pocket1_pitaI’m not sure where to post this…..
I’m on a hate list! There’s an organization called masada2000.org. It seems like a whacko’s website, it’s full of insane diatribes on self-hating Jews and how there’s not such a thing as “Palestine” and “Palestinians”. You know who I mean? Then there’s a list he is keeping of “Self Hating Jews and Israel Threateners” (SHIT list) and I am on it. A long time ago, I was in a group called Jews for Justice in Israel and Palestine started by my friend Indigo. When Sharon came to DC we protested outside the Hyatt. I spoke to a journalist about our group, and then added that I thought Sharon bore the responsibility for war crimes and that as a Jew I was ashamed that he was the Prime Minister of Israel. The reporter asked me why I felt shame, and I said, well it’s kind of shame by association, like if you had a famous child molester in your family. Of course the quote in the paper was that I said “The policies of Israel in the West Bank and Gaza are so horrible that I feel like I have a child molester in my family.” Now I am on this list with that misquote attached to my name. It makes me nervous.
