I said I met Aaron Levitt last night when he was protesting the Hebron settlers in Manhattan. He got in arguments with a lot of them. It was an amazing thing to watch. Because Levitt knows his Orthodox Judaism, having been there himself. What a Jew. Here is another of Levitt's achievements, a poem he wrote about the Nakba that the wonderful Lawrence of Cyberia, who is actually an English woman transplanted to our shores (I believe she was ordered out over loudspeakers of the Brits)(bad joke), has adumbrated with amazing photographs of depopulated Palestinian villages. Further proof that my side has the better story to tell right now. Or, as we say in the gilded ghetto, this s--t is delirious, and it is gonna blow the young kids minds. I'm lifting a bit:
If I robbed my neighbor of his home,
al-Jura, < late 19th. Pop 420, Muslim & Christian. Depopulated poss 11 Jul 1948.
nobody would need to check the law to decide whether it was wrong.
al-Lawz, unknown. Pop 450, Muslim. Depopulated 13-14 Jul 1948.
Nobody would argue about how long she was there, or whether she was "indigenous",
Lifta, <= Crusade period. Pop 2550, Muslim & Christian. Depopulated early Feb 1948.
or whether her cousins had room for her at their place.
First Rahm, and now Lieberman … it seems that all the US election was really asking you was whether you wanted to die for Israel tomorrow, or next week.
Apologies for being off topic, but really: this is a zionist power constellation:
rahm, chief of white house staff
lieberman, homeland security committee chair
chertoff, head of homeland security.
And the American goy believes Jews are mostly
just like other Americans.
And, if you point out how that's not quite so, you are just an anti-semite.
Haha. One of my grandmother's "friends" said that Obama will fill his entire cabinet with blacks. But instead, he puts a bunch of Joooos in there.
Funny how things turned out. The "secret muslim" happens to be good friends with the Jewish community of Chicago and the US in general.
My thanks to Philip for his kind words, but to say that I "know my Orthodox Judaism," while high praise, is more credit than I deserve. There is a great deal to be learned of and from Torah and Talmud, and my own learning is just a drop in the bucket.
Thanks for taking the theological side of "keeping my commandments" as more relevant than "occupy the land".
Bravo Levitt!
Les mots juste!
