In much the same way - > blame on Israel leaks into blame on Jews > In Germany, the Jews were so well assimilated, practicing medicine, occupying high places in the universities, etc., admired as scholars, scientists, musicians, and artists. They really believed they were Germans. Which is why they were so slow to respond to their situation. They couldn't believe it was happening. It seemed a form of insanity that could not be happening. I think I'm an American. My grandparents grew up and were married here. Both my parents were born here. I was born here. . As to what I practice, it's something between wicca and Buddhism. I have absolutely no desire to live in Israel although I understand its importance to those who survived the war in Europe and those who are presently persecuted in Russia. But when the tide turns to tribalism and ethnicity takes over, it doesn't matter who or what you think you are. Or at least that is the lesson of over 2,000 years of history. I never want to see it happen again. sno0wl <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
