it's a sad tale indeed and with or without exageration a terrible curse was inflicted on the jews of europe, with almost none of them who suffered having done a damned thing but being born, or at least believing or led to believe they were "jewish"...but with that and for all the legend and myth piled on top of actual pain and misery, the cry "where are all the jews" is a rather subjective one and just plays into the notion - false! - that this particular tragedy was the worst thing to ever happen to anyone....sorry but that just isn't true and not by a light year in miles...
where are the jews? well there are plenty of them all over the world, even with the death of so many in europe...we - americans- would do better to ask:
where are the indians?
really, where the fuck did they go? this nation, this continent and the other one we call "south" were populated by untold numbers of indians, with no estimate entertained in popular knowledge as to how many were obliterated, ethnically cleansed, sent to concentration camps we made sound like they were going to dinner " i have a reservation for two thousand - would you like something in the fucking valley or near the sewer?"...
seriously, it is disgusting that we can endlessly hear about one tragedy for which we as a people have little responsibility and far less guilt, while the real genocide, to use that overused word, took place right here and is visible to this day in wretched reservations where the lowest economic and social order of the usa exists and for which there isn't a fucking tear shed or real social acknowledgment or retribution payment made...
i know they just had a land case settlement of big bucks long overdue for a handful of "survivors" and have a few casinos but big shit, and the boards of directors of those things, rest assured, have many a kelly, mastrangelo and cohen for sure and have big whitey with his hands in the til...but crap about "where are the jews" doesn't fill my heart with sadness because i was born on a goddamned island that was once populated by nothing but indians and in my life i have never ever known a single indian but have always known, been friendly with and often loved- never as i do my renee - plenty of jews...
and that has been the case wherever i;ve lived or been in america...washington dc, san francisco, marin county, the east bay...indians once lived in these places and where the fuck are they? now? plenty of jewish friends, loves , acquaintances and sometimes enemies but not one fucking indian, ever, not one in my experience!
seen em on tv and read about them but never ever had a social interaction with an indian...and how many of our 300 million have? and how many have known or dealt with people calling themselves jewish? gimme a fuckin break!
and don't get me started on the atrocity of slavery which is second only to the indians...
aaarrrgghh...and grrrrrrrr
sorry to vent but this just pisses me off...
