Oy Vey
Well, now we’re in for it. As if it wasn’t enough that Jews will be blamed whoever wins the election, it has now been discerned via DNA that Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew. Another crime to lay at our already scorched feet, the raping of North and South America.
Ah, Columbus Day, whither have you gone? Now it’s Indigenous People’s Day. But not on Columbus Day, which used to be October 12. Now it’s October 14 or whatever the first Monday is after Columbus Day so there can be a Federal holiday, no mail, not that there’s any mail to speak of anymore anyway.
Just think of what the world would be like if Columbus hadn’t sailed the ocean blue in 1492. The Aztecs would still be ripping hearts out, the Incas would still have their human sacrifices. Or perhaps we would be celebrating John Cabot Day or Amerigo Vespucci Day. Since John Cabot’s real name was Giovanni Caboto, we could blame the despoiling of the Americas on the Italians. Couldn’t we?
But no, it always has to be a Jew behind all our problems. According to way too many people, who need someone to persecute and it’s always us. Haven’t we suffered enough? Enough with the calumny please!
For the uneducated, and this includes 99 percent of those protesting on college campuses, let me just point out that Jews come in all sizes and colors and genders. We are not white colonialists, as are so many of your ancestors. We were slaves in the land of Egypt. Are we asking for reparations? No. Just leave us the hell alone so we can live and prosper in our own lives.
But for some reason that seems to be an impossibility. Take October 7, for example, when Jews were raped, slaughtered, burned in their own homes, kidnapped at a music festival, driving their cars, walking in the streets. Well, who’s fault was that? Not Hamas’s. Don’t they have every right to kill anyone they want as they are so oppressed? So obviously, October 7 was the fault of the Jews for the simple reason that they exist in their own land.
But isn’t it totally expected that people going about their own lives should be attacked and killed and/or taken hostage? And totally justifiable? Like, if you’re walking down the street and you have on an expensive watch or are talking on your iPhone or don’t have your purse secured to your body, isn’t it your fault if you’re mugged and robbed. And if you’re not wearing a burka, isn’t it your fault that you’re raped? After all, whose territory are you occupying?
So like Israel going to the UN, you might go to the police and the police will say, well, it’s your fault. You exist. Therefore de facto, you’re guilty. Let’s wipe you off the face of the earth and everyone would be so much happier.
But then, who would you have to hate?
