This powerful force continues unabated far into the adult years of a Jewish child.<\/p>\n<p>It was my Jewish mother who pampered me, spoiled me, and smothered me with a blanket of <em>over-protectedness<\/em> and <em>over-bearingness<\/em> for a large part of my life. <\/p>\n<p>Not only did my Jewish mother want to know during my adult years if <em>I was eating well<\/em>, (and what <em>exactly I had to eat<\/em> that day), but if ever I was going to rise above the level of <em>under-achievement<\/em> by becoming someday a doctor or a lawyer. Anything less was to be a complete failure in her eyes. &#8220;It&#8217;s never too late,&#8221; my Jewish mother kept scolding me.<\/p>\n<p>I was a straight-commissioned salesman for a manufacturer of cleaning products and this was not the kind of <em>profession<\/em> my mother could brag about to her Jewish friends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What field is your son in?&#8221; my mother&#8217;s Jewish lady friends at Hadassah meetings would ask her. &#8220;He&#8217;s the <em>Director of Personnel<\/em> for a large manufacturing concern,&#8221; my mother would answer &#8212; substituting &#8220;personnel&#8221; for my sales-calls on &#8220;persons.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But the main thing that my mother would never forgive me for, (until she got baptized 33 years later), was my converting to Christianity when I was 21 years old in 1971. This for her was tantamount to being a janitor in an <em>Elks Club<\/em> &#8211; the ultimate for her in <em>under-achievement<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realjewnews.com\/to\/pictures\/realizeit.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\n<strong><font size=\"4\" color=\"9900FF\"><em>ZIONISM<\/em> DRUMMED INTO MY HEAD<\/strong><\/font><\/center> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font size=\"3\" color=\"FF6600\">I WAS BORN <\/font><\/strong> in 1950, two years after the State of Israel was declared a nation in 1948.

Even though I was at the time an Orthodox Christian, I still had not completely shed my <em>Zionist<\/em> indoctrination.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I said to my traveling companion when we walked out of the Tel Aviv Airport was, &#8220;This all reminds me of Southern California.&#8221; And as we wended our way through &#8220;the holy land,&#8221; I never retracted this first impression.<\/p>\n<p>On our 3rd day, we visited the historic <em>Wailing Wall <\/em>in Jerusalem. It was very crowded as the Jewish <em>Festival of Purim<\/em> was fast approaching. <em>Purim<\/em> is a riotous holiday for religious Jews and apparently the Orthodox Jews were already in a riotous mood. (Religious Jews are commanded by the Talmud to get drunk during the days of Purim.)<\/p>\n<p>I walked through the crowd at the <em>Wailing Wall<\/em> with my <em>petition<\/em> in hand to stick into one of the cracks in the wall when a crowd of Hasidic Jews started pushing me from behind. I felt as if I was struck by a hydrogen bomb.

I yelled at them,&#8221; as they pushed their way past me, &#8220;don&#8217;t you people have any manners?&#8221; One of them, evidently thinking that I was a Gentile tourist, turned to me &#038; said, &#8220;We don&#8217;t slow down for mumsers.&#8221; (&#8220;Mumser&#8221; means &#8220;bastard&#8221; in Yiddish.)<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realjewnews.com\/to\/pictures\/saveasit.jpg\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><strong><font size=\"4\" color=\"0033FF\">JEWS &#038; ARABS<\/font><\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<p>On our last day in &#8220;Zion,&#8221; my rental car broke down in an Arab village outside of Jerusalem. It was dusk and my lady traveling companion kept on saying, &#8220;The Arabs are going to kill us &#8212; the Arabs are going to kill us.&#8221; But I kept my cool.<\/p>\n<p>I opened up the hood and propped it up to advertise that the car had broken down. About 5 minutes later, two young Arab boys in their early twenties walked over and said to me in English, &#8220;We are mechanics. We&#8217;ll fix your car.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How much will you charge?&#8221; I asked. &#8220;Nothing, we&#8217;ll fix it for free,&#8221; they replied. And indeed they did! We exchanged addresses and phone #&#8217;s and while driving out of the Arab village I said to my friend, &#8220;There&#8217;s got to be a way for Jews and Arabs to live together in peace &#8230; but Zionism seems to me to be the main obstacle.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>My lady friend, an arch-Zionist, answered, &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter that Jews and Arabs should live in peace. The only thing that matters is that we&#8217;ve got our homeland and we&#8217;ve got to do everything we can to keep it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Suddenly the phrase flashed through my mind, &#8220;The meek shall inherit the earth.&#8221; Reflecting on this, I knew that there was nothing <em>meek <\/em>about Zionists.
