But it's always been something of a puzzle to me how the Jews have "gotten it in the neck" throughout much of European history in the intervening 2600 years -- one pogrom and genocide after another. Some reasons there, methinks, that gives weight to the argument that the World more or less owes the Jews a homeland of their own:
I am so, so sad that SO MANY cannot see and are participating in repeating history. I am old and will probably be gone; but my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren...I just keep talking with them, praying with them, and beseeching them to not let hatred win ššš
No, antizionism and antisemitism are NOT the same.
I don't know who these people on the bikes are, as this behavior has no resemblance to what I experienced in the Palestine solidarity movement 20 years ago. My guess is that they are Antifa/extreme leftists and these people do not represent the Palestinians. I am sure none of them have ever been to Palestine and no activist I know would be caught dead in this type of action.
I hope you're not going to try to tell me I don't understand Kristallnacht/Nazism etc. I'm half Jewish and 62 years old and my undergrad major was Modern European history.
It's offensive that you're trying to conflate Abdul El Sayed with a bunch of hooligans attacking Jewish restaurants.
Can't say that I've delved much into Jewish history, though I've run across tales of the Babylonian captivity, circa 600 BCE:

There are none so blind as they who will not see. Godspeed ScarletM
Do you have an argument to make?
Yes but not to someone who has no ears to hear, nor eyes to see. I will pray for ScarletM that she will be delivered before it is too late.
Keep praying. Maybe it will help keep you out of trouble.
