cause, their new black -Hamas - and their brutality. Yes, there are some deep divides within which need addressing. Hopefully, by the togetherness forced upon us by the present war for the survival of Israel and its population, a nation of and for our own, perhaps we have learned important facts.  

We are one people, No matter origin, color, degree or interpretation observance -we are one.   Seen by the world as one, let us finally internalize that very important concept. It is a point of strength.

Let us be together. Face the world as one. Together. 

Together, with brains and the power of the huge sums we donate to institutions of higher learning, to politicians, let's build a better, safer, less hostile world, for us and the world.    

And soon! Time is of the essence.

In the meanwhile, we can begin with a steady and firm support of Israel, for we are her, and she is us.   Imperfect, yes, but then again, so are we all.  

 HEAL OURSELVES.

• HEAL THE WORLD.

  HEAL YITZY!

Always together. Only together.
