Losing Confidence In The World

I was sitting in the back of the Uber driver’s car as he was listening to rap music and then to my shock and horror, I heard (he should stay in hell) Hitler’s voice. I felt sick. I asked the Uber driver what he was listening to and he nonchalantly said ‘’Ye’s new song. He is so Fuckin’ Brilliant.’’ I wanted to puke and couldn’t wait to get out of the vehicle and get home. I told the driver to stop about five doors away from my house. ‘’I guess I somehow put the wrong address in when I ordered the Uber.’’ He replied by bobbing his head up and down listening to Kanye West. I got out of the car and waited till he drove off before heading into the safe confines of my home. I didn’t want the guy to know where I really lived. It was a terrifying feeling being in that car with a Nazi lover. Ye has publicly declared he’s a Nazi and his followers seem to like it. It’s not good.

Once inside the house I turned on the news and instead of focusing on diabolical tyrants the news was obsessed with Israel. A pregnant Jewish woman, mother of three children had been killed by a militant on the way to a hospital to give birth. They couldn’t even report that an innocent Mother had been brutally killed by a Terrorist not a militant but a Terrorist. They couldn’t call a sadistic murderer a terrorist. They couldn’t call Israel, Israel but instead it was ‘’the occupied West Bank.’’ Hamas was celebrating.

Speaking of Hamanazis, they are still holding twenty four living hostages in Gaza. They have the bodies of thirty five others. These were young Jewish people abducted from a music festival. The Red Cross never visited one of them. The news media never really mentions this, they are to busy inflating deaths in Gaza caused by Israel. They never blame Hamanazis for hiding out in civilian populations. I’m confident it won’t be long before Ye writes and raps a song about how great the Hamanazis are.

I went to the internet to read the news, trying to escape the Anti-Jewish sentiments and the hate I was seeing on-air when I watched a clip of a protest in England calling for the Jews to get out. Who the hell were these assholes yelling for the Jews to get out of their own country. What gives them the right. Where are the Police and Government officials. Their silence is complicity.

I turned everything off and decided to take a long hot shower. I was about to get in when my phone rang. It was a friend almost crying. His fifteen year old daughter had been seeing a non-Jewish guy who assaulted her. The boyfriend called her all kinds of horrible names and physically slapped her and hit her. My friend asked my opinion on what he should do, should he go find the kid and beat the shit out of him? I felt tired. I asked if he thought anti-semitism was involved and he said yes and I felt deflated and angry. Why had his daughter gone out with the kid? Had she not been aware he was an idiot. I told him to call the Police and tell them what happened. Let the kid be formally charged and have a record. No person has the right to assault another person. It was vile. I hung up feeling exhausted. I’m sure Ye will write and rap a song praising the kind of cockroaches who beat up Jewish girls, it’s very Naziish.

I wanted to find something good to feel good about. I took my shower and thought about the world today and came to the conclusion it is simply a case of history repeating itself. The Jews have had to deal with things like the Inquisition, Pogroms, Nazis and the Holocaust and we’re still here Maybe we survive and thrive because we recognize who our enemies are and defeat them in different ways. Maybe the good news is we will never retreat or surrender from who we are. Maybe the good news is we aren’t those low life's who try to cause us grief. Maybe the good news is that we are fifteen million out of eleven billion people in the world and we flourish under all conditions.

It is easy to focus on the negative because the Anti-Semitism genie is out of the bottle. It is our job to not let that Genie ruin our lives. It is tough but the will to live, love and enjoy is stronger than ever. So fuck all those who hate us including Ye the Nazi. They will never defeat us or stop us from loving life. That’s part of what being Jewish is all about. We love with our heart and souls and nobody can take that away from us, not even hateful Rappers like that sick minded Nazi Lover Ye.
