...My Jewish Mother, camp survivor, said to me, when I was a child, The only happy people, are the one's in the nut house. Must of meant ,medication, or the whole world, one big nut house. I always remember our 5773 calendar, and compare this lengthy History to our Population. Christians, 2013, almost 2 Billion. Muslims 1486 approx. 1.3 Billion people, But JEWS, 14 million, after all these years only a few,people, compared to others with less than half our historical Time. People need to understand this perspective. James Carroll, wrote, Constantine's SWORD a extremely well researched book, and I cried on every page, the numbers, population, kept sneaking into my mind, Anger came and yet I am a Happy Jew, never being treated by Nazis, Communists, hunger, constant , fear that they took to the grave. That lifelong fear was,is, contagious in all of us, that knock on the door has now crept into America with the NDAA. Israel always at war, Jews always Angry, Yes WE are what the world made us and MORE. I want to concentrate on the MORE, Time BEFORE the FEAR, trying to remember who we are. Thanks ... ISRAEL a HAPPY people.FINALLY,maybe. Does Never AGAIN, come from a happy time place, it does sound happy to me.
