Lies |
Bilbulim
Bilbulim
are lies that have cost arrests, jail sentences, and sometimes death to the
victims. This is happening today in the twenty first century in our America.
We have seen this historically and recently. Innocent human beings have
been imprisoned for crimes that were committed by others.
The actual criminals were so clever that they managed to deny their deed
and projected their guilt on an innocent human being.
The criminal has means of ridding himself of his deed and cleverly
observes the victim with enjoyment and glee. We have seen this so often in
history and also in today's world. We see it in our newspapers, when a person
who was imprisoned for eons of years is
released from prison when the real murderer is found or a once upon a time
bystander tells the “true” story. We read the Passover story, the birth and “adoption” of
Moses by a princess. His sister was
his savior. She did not want him
murdered when he was floating in a
small boat because of his religion. Hideous
murderers were ignored and innocents were murdered. This is an old story and much was already written in Biblical
stories and more. Hitler is a
recent example of murders justified by falsehoods.
Six million of our Jewish people were destroyed because of the
lies, the hatred of this man, and his insistence to kill all of us
without mercy. No one had pity on
the innocent souls who were ridiculed, beaten, and thrown into death chambers
and furnaces. Their prayers were
useless, as was their innocence. There
are a relatively small number who escaped the murders that occurred in Germany,
Poland, and surroundings. Our
escape was a miracle, but it left its memories, our feelings, and our fears, to
say nothing of the loss of our annihilated families in our lives and eternally
in our thoughts and hearts. Today,
in the year 2017, we are not surprised that attacks are made on people who have
won what they deserved through ambition, hard work, and attempts to right the
wrongs that we have experienced too often.
The United States has been the best country in the world. It has had the
most freedom, fairness, and opportunity that humankind has had in our
“modern” world. For the most
part we Jewish people have been accepted, our intelligence has been admired, and
murder was not expected or accepted. Suddenly there has been a very sick side of the anti-Semitic
folk who would like to hold innocent people, including the Jewish people,
responsible for what the haters have not achieved or earned.
We can see it when the voting failed to allow the swindlers, the
anti-semites, the hateful groups, to win the election. They were so full of hatred that they damaged Jewish
graves and held the Jewish people responsible for not getting the votes
that they wanted. Anti-semites
reared their ugly heads. They were
“courageous,” these cowards, because we are a tiny number of humanity and
are easily destroyed. The enemies
of our people punished our dead in the cemeteries when actually they wanted to
destroy us. Their cowardly behavior
did not allow them to shoot our innocent brethren lest they would feel
retaliation from the living victims. The
shame is that the Democrats became the Jew haters and we, the fools that we are,
swore that the Democrats love us all and are our friends (a mistaken notion).
We must remember “Judas Beware.”
Let us open our eyes and realize that the haters of our people have
become our enemies and we their scapegoats. We are very fortunate that Trump is our chosen president! He is pro Jewish; recognizes our intelligence our strength our honesty. He is in reality. He is not deluding us (as did Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who refused to let us into the United States of America and allowed the Nazis to kill us in Germany). Trump gave a true heartwarming speech; he was the person who received the votes from all of us who had the intelligence not to have the false notion that the Democrats are our friends. Trump is doing everything in his power to be just, fair, and realistic to recognize what is normal, possible and what is destructive. He wants to help his/our people to have jobs, opportunities and more. He does not want non-American sadists to come into the country illegally, shoot and kill us indiscriminately, take away the livelihood of our citizens, and destroy democracy. Trump has his flaws, as all of us have. He is no magic angel who can make “it all good” like a parent for his child. He has been successful in his ability to make a living and he wants to see all of us Americans do well and be able to support ourselves. Especially as Jews, we must not be deluded or live in the past. We must remember what is real and what is not. No imagination must delude us like the delusional belief that Democrats are the righteous ones. Reality and honest actions are what we must view. The word democracy has deluded us at this time. It is truth that is important, and healthy actions are what COUNTS! Lehitraot. Dr. Ursula A. Falk is a psychotherapist in private practice and the author of several books and articles. |
