WHYOHWHYOHWHYOHWHYOHWHYOHWHY

 I am not quite sure whether the title expresses sheer crazed uncertainty, or questions as to why the world has gone off on a mad tangent, as if holding hands prior to a suicidal jumping off the cliff. I am not sure whether this is an exasperated why, as to why exactly the world seems to have lost its collective marbles or a why as in why the hell Jews must be experienced in the presentations and nuances of JewHatred and respond calmly, anger stuffed deep down, repressed, for to show anger is only to reinforce their bigotry and litany. 

Why is it now considered, openly, as an acceptable hatred ever growing in vitriolic prose, even as it rides the waves of apparent public opinion and   grown to be an acceptable, desirable, praiseworthy trend, its ever increasing levels of violence approved, even encouraged, its cloak of social acceptance increasingly burnt by the acidity and vehemence of talk and deed. 

It is a social movement which feeds on the worst of mankind, assumes that the worst will most often rise to the surface as it indulges free expression of misplaced anger and the transfer of negativity to targets providing for relief from one's own feelings and recognition of one's own insufficiency, the cause of one's own failures. So much better to blame others. Especially your neighbor, your boss, your coworker, anyone other than yourself. The Jew happens to make a wonderful ever present hatred,     the go to target, its burning kernel always at the ready.    

So why the Jew? Why and why and why as people attempt to explain, justify, understand the unexplainable, the unjustifiable, the illogical. Hatred, bigotry, do not lend themselves to sanity, instead lending themselves to insanity with a stamp of approval. Only, if ever, when society learns and chooses better options will this vile hatred finally fade into the background.

 Do I think it will ever disappear, to be seen no more? Nope. Not one iota, for apparently humans are not built for that. At some point, always, humanity seeks the lowest common denominator, a valve to open and release pressure quite unfairly, directed at the Jew, the stubborn Jew who refuses to give in to societal anathema and disappear. So contrary, ergo so wonderful and useful a target.    'Why' answered? Not really.            

The same illogical, so soul satisfying freedom to shout and misbehave in public, even outrageously to give vent to formerly stifled feelings, to wallow in the filth now deemed acceptable, desired, oh, such a feeling! It easily transfers then from the individual Jew to the Jews of a larger group - Israel and those who support it.  So offensive is their determination to have their own homeland of ancient verity. Nevertheless, they are not entitled, becomes the rant, exterminations the solution. Again, yet again, Boring, yet so emphatically dangerous.  Brutal violence wreaked upon it and its citizens is cheered and celebrated. Allies turn away as Israel fights back, determined for once and for all to defeat this poison, even as Hamas ensconces itself among the civilians, all the better to dirty up Israel. Even as 'innocent' civilians, rare as hen's teeth, the same ones who cheered the parade of captives, cheered the bloody clothing, the raped, the weeping children, the staggering elderly, the wounded young adults, the terrified mother clinging to her two little boys.

Very rarely are these hostages, dying every day spoken of save among Israelis, their families, the horrified of the world. Too many speak only of guilty murderers to be freed to do it all over again.  We read of the desertion of allies who are incensed when Israel refuses to fall upon its sword.     We read of the pressure exerted on Israel, to cede control to other countries. To have an 'election' but it had better turn out 'right', the 'or else' clearly written above.  

Well, no more why. No more. Israel is entitled to do as it must. The rest be damned. Once again, the world stands silently by or speaks out of the other side of a twisted mouth, and Jews die. 

     No More.  Why. No More. 

We live, we die, according to our plans and our needs. We have the right to be a nation, independent, with the right to defend itself.  

NO  MORE  WHY. NO  MORE.

Yitzy, even as I rage at the demands for why, the necessity to answer as our kids ask why, I, we. will never stop asking why, why you had to leave us, be taken from us. Why, is what I will never understand, never forgive nor forget, despite all who try to answer. There is no answer to this why even as there is no answer to the why of hatred.

Always with us, sweet boy.

Always and forever. Always and forever.
