I know many Jewish folk here in the UK who find what Israel is doing to be abhorrent. And they're not all 'Self-Hating' by any means. As a young man I had a thing for Jewish girls; even going so far once as to be thought of as some sort of secular Jewish person, or at least not contradicting that mistaken assumption in others: like the girls in question's parents, for example. The things we'll do to get a leg-over when young....tchah! At the turn of the century I was a non-Jew in a band of essentially Jewish musicians whom I still count as good friends, and they, and their families, are riven with difference of opinion. (Mind you, I also had a thing for black girls, and the exotic: but neither are in the frame here. To the best of my knowledge, the Exotic ain't bombing the Gaza strip, with intermissions daily: so that the TV reporters get decent lunchbreaks.) But I digress. When I last spoke to my good chum Robin the conclusion was reached that the Israelis are using their history and (for those with memories or historical perspective) relative-moral-superiority-gained-through-victim-status to bully a small and vulnerable enclave of dispossesed indigenes. Robin is very Jewish. And also very English, I suppose.
Naomi Klein is Canadian. I don't suppose I ever shagged a Canadian Jewish girl, or at least not one I can remember. Damn, I've had an underpriviliged life.
Still, whatever my carnal inadequacies, there's a girl who needs petals thrown beneath her feet when she walks.
