The woman who made this statement came from a beleaguered and embattled county in a state with similar descriptive terms. It is an embarrassment before the world that this nation should have entire swaths of areas where children and families go hungry. Where one is not assured of having food. milk and clean water, any water, in fact available for them. These necessities for life are, for most of the rest of us, taken for granted.
Money that has been promised to them, to help them get back up on their feet, has been denied to them - courtesy of this Trump administration. Evidently it is far more important to pave over gardens, shred public buildings and institutions, and build totally out of place ballrooms and pay for multi-flights to the monstrosity of his Mar a Lago monstrosity, where he can act as the Lord of the fiefdom and play golf at a course where somehow he always manages to beat his golf partners!
This woman, so tired in her endeavors, asked, stated, that "there must be a rainbow somewhere. I am not so sure about that. Even if there were to be a rainbow someplace in the sky. The odds tell us that this would be a rainbow. of broken colors and an empty pot at its end, for the gold will have long ago been stolen. It will have gone into private deep pockets rather than public funds, where if managed properly could better life for so many. We could teach how to fish rather than throw the fish at them. We could do so much if only we managed to recover our hearts. And souls. And set aside our selfishness. And the more, more and more philosophy which has engulfed us. Much to the detriment of all the peoples of this besieged world.
Instead, we engage in make believe. We spout empty, meaningless words and phrases, vocal renditions which are too often suffused with hate and encouragement and praise for violence. It has become almost a rite of passage these days, with the stock response is a hypocritical five minutes of sorrow by the powers that be. small meaningless words of "thoughts and prayers", promises to do better, and then the status quo remains or even worsens. There are no consequences which matter, so why the hell not? Feed your desires. Go ahead and kill someone, many someones. then promise that it will happen again.
Our values are skewed. We have tossed out much of the benefits of mankind's progress through the centuries. Kept too much of that which leads to dark roads. Of enmity. Of hatred berserk. And of no limit, no borders. We have focused on, made our target out of those who differ from us. In any which way for it matters not. We simply pick up a thread, elongate and thicken it, creating an ugly false depiction of a reality that is not actually there. Over the centuries, even as we have gone off target for a time, we always remained true and loyal to the main road of hate. Always to return to it. With ever greater vigor and determination to take it to the next step. That is JewHatred. That acidic form of violence, hate that apparently has grown ever more powerful and toxic over the millennia.
This morning, approximately seven men in two cars were headed to Bondi Beach for a replay. Over in Israel soldiers of elite unites are working with the civilians of the bloodied Kibutzim and Moshavim, so close to the border. Teaching them how to better be able to defend their families, their friends, themselves until the army reaches their location. How not to be taken by surprise. How to fight so that they might live.
Australia and the US have envoys to the world to combat anti Semitism. What a pathetic joke that is. Even if words of advice were able to reach a level of possibility it never goes further than that. The world is too busy with their ugly games of life. Those games which mean limitations, repression and suppression of others. It leads to headlines of threats. Of curses aimed at a Muslim who stepped in to stop the slaughter of more Jews. It leads to calcification of the mind, of the channels in the brain, along with a consistent and insistent education of twisted propaganda. To be found in the texts of any and all of the nations of Muslim faith.
Left alone out there on the ledge, Israel and Jewish people around the world have come to understand, finally, that no one is coming to their rescue. We must be the defenders of ourselves. We must ignore all the tsk, tsk words emanating from the false mouths and tongues. We must learn to truly know. within every atom of our body, that we can depend on no one else but ourselves. Today we have this friend, but tomorrow we have that enemy. Even the "friends" are profuse with their threats and advice. all inimical to our survival.
Many articles have been written re these constant attacks, growing, ever more vicious, this warfare waged upon the Jewish nation. We have been told to ignore the awful pictures and videos of the hostages and discount the truth of their appearances and the manner in which they were held as victims. Of the sight of them as they came out from those tunnels. But all we heard were falsehoods and whining re the prisoners, the captured terrorists held in Israel. Next time perhaps we can pursue equivalency and proof of that by the heretofore useless IRC?
We read in the papers many opinions and. essays which bring tears to the eyes of the reader. The emotion is deep. The emotion is intense. And the emotion never leaves us. All that is well and good. But it does not give us what we need. What we need is truth and honesty from the outside world. What we need is a decision and action to stop this JewHatred in its tracks, to take whatever steps necessary to do so. What we need is to be given fair treatment, allowed to defend ourselves wherever and whenever, and however and not be held to ridiculous "proportionate" statistics. That is not the ways are fought or won.
However. That will never happen.
I don't know why this is so. I believe in trying to find explanation we are going in the wrong direction as it gives validity to this ugliness and the falsehoods engaged and manufactured so as to mesh with the falsehood of the "Palestinian" story. All so as to provide weight to their claims, false, as to their ties to this land. Manifestly false.
When one holds their story up to the sun one can see the holes in their false provenance. The term Palestinians is a skewed version of Philistines, an ancient and extinct enemy of the Israelites, reintroduced by the British in their mandate over Israel. Current day 'Palestinians' are simply Arabs. Who live in the nation of Israel. With all the same rights, all the same privileges, all the same responsibilities, all the same taxes.
Those who now call themselves Palestinians are either those few descended from Arabs who lived in this area alongside Jews who remained on this land. or those from elsewhere in the region. Those who came and/or were sent here to better the fortunes of their masters. What we do have today, are our Israeli Arabs who work in every field of the nation. At every level. Who can vote. And be elected and hold office, hold army positions.
What we have today is a bunch of lies which the world as usual has chosen as truth. They have glommed onto hate mongers and spoilers of all that is good, that is possible in this world.
Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
When will we be able to look back? And wonder at how stupid, how foolish we were. Would that not be a wonderful tomorrow?
Where are our rainbows?
