WE DON'T

  ...but actually, yes you do, very unfortunately so, as do too many others. Here is the standard go to response of most entities questioned or approached with information or a complaint, a reporting, of antisemitic harassment. "We don’t tolerate injustice of any kind, or persecution of any groups," It is as reassuring and responsive an answer as the well-known response of "maybe" to children. They learn very quickly re the unspoken no contained within that answer. Same thing here, a copout nonresponsive response, ever and always to a complaint re antisemitism. 

Actually, the honest answer would have an addendum along these lines - ''yeah, but actually not when it comes to complaints re antisemitism, up to and including threats to life and limb." I recently came across an interesting article re antisemitism and its lack of inclusion within the ugly barrel of biases of myriad types. Quite interesting and depressing at one and the same time as it seems to indicate that there is no hope for fair play here. It seems to be Jewish means to be hoist by one's own petard.  And there we are again - we are the cause of our own victimization, a pretty damned way out of trouble for Jew haters, for obviously, the fault lays within the very concept of Judaism and being Jewish. I believe that following these lines opens a wide path to "understandable " antisemitism, Jew hatred in full voice, hounds baying and riders invigorated by the entire gestalt.

Our fault, as we have been too vague, apparently, to find our niche and fit in. We do not fit in anywhere and that confuses the poor dears. Quite challenging for these oh so challenged dears, so they retreat to an easy answer, so simple, so easy, as too many hate what confuses them. A natural go to for people, justifying Jew hatred. Their fault. Should have chosen a proper definition. Yup. Exactly what category can we place you?

Are Jews a religion? Are Jews and Judaism a culture, a historical concept? Is it a culture and shared history?  And hey, do not omit race and color. Quite ironically, Jews have been lumped into the 'white" category, hence we are innately prejudiced against people of color, opening hate doors and windows to a reciprocated, justified hatred. Ah, so simple, so easy to internalize. Never you mind the significant role Jews played and continue to play within the civil rights movement. Why confuse truth if lies of omission and commission are plentiful.   

Nor does it end there. The 'white' people do not accept this categorization as there are Jews of color, of all ethnicities. In fact, is it not well known that Jews wish to replace whites with their fellow 'mudmen'? Get real, folks. Stick to the easy low road, so much easier to traverse. Never you mind the truth. We will simply keep on kicking it down the road, out of your way.  Now, let's move on. Almost there, full justification for Jew hatred. Won't it feel good when we are done and you feel a weight off your shoulders, left free to partake with full enthusiasm, no need to holdback. None at all.

    Almost there, folks. Finally, of course, the most popular without doubt: the powerful influence and control of and by Jews in oh so many fields of endeavor; print media, social media, airwave media such as TV and radio along with their oversize domination of the field of technology in so many facets. Not to forget AI. Education. All those   professors, teachers, writers, artists, research, science, banking, Wall Street, the medical and legal field, not to forget accounting. Even some criminals there as well. Nowhere safe for us, right? 

Dang it all! Never mind the hard work it took, the ethos of their homes, the expectation of doing well, living right, contributing to society. Never to forget to give back. hence, the huge percentage in the philanthropic world of Jews. From culture to specific beneficial causes. From civil rights to immigration and voting rights. To protection of the rights of women. Dang it again; of course, we have to hate them. Just so natural and so easy to blame them for all our woes. Yup. Should have thought of this sooner.  

This world is so topsy-turvy that it has cracked, broken, spinning off its proper axis and position. As a consequence, hope and goodness seem to fall off the surface of this world in ever faster speed and amount. I worry, along with so many others re the world we bequeath. 

 I worry about my people, victims through the Millenia, hated with a viciousness of no end, no limitations, as these acolytes of the Devil, of Evil, howl with glee, and bloodlust. Praising the murderers, the vicious barbarians who slaughter babies, rip mothers from children, viciously rape as a weapon of war. Totally incensed when Jews have the temerity to defend themselves, wherever, however they are beset and attacked.        

This cannot continue. It cannot. It must not. But where are the foes of this? Why have they not come forward? Those who come forward are the haters, the instigators, the lovers of bloodshed. They    chant the genocidal chants, praise the savagery    of Oct 7, before and beyond. 

This is a nasty world and the good, the untainted, are too silent. We need speed and energy, courage as well, to confront this evil even if physically. The energy of the fighters must be ramped up, exponentially.  Its existential threat is critical and must be powerfully addressed and defeated.  The alternative is not very tempting. "Once upon a time there was a place called earth...'

In the meanwhile, before we come to our senses or go totally off the tracks of sanity, please remember my Yitzy, waiting to hear of the treatment plan and   immediate future. What are the percentages, the options? We try hard to remain optimistic, hide our tears from each other, trying hard to remain strong and carry on with optimism and hope, but it is so hard to visualize a theft of our diamond. In my anger I rail at G-d, challenge Him to fix the problem. Answer why Yitzy, all children suffer so.     Why should this exist? Why has He written the current reality for His people so harshly?  

Why and why and why. 

Anger and more anger.

Worry. Love.

 So, I plead and pray.

And beg.

Please join with us and raise your voice as we ask for healing. Please. Please.

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
