Wow, how to put this. I shall soon be 55 years of age. I am African-American. I am Conservatively-inclined in social/political thought. I am also a Jew in the Conservative/Masorti Movement in Judaism. I attend a Chabad synagogue and live mainly by Orthodox Jewish standards.

When I heard the audio of Ms. Thomas, my jaw dropped. I could not speak for a moment. All I could think of was “nothing is hidden now. People are allowing the real feelings to surface”. Then I reflected on how this Admin. has made these types of thoughts/speech acceptable. It only reflects the POTUS and his Admin. mindset.

There are Conservative Jews. Not every Jew is Liberal. I am a minority within a minority. Many Jews are waking up and letting go, becoming wise. My political motto is “Is it good for the Jews?” Ms. Thomas showed the world what has always been there. I have been told, a few times, in my almost 55 years to “go back to Africa” and I am of Black/ West Indian/German-Jewish/Dutch-Jewish/Native American/Canadian heritages. I never married so my last name “surprises” many people. There aren’t any “pure” Blacks in America anymore. Would my “going back to Africa” really help the ones that said it to me? Many of them were of a “liberal” bent, concerned about me to the point that they wanted to do everything for me. I could/can do for myself.

Judeophobia has reached a fever-pitch. This reminds me of the years leading up to the Shoah. I am glad that Ms. Thomas showed her hand as I have/had suspected Judeophobic feelings/thoughts to be widespread in the Press. Nothing is being hidden now. In many ways, that is good BUT be careful, after the Jews, comes the non-Jew’s time of discomfort. So while folks are salivating over the Jews being demonized, their enemies are watching and planning for them. Be careful with whom you climb into bed.
