Standing Together |
Jewish Brethren Awake! We
as a people say “Never, Never Again” when it comes to the
Holocaust. Have
we so soon forgotten? When
listening to what some of our “brethren” are doing and thinking I realize that they have
forgotten. We are
allegedly the chosen people, the people of the book, the
bright ones, the educated ones.
Where is our intelligence when we form groups such as
Jews for Obama? When
we give our hard earned resources to people who seek to
destroy us? When
we keep still when we are denounced by our enemies and join
and agree with them? When
we have no self respect?
When we join such groups as “Jews for Jesus”? We
have brainwashed ourselves and believe such diatribes that our
daughters are “J. A. P. S., that gentile girls make much
better wives and that our men are money grubbing greedy
capitalists who are likened to Shakespeare’s (antisemite’s)
Shylock? Do we not recall when two
bright young Jewish men in an attempt to help the black
population joined the group of Afro Americans in the March on
Mississippi during the civil rights marches?
Do you remember that these boys were killed, had given
their lives for social justice and do you also remember they
were soon forgotten by the black population and shortly
thereafter were not only minimized but their deeds ignored as
if they had never existed?
How about the Jews who admire Farrakhan, the black
leader who curses us and would destroy us if he somehow could.
How about Jessie Jackson, who calls New York “Hymie
Town” alluding to the city in which our fellow religionists
reside?
What is it that
makes us so blind, so self destructive that we turn against
ourselves? Do we
want to join our opponents because they seem to be stronger
than we are? Why
do we marry outside of our religion - to lose our hated
minority status? Do
we want to be unique and view ourselves as we believe
outsiders view us? Are
we so afraid of our opponents that we want to disappear, never
to be persecuted again? Very recently, namely in
March of 2008, I heard a prominent announcer on the radio
station, when speaking to an attorney with an obviously Irish
name, refer to a trial in which a Jewish attorney is the
spokesman for a defendant in an important trial. The announcer
asked the gentile lawyer derisively
on the radio whether now that the criminal case has
been settled, and the civil case has begun, is “one of those
Jew attorneys” a
member in his law firm. When the Irishman firmly stated that
the Jew is not, the announcer said that people hire Jews to be
their defenders because of their conniving natures.
Why don’t these hatemongers, these anti-semites, ever
mention well known famous Jews like Albert Einstein, Jonas
Salk, Irving Berlin and a host of many well known inventors,
composers, philanthropists, etc. as examples? We as Jews must reinforce
all the good that we have achieved and what we have
accomplished for all of humanity. We must stand together as a
people, for our people and for the good of all of humanity! Lehitraot. Dr. Ursula A. Falk is a psychotherapist in private practice and the co-author, with Dr. Gerhard Falk, of Deviant Nurses & Improper Patient Care (2006). |
