I have always been one to try and make excuses before I deem something or someone “Anti Semitic” so I ask when does “Anti Israel” statements say more about hate of a race than a country?  Of course one should not only be able but willing to criticize countries that do things they deem wrong but when is it more about a people than political issues? Being chosen might mean a “higher responsibility” but not higher hate. Here are some (below) thoughts/questions one should consider to determine if that later is true.

(1) Is Israel being put under a electronic microscope where other countries actions are looked through a blind eye?

(2) Are the actions that occur initially blamed on Israel before any true investigation occurs?

(3) Have the recent events appear to give an excuse for those filled with hate and rage against the Jewish people to come out of their awful closest?

(4) Has the source ignored the history recent and past before making such bold statements?

(5) Are the generalized remarks backed up with specific unbiased facts?

(6) Are “errors” and “poor actions” generalized to condemn a whole people?

(7) Have the facts of victim vs defender been twisted around?

After you dropped your last drop of “Java” listen to this song and it will bring your caffeine level to a high new level.  Yet with the contrasting video your body may not know how to react. Your ears will tell you to keep going while your eyes might slow you down. So, to conclude listen don’t watch ” Lovejoy- Normal People “if you need your Monday morning caffeine fix.

FOOTNOTE- Everything comes together in the last minute of the video but you might have a restless sleep before then.

It has always bothered me how the world would perceive the saying of the Jewish people being “chosen” if only they read the story of Joseph first.  Joseph was chosen to lead his people but not without many trials along the path. These trials included being cast as a slave, imprisoned and feeling of betrayal from those closest to him. Is the type of chosen that many would want to encounter? He had to deal with this and still believe in a higher calling. Eventually that calling not only healed his family but in many ways the world as he was able to divert a horrific plaque by listening to the word of G-D.  The Jewish people have suffered like few other people yet through the years plant new seeds for the world. We faced unprovoked missile attacks so built the Iron Dome to protect us and our friends around the world. Developed Watergen  and Drip Irrigation to pull water out of our dry Israel air which today is being shared around many a desert around this globe. Being lost is not a problem anymore as Waze has opened up new highways and byways, along the way. The Jewish people often have been the ones to bear the devastating loses to show the world true evil whether it be the Nazi’s or Hamas today.  For those ignoring history forget it starts with the Jewish people but if allowed to burn this evil engulfs all good people around the world. Yes, being chosen often can have one say G-D you choose someone else the next time. Yet it is a responsibility, burden and duty that we bear being of this tribe.  We are not better than anyone else just different with a mission/obligation that might truly help the world.

Which reality am I living one of the Joneses or one of though Bundy’s? For, I’m not sure which one is my sleeping hours and which is truly a nightmare?  It appears I’m your standard family man half the time than a murderer the other half.  Life it collapsing on different paths as is reality. I’ve seen all different therapist at least I think but with no explanation of this dark path that appears to occur once I close my eyes. The question then becomes am a good man or a monster?

They were against M-E and that is why I’m alone now. Yes, it started out, well didn’t start, by them not saying hello but then I realized how awful a friend they were. I had a map in my head about all the previous slights I just let pass previously even if others couldn’t connect the dots. The most disturbing aspect is the louder I got stating my case the less others connected with M-E.  My repeats were meant to emphasize the point but others couldn’t understand. My “friends” and “family” betrayed M-E as they got annoyed by my window. I even caught them talking behind my back and trying to get me “help” when they are the ones sick.  So, I’m isolated on my own island but at least know one can bother M-E now.

FOOTNOTE-  A self fulfilling prophecy of those who suffer from paranoid thinking.

Where one places a grave site will determine who lands on it in the future. Often tombstones are forgotten along the path of life but left in a central area the memories can last many other lifetimes and leave a mark for the tribe they belonged too. Rachel’s tombstone was destine in such a place as it has been central to many in the Jewish tribe for many, many generations. G-D has a reason for everything even messages we understand way after our clock has passed on.

Just a little everyday might be better then the whole all at once. Getting a single may not get you home but still counts as a hit. It’s the consistent small messages that can sneak through and truly make a difference in one’s life. They can build to “Nirvana” and make every step along the path filled with a bits of diamond.  So, maybe slow down and enjoy the bits as it makes that slice taste a whole lot better.
