Another Week

They want us dead.

Angry demonstrators spent half an hour banging on the doors and the glass walls of the Cooper Union Library, shouting for the eradication of Israel “from the river to the sea” while a handful of Jewish students in kippot sheltered within. A librarian suggested that the Jews might hide in the attic, out of sight: one of the students mentioned Anne Frank.

But no: we must be even-handed. But no: we must parse exactly how those forty babies were slaughtered, and we must accept that nothing can be done until after the Jews have atoned for everything.
There is only one sufficient penance. They want us dead.

This is going to get bad. Something wicked this way comes.
