Reading Ms Esmans' article made me angry...not because i disagree w/it...on the contrary, i find it appallingly true. The image of the fearful and cowering Jew one gets from the quotes in her article are so reminiscent of the descriptions of Jews in holocaust Europe...hiding the magen david, removing all signs of Jewish orthodoxy i.e. removing one's kippah after synagogue, skulking in the crevices of darkness to avoid being seen lest one be attacked...many Jews once thought that the creation of Israel had erased that image...but the fascist propaganda of the palestinians and their fellow travelers on both the left and right have become more successful than anyone could have imagined. The aura of the brave and gallant Israeli has not covered the European, African or Arab Jew. Two millennia of slaughter and the holocaust has yet to earn the Jew the right to live in peace and safety...young muslim teenager and youths have no qualms spitting on, throwing rocks at or otherwise attacking those perceived as Jews...just as was common in the days of the pact of Umar a thousand years ago...neither fear nor concern enters their hearts as they curse the Jew....and the Jewish response is to "beg" the gentile authorities to protect them from such hooliganism. The picture one gets from Ms Esman's article and the scores of others like it that are the daily fare of the internet blogoshpere is again the whimpering Jew, afraid to stand and fight on his/her own. Have we learned nothing in 2 millennia?.. "Sally" recognizes that Jews need to learn to protect themselves...yet one must ask the question,...why isn't it obvious to all the Jews outside of Israel(and even there, many Jews cannot defend themselves...they beseech the gov't to do something)? Why isn't every Jewish mother and father training or having their childred trained to defend themselves? Why do we always think that the gentile world will somehow care about us more than we care about ourselves? If we are not willing to stand and fight for ourselves...who will? We know the answer...in the end..no one. We are all going to die...no one gets out of this life alive....wouldn't it be better to walk "free" w/o fear in the light of day, then to have to hide who we are...only able to reveal ourselves in the shadows? Apparently to the Danny Pinto's knowing where the exits are, are their only choice..How sad that we seem to believe that being physically alive is enough....
