Are you really a mohel? That is so cool. I have not led a sheltered life, by any means, but you're the first mohel I have met, and as a circumcised (former) protestant, my helmeted warrior salutes you!
I understand about the haters. I write about Gaza, a lot, and even though every Jewish friend I have --- and I have a lot – is on the same page as me, I still get some insane hate, usually from someone pretending to be a practitioner of one religion, like an Israeli Jew who is screaming like an insane Muslim terrorist to kill all Jews, or on the other hand, a Muslim pretending to be a Jew and saying Muslims are subhuman should be exterminated. The duplicity, the lengths people go to in order to perpetuate this madness is overwhelming. The wall of hate and ignorance is so very dense, and there are so many willing participants because repeating what you’ve already heard is always easier than stopping, listening, and thinking it through.
It was a pretty simple piece, provoked by outrage. What little I have left because everything is outrageous these days, so the emotion behind the word, its semantic power, is rather blunted. I've been hobbled with strep throat for a while, but there's meatier stuff in older posts. I just had to say something when I saw the guard coming in. Thanks for the like. It's always nice to meet someone -- anyone -- with a sense of humor. We're all gonna find out right quick how important that is. You can subscribe for free if you like. I normally post a piece every week & I'll never put up a paywall.
I agree wholeheartedly. When I see her, I do feel that she is repulsed by Ubu Trump, remorseful of her decision. I can't prove it, but if anyone in that crowd has any trace of compassion or decency -- I'm talking 3 to 4 percent of what the average person possesses, typical among borderline sociopathic oligarchs like her -- it's probably Ivanka. But she was famous enough and connected enough. She didn't have to befoul herself and marry this pig, so I have to also consider that. But I am not beyond having an occasional feeling of pity for her.
Rumpel grew up in the same town as me. Though our names sound similar, we aren’t related. He was an asshole, used to bully me in PE.

LMAO. We Mohels stay hidden for the most part. There’s a lot of haters out there. They be jealous of my appearance, from all the stem cells.
Good to meet you. I liked the article!

I did subscribe and I will go through some of your old articles this evening. Stay strong.✊🏼Solidarity of the people is our strongest weapon.
Sounds like we grew up around same types of people.
I concur with your thinking. I can totally see how Trump is the father especially when I think about how he treats Ivanka.
Right! I see it like that anyway. I was trying to work Ivanka into the piece, but I just couldn't seem to fit it in organically. Good point!
Thank you😊 I know Ivanka is a shitty person but I still feel so bad for her. She never stood a chance😞
