At first, I thought I had lost my mind, or certainly, at a minimum, the larger portion of it. Else how to explain the yawning gap separating two versions of the truth as to what had gone on now for over four brutal, bloodstained, agonizing months. Two versions which resonated with anger and hate, with goals and aims perfectly opposite of each other. How could there ever be an end to the horror of the past four months, an actual permanent end rather than the ones - yes, plural ends - put forth by so many self-appointed experts.
These 'experts' can be found quickly, in oh so absolutely relevant sites and meetings, such as schoolboards large and small. Trade unions. Self-declared clarions of truth, a truth never ever actually meeting up with them. Imams preaching hate and bloodshed from bully pulpits, claiming their religion is one of peace and ... what was that? Oh, the myriad verses found within their Koran, their sutras, calling for, praising those who kill Jews, the more the better.
Thus, the first explanation and justification of the Oct 7 horror. Merely exercising their religious beliefs! What could possibly be wrong about that? Aren't we all urged, exhorted in loud voices, to follow the precepts of religion? There ya' go. No reason to trouble one's mind with conflicting truths. So simple, is it not? Well, not really, at least to my apparently wrong thinking mind, my mishearing ears and misinterpreting eyes.
As such, I am abjured to ignore conflicting minor statements and events. Evidently, Dearborn is not a city in America, calling for my demise or expulsion, whatever works, though permanent elimination is so much better. Confused, thinking those thoughts should be verboten, antithetical to true faith, solve The problem with a consultation with your imam. or choose to go online and read any one of the thousands of vitriolic postings re Israel and Jews. Elucidation handy, readily available.
Join a mob calling for blood, "whatever it takes" proudly carried through the paths of their riots called protests. Hear the joy, the determination, as they chant, robotically, with crazed eyes and hoarse throat "From the river to the sea", thinking we are all gullible and accept their interpretations of it, merely a harmless chant with a rhythm good for marching. Those damned Jews made up a story replete, rife with falsehoods, of their right to their claimed ancestral lands, biblically promised, their millennia long constant occupancy of the land, their rejuvenation of the land - forget it. Merely lies predicated upon more lies.
Oh, come again? The relics we throw away hourly, to the garbage dumps, the ones we dig up in our illegal excavations within the site of their holy Temple -pshaw, just ignore. Ignoring, ignorance- good for the soul, less troubling to the mind.
Another come again? The universities and antisemitism? Well, such a molehill into mountain accusation. Nah, we got that covered too. Of course. The panels meant to investigate are filled with our people, openly anti-Israel, antisemitic. Speakers of proper credentials are invited, no halt, to speak, their false words sliding smoothly off their glib lying tongues. Not very difficult to find a place in the universities. Not at all. Students eat it up. Music to their ears. Here are a few choice words they speak.
"...justified the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel as a "normal human struggle for freedom." "Today is just a normal struggle 4 #Freedom," "We will never forgive the Israeli ... government for making us take their children and elderly as hostages," posted on X.
"The Israeli public need to realize that their own government had caused all this bloodshed and they remain the ones responsible for this escalation and losses of civilian lives."
Yes, we can continue tomorrow. So much for you to internalize, to remedy and heal your confused mind. To think properly, with the 'better' truth. Correct? NO??!! Where have you been during this entire conversation? Have you not heard a word I spoke?What? What did you say?
Oh, you just returned from Be'eri and the Nova site.
You helped find the dead beneath the rubble and ashes. You found the bodies of children, of babies, of grandparents, shot in beds, tortured, wired together, burned alive. You helped load bodies of these butchered into packed transport. Why? Why do that. It interferes with our truths. You are in dire need of further education, to hear the new truths.
NO!!! You are not returning? You refuse? See what you Jews do/! You bring this all on yourself. From the river to the sea - there is no room for you."

Yitzy, there is always room for you in our hearts, in the stories we tell, in the pictures and the memories we cherish.
Always and forever. Always and forever.
