What has Zionism done to Jewish identity? I ask that question a million times a day, but this video of Jerusalem day, June 1, is particularly poignant.
Celebrating the reunion of Jerusalem following the '67 War, the demonstration is reminiscent of Freud's father telling him about being attacked during the Hep-hep pogroms in 1819. Look at all these boys in their white shirts. Hear them shouting Muhammad is Dead! And spitting at a Palestinian compound. Giving the finger. And "butcher the Arabs... death to Arabs... May your village burn..." I'm trusting the translations. How deep in any people is the spirit of ethnic cleansing-- and what licenses that spirit? How intractable is this conflict, and what can Americans be doing to wind these screwballs down? Thanks to Elly K.
