Jews speak with quiet sober grief
of their intimate knowledge of the
harrowing agony of genocide. They
know and they remember and they
will never abandon that memory to
the passage of time. When others face
terrible tragedy in natural disasters or
fallout of conflict the nation of Jews
responds in an empathetic force that
is both emotional and practical to
give aid and assist the beleaguered
and threatened to surmount and to
persevere in escape from assault and
death. When the Jewish national home
faces threats and deadly assaults from
an Arab neighbour furious at the very
presence of Jews in their natural home
violent attacks become the stuff of
jubilation when Jews are slaughtered
on the part of what the outside world is
pleased to identify as partners in peace.
