How do you comfort and explain to the
confused, fearful child that it is not him
personally that bad men plan to murder. He,
the child is but a symbol of the visceral
and learned hatred of another child now a man
who nurses that hatred born of a grievance simply
not amenable to reason for the fires of rage
burn the human element to a crisp of
unfiltered loathing within which humanity
may no longer reside. It is not he who
represents the target, that child of three or
four or six or eight years of living experience
but the cauldron of DNA that bred him as
a Jew which makes him guilty of creating
obstacles 'victimizing' opponents of the sacred
ancestral land of his forbears. The child is but
a symptom, a symbol, a syndrome innocent though
he personally is of the torment claimed by
those dedicated to the murder of Jews. You
say this patiently with the knowledge that
symptom though he may be, he has no escape
but good fortune if the plans of the terrorist
bred to, raised and nurtured on the fiction
that doling out death to Jews will amend
the future of his kind are foiled and the
Jewish child manages to survive. Those
that succumb to the frenzied hatred of a man
who was once a gullible child ingesting the
slander of hate have no need of explication.
