Math has never been my favorite subject. In fact. to be honest, it left me cold, no sense of humanity emanating from it. It measured, without underlayers of explanation, without room for maneuverability. How does one truly respond to say, on a scale of 1-10, with ten the worst, how much is your pain today? Seriously? Reducing pain to a number? What if my tolerance to pain differs from yours? What if 10 is insufficient by quite a bit? What is the type of pain giving you that number you chose? What does it really tell the doctor and actually, do any of them actually read the answers on those numerous forms one fills out at the doctor's office?
How about these questions, the open-ended ones which are reduced to a yes/no response? Do you always feel happy? Truly? If one is not a grinning fool immune to reality, a sane answer would be No. But that would place you in a category of one needing mental health attention. So many stupid questions that it boggles the mind and raises one's blood pressure just as it is being measured!!
What truly annoys me most are responses mashed into one huge measurement of response, expected to satisfy your need to know or informational intake necessary to form an opinion and/or take action? When a poll states the 'x'% questioned agreed or disagreed, that number must be analyzed and evaluated within context unless it is absolutely clear that there is only one possible answer or response. Any other response is, or should be considered an outlier, definitely in need of attention and response. As for responders being reduced to fractions, please describe and portray, as exactly as possible, the appearance of a fractionated person. The coldness and imprecision of interpretation are ipso facto placing them in a doubtful category. Numbers are open for misinterpretation and misuse. (For further information on that topic, please, contact Trump.)
What is real are people. What is real are the details of the lives of these people. What is real is the actual objective verification, presented sans deliberately weighted words and tones. "They said" - with emphasis on the "said", a major no-no. Yet, there it is, too often, too influential, causative of mis and dis information, burying truth under slabs of subjectivity passed off as objective relaying of truth. Basically, the state of news reporting today. Unfortunately, and so conducive to great harm.
Here is a most relevant situation. Today, 42 days into the Gaza War, oh so concerned 'humanists' wring hands, shed crocodile tears, and predict a disaster within TWO days as all food, water and fuel will run out. Wow, wow indeed, a miracle in our times, as those two days are replayed day after day after day, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Corrosive lies, passed off as truth, yet even as the lies are exposed via reality, the harm emanating from these lies wreak their purposeful damage.
The public willfully buys into that lie even as the truth states the opposite, clearly there in pictorial reporting. These 'starving, dehydrated, living in filth poor "victims", always on that miraculous repeating two-day deadline, display absolutely NO signs of starvation or even a lack of any food, no dehydration, which would have been quickly apparent, and are ever so clean, washed, wearing clean clothing. Truly, a modern-day miracle. A lie perpetuated by Hamas publicists, complicit 'news' reporters and a public eager for anything which demonizes Israel and world Jewry. Hook, line and sinker, and come back for more.
Truth is a very limited commodity here. Scan the pictures of Gaza, where digging and rescue are apparently happening, and keep looking, for the repetitive appearances of 'rescuers', so clean, seen again and again. Such good actors!
Where is the outrage of the world when the Red Cross is denied access to the hostages. Does anyone even care, or are these merely more throwaway Jews? Not worth a fuss, are they?
An offer of release of hostages is bruited about but actually, check those cold numbers for the truth.
40 women- and the rest?
13 children - and the other 17?
0 men. 0 mention of elderly.
No visual take on welfare of the captives.
No schedule of release of remaining captives, the majority of the kidnaped Israelis.
No mention of young girls and boys, just inducted, declared unreturnable by Hamas.
In return: a ceasefire of five days during which they can regroup, rearm, rewire, sentencing more soldiers to death.
No further talks re the release of those remaining nor information about them.
Release of many terrorists within Israeli cells. A disaster on the same trajectory as with the debacle of Gilad Shalit.
And back here at the ranch, all the ranches throughout the world, Jews are now immersed in fear inducing dark realities of threats, harassment, intimidation and even predictions of death, gruesome ones at that. The numbers here? The downsizing of the size of the peaceful Jewish rally in DC, the shameful boycott of drivers to drive buses for rallygoers, the continuing boycott of and vandalization of Jewish stores, homes, businesses, the constant doubting of facts as presented by the Israeli army - and then spoken of in the same beath, equated with barely there islamophobia, as the campuses implode and explode with their vile and violent Jew hatred - how dare they!!!!!
The constant comparison of numbers of dead - the figures from Gaza given by Hamas, known to tell just a few lies in their time! The babies always mentioned, never really seen, and the omission of Israeli contributed incubators and evacuation of said babies. Nope, only silence. The massacre of civilians by Hamas and joyous Palestinians, innocent all, who joined in the romp of Oct 7, even as the burial of a set of twins, 12, and their great aunt who raised them, burned alive, roped together, is now to take place, only just identified. And the world - silence again.
No, numbers should be recognized as of little worth unless accompanied with the truth behind them. Only then will they cease to be cold, but instead carry the truth along with them.
From 1-100 rate your pain at present:
Unable to be quantified.
I am overflowing with anger.
I am drowning in sorrow.
I have guilt feelings for being unable to do a damn thing to change the world, to end Jew hatred, to bring back to life the slaughtered, again. To soothe their pain and agony. Does it ever end?
I am helpless as I watch, see, the tragedy unfolding in my own family and I cry, we all cry so that it is a wonder the well for tears has not run dry.
G-d, where the hell were You that day and where are You now?
Answer the pleas of so many, now multiplied by so many, so much. Heal our Yitzy, our so sweet treasure. We need him more than You.
HEAL, CURE YITZY
YITZCHOK ELIMELECH BEN CHANA SARAH
DEAR G-D, I PLEAD WITH YOU.
HEAR US.
