One alone among all others throughout human
history has been the universal stranger that
none others would accept, ascribing to them
all the sinister motives that humanity is known
to be capable of. Their presence considered
a threat to be identified and destroyed lest the
dreaded diseases of cupidity, control and sacrilege
infect the lives of others among whom they
creep in a subtle and furtive campaign of world
domination. When civilization was yet young
stringent efforts to subdue their ambitions by
campaigns of subjugation failed to suppress the
evil within for even as their homeland was
destroyed they struggled to endure enforced exile
quietly flowing toward foreign landscapes yet
their identity was not withheld from suspicion
their mere presence reason enough to accuse of
plotting against the social weal wherever they
settled, a threat to the greater community which
chose to excise the interlopers in bloody measures
of extirpation. But these are different times, times
of enlightened civility where even now the ancient
people suffer unmitigated enmity where the crude
mockery of a mission to defend themselves from
threat and violence has been adapted to their
current persecutors' campaign to penetrate and to
violate their equality status among equals in a
bid to enlist the furtive elements of the subliminal
mind in a popular accord of expressed antisemitism.
