That must be because you already have one and don't need it. Lucky you! I remember when I was born and growing up — the no-butt, flat-butt, 70s blonde look ruled (in the white world, at least). Not a good time for me. I remember this line from the 1970s novel, Scruples, "Billie thanked G-d that her behind was a…

Wait — Hedy Epstein was rescued by kindertransport. She isn't a survivor the same as someone who came from the camps. And you mention descendents of survivors? Not survivors. As for actual survivors of the camps — I have to say, again, I don't get it. Self-loathing Jews? Whatever. All I know is that I see no…

Hamas doesn't send leaflets before bombs or kidnappings. Israel is doing better than they are. And who does leaflets? Just Israel. They are trying to save lives while defending their own. No one can say that about Hamas. Heck, there is very disturbing footage of Hamas forcing Palestinians to stay in areas that…

What? Israel not inclusive? The Arab countries surrounding Israel are not inclusive. 20% of Israel's citizens are Arab (Muslim, Christian) — not Jewish. 20%. And they have the same rights as Israelis. Exactly. Heck, the judge who sentenced Israel's former president to prison for rape was an Arab. Where would…

Wait — you are saying that I think that not supporting anything Israel does makes a person anti-semitic? No. I think people are anti-semitic and therefore do not support anything Israel does. I know full well that right wing Christians who support Israel have no love for the Jews. But no one loves the Jews — so…

Well, why are the voices of Holocaust survivors speaking out in support of Israel not equally important?

I have enormous sympathy for the Palestinians. I am glad that Israel drops leaflets before they bomb, warning civilians. I am sure you have seen the videos of Hamas not letting civilians leave targeted buildings and neighborhoods. I blame Hamas. Basically, if the Arabs put down their arms, there would be no more…

You have heard that Hamas has lied about the number of civilians killed, haven't you? Anyway, you haven't given me an answer. What specifically do you think Israel should do? Specifically? Why do people seem to believe that Israel could magically create peace and are just choosing not to? I don't get it.

And…

Why should we listen to their voices? Because they are Holocaust survivors? That is silly because there Holocaust survivors who support Israel's actions in Gaza, so there you are. Perhaps YOU should listen to THEIR voices. But of course you shouldn't and neither should I. Why on earth should either of us use the…

How else do you suggest Israel defend itself? What would the "right" way be to protect itself? Hamas is lobbing rockets at Israel — why can't Israel lob rockets, too? What do you think Israel SHOULD do in this situation? I am not blindly supporting whatever Israel does. Why do you say I am? Because I support…

When I saw this, I thought, "Who is Pinkham?" Because I had forgotten his/her name in the few minutes since I posted.

Wake up, C.A. This is how the world is. They hate you, C.A., because you are a Jew. Maybe one day you will realize anti-zionism is anti-semitism. If this doesn't convince you...I don't know what will. I cannot comprehend you.

Or Israeli technology...or medicine...

I absolutely support Israel and its right to defend itself. C.A. — this is clearly all about anti-semitism. And your not supporting Israel will not protect you. It won't. You're a Jew. That's it.

I have big legs. I do not wear skinny jeans. Ever. I never will — I probably couldn't. It's not a good look on me.

I am so sorry about the abuse you suffered — you're not alone. And you are here, surviving and thriving, so fuck whoever hurt you!

No one was looking at her face. Sigh.

THAT is an awesome story.

That is a damn interesting point.

I think she said she likes hearing she is lovely — she doesn't like the "suck my cock" remarks (although for some reason I always got "Mami I eatchyou (it's one word) so good." And I do not like that. To put it mildly. And then, when I would flip them off or walk away, I would always be called a racist. WTF? But…
