Actually Miriam, what I believe is that there is an undercurrent of
hatred and mistrust toward Jews, by the Privileged White Racists, and
of their sycophants,
At times the window dressing is different, and often it is
deliberately misleading. but it seems to me that so many times, those
in power use suspicion and hatred as tools in managing the people
beneath them. Jews have been a favorite target since Adam and Eve
were kicked out of the Garden of Eden, setting the tone for the
treatment of Jews down through the centuries.
Some years ago a Seattle attorney whose last name was Goldmark, was
murdered along with his wife and two children. The murderer was
apprehended and confessed that he hated Jews. The Goldmarks were not
Jews.
I have tons to say on the subject, mostly conjecture on my part, but I
am about to have an early supper and listen to a murder novel to relax
my mind(grin).

yours
Miriam, your approach seems to be honest and rather intriguing. I actually
am interested to learn more about your experience. How has this started?
What made you believe in the statehood of Israel and what was the shifting
point that led you to dispose of it?
I was about ten years old when Israel was created. Everyone in my family
believed that having a Jewish State was a wonderful thing because Jews had
been hated and discriminated against for so long and because 6 million Jews
were exterminated in Nazi death camps. Everyone believed that we needed a
place to which to escape, the next time another country began doing what the
Nazis had done. The people in my family believed the Zionist propaganda
which stated that the Palestinians were all uneducated Nomads. They never
called them Palestinians. They called them, "Arabs". They thought that they
could easily live in the surrounding Arab countries. I was just a child. I
absorbed all of that. But I grew up. I went to college and graduate school.
I read a lot. I am an independent thinker. And I have always been concerned
about groups of people who are mistreated like African Americans and Native
Americans, and poor people.
I tend to question everything. I never practiced the Jewish religion, but I
absorbed the values and tradition. Here in the US, Jewish people have always
been involved in social justice movements. They were active in the labor
movement and in the civil rights movement. They ran excellent social welfare
agencies. I've always identified with that part of Jewish tradition.
In my work, I met people who had lived in Israel and who had visited Israel,
and they described it to me. That was in the 1980's. I realized that Israel
was very different from the way it had been described by the media and in
the books I read. And then there was that massacre of Palestinians in a
refugee camp in 1982 in which the Israelis were involved. One of my clients
had lived in Israel for a time and she also wrote a novel about it. I
realized, from talking to her and reading her book, that the Palestinians
who were Israeli citizens, did not have equal rights with Jewish Israelis.
In the 1990's, I thought that the two state solution might be the right
idea. But in the mid 1990's, I got a computer and that allowed me to read a
lot more. After the US attacked Iraq in 2003, I began to see that the people
in the US government who supported Israel, were supporting much of what the
US was doing in the Middle East and all of it was wrong. And then I read a
book by an Israeli historian called The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. I
watched what Israel did to Gaza at the end of 2008. I joined an Israeli
email list which was opposed to Israeli policy. My whole view of Israel and
Palestine had changed by 2008.
It isn’t something typical for someone from Jewish background who lives in
America to dissent with Israel and its brutal practices in Palestine.
Among American Jews, there are a variety of opinions. Probably, a majority
of older people still support Israel, but not all of them do. After all, I'm
going to be 82 years old, and I do not. Among the younger Jews, a large
number have begun to question Jewish support of Israel. There are several
very active anti Zionist Jewish groups in the US and Canada. The young
people are reacting to the crimes that Israel is committing.
Do you think that the Nazi persecution in Europe was the key factor by which
Jews have been urged to seek a new land?
Yes, that was the impetus. But in the late nineteenth century, Jews also
emigrated to Palestine because of European antisemitism. Most of them were
secular Jews, but they chose Palestine because of the fact that Jews came
from there originally.
And, to the settlers in the occupied West Bank, what have made them able to
remain in perhaps the most litigious region on earth
I can't explain these people. They are very religious and very assertive.
Many of them came from Russia where they had very little and felt unwanted,
so now that they emigrated to Israel, they want to assert Israeli rights
over the land. It makes them feel important. The more educated Jews of
European background, tend to live in Israel , not the West Bank, and they
have favored status. They are the elite, and therefore, they don't have a
need to bully people openly.
? Carl, your experience back then has given me an idea how Jews were
maltreated. Is that why their star is so high now in America? Do European
Christians feel somewhat guilty toward Jews that they react tolerantly
toward their enormous atrocities perpetrated in Palestine? I am attempting
to fathom and somehow connect the puzzle. How in the past, Christians used
to despise and persecute Jews and as of right now, they’re their closest
ally. How has this unfolded? They chased them in Europe and then, helped
them establish a homeland in Palestine. What has changed after the second
world war? I hope I could discern.
I'm not Carl, but I'll answer. It is Evangelical Christians who are strongly
supporting Israel. But not because they have suddenly valued Jews. Israel
fits into their fantasy of "The End Times". They need Issrael to exist in
order for the chosen to rise to heaven. The Jews will be discarded, along
with everyone else who isn't "saved".
Following up your last point, how could the two states solution be applied?
And about those were born there, they knew they reside in an occupied
territory, even if they attempt to justify and even legitimise their
colonisation.

Mustafa,
There's one point that you made, with which I don't agree. You said
that all of the Jews living in Israel should return to the countries
from which they came. But the fact is that most of the people who live
in Israel, were born there or have made it their permanent home. They
don't have homes to which to return. I think that we have to accept
that Israel exists. But what should happen, is that it should be
changed. It should no longer be a Jewish State. It should be
Israel/Palestine, a democratic country with no walls, no barriers, and
where everyone, Jew, Muslim, Christian, member of any other religion,
and non believer, should be equal with an equal vote. The government
should not be aligned with any particular religion. All of the
Palestinians, living in the diaspora, should be allowed to return, if they
wish to.

Mustafa,
I agree with what you say about Israel. And there are many Jews who
also agree with you. And no, I have no relatives living in Israel. But
I want to explain to you that it took me many years to understand the
truth about Israel. And learning the truth and changing what I
believed and what I had thought to be true, was a very painful
process. Jews were traumatized by what happened to Jews in Europe
during the second world war. And they were lied to by the media and by
their governments, about Israel. Additionally, it wasn't until
recently that we have all learned the truth about the Zionist project
to take over all of Palestine. That project existed since the early
1930's, but it was kept a secret. So what I'm saying is that Jewish
people were manipulated, as were Americans, who were taught that
Israel is a democratic country and an ally whom they should support.
That lie has torn the Middle East apart and it has turned America into
an autocracy with a democratic façade. But then, most governments lie
to their people, manipulate them, and use them in order to gain power in
relation to other countries.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Re: my random thoughts versus yours
Well Miriam, I think many Jews around the world have been trapped into
the deceitful notion, that Israel is presumptively the ideal solution
for mass Jewish persecution. I watched various television series,
featuring tales about Egyptian Jews whom had been beguiled to
immigrate to Israel. Laila Mourad is a popularly distinct Egyptian
vocalist and actress from Jewish background. Many including myself
still love her songs and movies. I want to ask you, do you have
relatives who live in Israel? If so, what’s their experience? Have you
ever considered settling their yourself? In my opinion, the problem of
Israel, beyond territory occupation, is the fact that each and
everyone therein is forcefully a soldier in the army. Furthermore,
they constantly build walls, establish settlements while backed by the
US. They do so because they knew they hooked this land. Thence, they are
somewhat coerced to pestilently confront their victim everyday.
Furthermore, I noticed the construction of the separation wall or
barrier into the West Bank has substantially been accelerated. So, I
believe that the major crisis has been evidently misidentified. The
two states solution isn’t practical at all. Jews ought to redress the
situation and consistently retrovert to where they were originally
from. Otherwise, the conflict shall remain, probably will heighten and
it won’t ever be solved. The idea of Israel has instigated Arabs to
react vindictively. Jews are despised for viciously playing the victim
role while they relentlessly sabotage and subjugate innocently
civilian Palestinians periodically. Peace talks aren’t expected to be
of any significance if they’re conducted unilaterally. In addition,
Antisemitism verboten has to be utterly revoked. People must be able
to freely criticise what Israel does without being threatened of
losing their job or getting their reputation dreadfully ruined. That’s
why, the New York Times has been scandalously coerced to submissively
apologise for portraying a political satire. Nonetheless, when a
Danish magazine drew an offensive caricature of prophet Muhammad, it
hasn’t been compeled to apologise nor even demanded to. The subject is
essentially complected. For sure, Jews are two holy to be criticised
in the west, that’s a fact. At the same time, we aren’t suppose to
biasedly generalise. I’d hope that Jews recognise what the problem really
is and attempt to solve it themselves.
Even those who may not necessarily agree with what Israel does, aren’t
enacting their proposition properly or proceeding it gradually into
the legal arena.
For the United States, Israel is quite sanctimonious. How many time
Israeli war criminals who intently perpetrated white phosphorus
against innocent civilians of Gaza have been brought to justice? How
many time the US sternly vetoed a resolution issued by the UN that is
destined to push peace process forward for the sake of Israel? How
many time Israel’s secret nuclear arsenal has been probed nor even
oppugned? The west and the States in particular must develop the
motivating factor by which they could devotedly interrogate about what
Israel does on that regard. If the States truly cares about
establishing genuine peace in the Middle East, it must quit arming
Israel and start negotiating the proposed departure deal. What a
Jewish of Russian background has got to do with Palestine? I think what I
say makes sense, quite so far. Your opinion Miriam?

Mustafa,
Most people of my generation and previous generation who come from
Jewish backgrounds, experienced antisemitism at some time in their
lives. That is the reason that so many of us supported the creation
of the State of Israel.
Because of centuries of antisemitism and then the Nazis' persecution
of the Jews, they thought that a country, dedicated to Jewish people,
would protect them in the future. Not all Jews felt that way, but
after the second world war, many did. And we were kept ignorant of
all the details of what was done in order to create Israel. American
Jews, at least most of them, believed that by now, at least in the
US, anti-semitism had disappeared. But after the election of Donald
Trump to the Presidency, anti-semitism, which has been pretty much
hidden for decades here, is now apparent again.
But I don't think about it as religious discrimination. What I think
is that when people, any people, have been taught that their race or
their religion or their country is superior to everyone else's,
there's always a potential for them to turn on other people who are
different from them. If they are feeling frightened about their own
security, it's very easy for people in leadership positions to turn
them against other people.

Weather? When I was young, in New York, June was sunny and warm.
July was sunny and hot. August was muggy, sometimes rainy, sometimes
sunny, until the end when we would have one or two cooler sunny days
to remind us that autumn was on the way. It has been hot and muggy
for days now. We've had some rain and some thunder. Back in the old
days, thunder storms were reserved for the end of July and August.
Today is cloudy, hot and muggy, with rainstorms forecast for the
afternoon.
Car trips. We were working class city people with no real need for a
car because New York City had good, inexpensive, public
transportation. But when I was nine or ten years old, my father
bought a car. The first one was a Chevrolet. The color was crystal
green and my very fashion conscious mother just loved that color.
Each summer, we would travel by car to Montreal to visit my father's
family. It would be a slow, rambling trip up through New York State
with stops at various tourist attractions like Niagara Falls, and
back home through New England. There was a wonderful restaurant
called, The Springs, somewhere in Massachusetts, that we stumbled on
one year and where we made sure to return each year. Two of my
father's brothers had also emigrated from Canada to the US and one
year, one of them, with his wife and son, traveled back to Montreal
with us. No rambling that time, just one or two very long days of
riding in a car. But that was the year, I think, that after we
visited the family in Montreal, we traveled to the Mountains in
Quebec Province for vacation. But we couldn't find a hotel because
no one would allow Jews. One place said we could stay in a cabin,
but we weren't allowed in the dining room.
So we kept riding. And then we saw a beautiful hotel on an island in
the middle of a lake. We were sure that since it looked so fancy, we
would surely be excluded from there too, but we thought we'd try
anyway.
Luckily, the owner was Jewish. We were allowed in and absolutely
loved our stay there.

Hi Miriam...and anyone else still recovering from the Fourth of July.
Rereading is probably more related to temperate, as you say, rather
than age related. But I wonder how it is that you continue to
read...or at least skim my posts, since redundancy is my middle name.
I always figured that I just had a limited vocabulary. Not like our
friend in Egypt!
It's Saturday, July Sixth, and it's raining. All night it rained.
20%, the weather person said. Well Mister/Missus Weather person, we
got 20% five times! It reminds me of the many times we put the four
man surplus Army tent in the trunk of our old Hudson, called the
Family Bus, and tossed in some food and sleeping bedding, and headed
out on a sort of sunny July Fourth, looking to commune with Nature.
Sometimes we drove down the Coast into Oregon and sometimes we
headed up toward Bellingham. I liked it best when we turned the
Family Bus toward the East, and wound up at grandma and grandpa's
farm in the Spokane Valley. No sleeping on lumpy rocks at
grandma's. Sure, the beds were old and lumpy and sagged to the
middle, but it was dry and hot and beat the rain that was falling on the
Coast.
It seemed to always rain over Fourth of July weekend. Come to think
of it, it always seemed to rain on Memorial Day weekend...and Labor
Day weekend, too. And it was always a fine, soaking rain. Mother
called it, "Oregon Mist". Then she would add, "It mist Oregon and
hit Washington".
Something I learned early on...well, a couple of things, was that
Four Man Army Surplus Tents are made to accommodate three undersized
soldiers. We had two fairly large adults and three varying sizes of
children. Crowded was a bad joke. It was impossible to crawl out
over sleeping bodies if you had to go out in the middle of the
night...and there was only one compelling reason anyone in their
right mind would crawl out of the safety of that four man tent, into
the wet, clammy, very dark night. And the other important thing I
learned about canvas tents and rain, Do Not Touch the Canvas when it
is raining. Mother and Dad told us this warning every time we
headed out...in the rain. You would think that the first time we
disobeyed them, we would never touch the tent's canvas roof. As
soon as a stray finger explored the tents surface, a drop of water would
form.
And there was no way to put it back. It would draw more water into
itself and then drop...splat!
And another drop would form...
This foolishness always happened, but always over my sisters or myself.
Never, ever did anyone touch the tent above our parents.
They slept warm and dry while us three kids wiggled and squirmed
while trying to avoid the drips.
One time we found a beautiful valley in Western Oregon, accessible
only by a couple of ruts that went straight down the edge of a high
rock wall and a steep drop off on the other side. We pitched...or
actually we struggled the tent into an upright position and then
began slapping our arms and necks.
We saw no mosquitoes, but little welts began rising up on our
exposed skin.
"No See ums'!" my dad announced.
"You can't see them because all there is to them are teeth with wings".
After we tired of slapping, we hauled down the tent and crawled back
up that rutty road with the windows all rolled up. That was another
joy in summer camping trips. Old 1938 Hudson's were roomy, but air
conditioning was available only by cranking down the windows. One
trip through Roseburg, Oregon it was 105 degrees, with that hot sun
beating down on an all metal car. That trip we had five adults and
Mimi, our small family dog of many breeds.
Poor Mimi, she hated long trips, but had to go because she had
bonded with Mother. She always threw up within the first hour.
Then she was fine for the rest of the outing, no matter how many
days we were gone.
That is when Mimi became "Our dog", meaning my sister's and mine.
We got to clean the pukey newspaper out of her box and toss the
stinking mess into a waste barrel when we stopped for gas...or had
to put water in our boiling radiator...or add air to our soft tires.
You would think that such memories would guarantee that I would live
deep in the heart of a large city. But something about heading into
the unknown moved my heart and Soul...and moved us finally to our
ten acre horse farm in the wilds of the Great Olympic
Peninsula...where I've never met a tree I didn't like.

Miriam,
It's one of those subtle signs that I'm getting long in the tooth.
I used to read or listen to information, or read a novel, and never
dream of wasting my time reading or listening to it again...ever!
But in recent years I find myself listening to the same articles or
the same speakers, and actually learning new information...again.
I'm sure that this relaxing of my mental process is not the only
indication of the aging process, but being blind, I never worry
about what would stare back at me from my mirror.
I do chuckle when Cathy and I return home after working with two
clients, and we can barely stagger into our recliners. When we
began back in 1995, we saw two clients in the morning and two
clients following lunch. And we worked five days a week in the
field, not just Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and we wrote our
reports in the late evening.
If I kept that sort of schedule today, I'd last about one day...and
no reports would ever be written.
By the way, I read A People's History of the United States, twice.
