Dear Folks, Israel is not the Land of Milk and Honey it once was, decades ago, especially for one group, the Ashkenazi Jews. Unfortunately, in recent decades, they have lost relative status and power in the State of Israel, even if the other once-minority groups have done their best to intermarry with the guys in top, as one does. Some might try to fool us and lead us to believe that the State of Israel is not also a very racist society. But, I think, any fool can tell that Israel is one of the most racist lands on Earth. And, their warfare tactics prove this beyond the shadow of a doubt. But, since I love New York Deli Food, I enjoy the company of the Ashkenazi Jews. I have much in common with them. But, this topic is NOT about Bagels, of course. The important question here is, if continuous and incessant war is never-ending in Israel, and if this is on the cards (or in the cards), wouldn’t you think that the Ashkenazi Jews will very soon want to hop a plane for better climes? I know I would. And, this group of people from Israel have passports, and they are welcome around the world, especially in the USA. Therefore, how many more days before they vote with their feet, and leave Israel, once and for all, except maybe to revisit for a day-trip to witness the continuing devastation of war? Wouldn’t YOU want to Get out of Dodge, if you had a passport and a plan, if you were living in Israel? Shirley, almost anybody would. The talk of bailing is becoming more serious if not strident. Certainly, below the surface, families are carefully weighing their options, and counting their coins. It's difficult to say who will go where. I doubt places like Thailand will become a safe haven. The USA is still the best place to head, if one is trying to flee Israel, before it's too late. So, there is this wonderful old song that discusses the GREAT QUANDARY of going and staying, or visa versa: These are such difficult times for everybody, it seems. Glad I am not an Israeli, these days. Life is challenging enough, without that. But, when one has lousy leaders, then it is the comman man who suffers most. Don't you think? Best regards, Gamma
