Yesterday I overheard two Jews arguing in favour of nazi-style actions against foreigners. And against due process for them. Because, of course, those damned foreigners! They were specifically reffing Hispanics. And given that they aren't even Pesach-observant, I doubt that Vayikra 19:34 means bupkes to them. I believe both of them have post-WWII refugees in the family woodwork. One of them, N.B., is a lawyer.
[Vayikra (Leviticus) 19:33-34: "And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt ... " ]
Not that I expected any better of them just because they were Jewish, but I am surprised at their inability to see the irony and disconnection.
Because I have a slight accent, though American-born, I have been told several times to go back to wherever the hell I came from. And I've also been called a Euro-commie jew.
Years ago someone threatened to report me to immigration. So I should just watch it!
And I can still remember the manager at one company who was convinced that I was an illegal alien trying to snooker everyone, but she could see right through me.
It's a longstanding open sore.
You will understand that I have no wish whatsoever to visit any of the red states and rather wish they would drop off into the ocean. I also suspect many of the people there of having unclean diseases and being too closely related to each other for comfort.
