Blame it on the Jews
Israel is getting drummed from all sides for its embargo against the Gaza Strip. The entire world is standing on its soap box and telling them they are horrible and they need to do better. Meanwhile, in the U.S., we have an embargo on Cuba, where some of my family still live in dire poverty conditions – but no one is standing on the soap box pointing a finger now are they? And borders, what about Arizona – stop and search at police discretion – are you kidding me?
Imagine all the people living life as one. You might say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. But I digress.
The New York Times recently had an interesting review by Harold Bloom of antisemitism as it crops up in British literature. I have to say that Israel’s response is always paranoid and defensive – and maybe it has good reason. But at this point in world history maybe its time to move past the fact that Gaza houses Hamas whose pure intention and cited M.O. is to destroy Israel and its people and just let them get the aid. And so what if if a few rockets and bombs get sent in under the toothbrushes and cans of tuna fish?
Oy vey.
