to the jewish people: a rant
fuck i love you all. but i hate you. how can someone feel two such conflicting emotions at the same time???
i guess it's a jewish thing.
i've taken responsibility. i've gone out there and made everyone aware of who jews are, why they're here, why it's so wrong to be anitsemitic and why you deserve all the wonderful things that come to you. i wear your successes and failures, your triumphs and your defeats.
so - do you reckon you guys could stop being dickheads for five minutes??
i'll love you to death anyway, because that's who i am and that's what i do, and you define me as much as i define you. but for g-d's sake - the whole world is not about you!! not everything is about your defence, your persecution, your issues. i know you've been hurt in the past. believe me, i know what it's like to have every single person you've ever trusted betray you. but that doesn't mean every single person that will ever cross paths with you is going to do the same thing.. somehow, someday, you're going to have to learn to trust again. putting up social walls might protect you from all that goes on outside your little immediate circle - but it makes you miss out on so many great things this world can offer you. being self-involved makes a person feel secure, but it also gives them a warped sense of reality. it's dangerous too; always looking inward makes a person blind to what's coming.
i've come face to face with real anti-semitism.. and i don't back down even when i'm threatened and called all sorts of horrible names by racist people with ugly hearts. but some of what they say is true. if you want to move en masse to a country that is essentially populated by another group, you're gonna have to wear that. i know the historical connection jews have with the land of israel - i'm not retarded - but a lot can and did happen in the 2000 years that you weren't there.. as an australian i have been made to wear the 'land-stealer' label, and i've learned the first step towards reconciliation is admitting that yeah, that label is probably pretty accurate. it doesn't make your state any less legitimate - it doesn't make you 'worse' people - but it does make you sound like you actually have a clue. if you want people to believe in the sincerity of your intentions as a nation - you will have to acknowledge all aspects of your past, and every step of the long journey to where you are today. how many of you have died in someone else's name? but how many have died in yours? what makes their lives less valuable??
honestly, i find you, for the most part, to be arrogant, thoughtless, elitist and patronising. but i'm drawn to you - and you're drawn to me too. admit it - it's ok. there's nothing wrong with me besides the labels you've applied to me. no, jesus wasn't moshiach, and neither am i. but we both have an important message for you. the way you do things has to change on so many levels - otherwise your great potential as a group is never going to be achieved - and you'll never find the peace you've spent the last 5000 years searching for. you deserve that peace. now stop bitching at each other & everyone else and go out there & friggen get it.
do you want to know how? just follow me.
get your act together. you people should know better by now.
