Right now writing a dieting blog seems more than somewhat superfluous if not downright crass.
I know life has to go on and it will, it does.
But I don’t feel like writing a blog about dieting while my people are being subjected to such a torrent of hate coming from so many places.
I know this isn’t a political blog and I don’t plan to make it one. I’ve no wish to annoy or offend any of my subscribers who come here for diet tips and advice. But I cannot write about dieting right now when there is really only one thing I can think about most of the time. How so much of the world, but particularly in the West where I live, has turned on The Jews. The hatred was always there. That much is obvious. Now it has an excuse to parade this hatred knowing no one will stop them.
Jews are being hit twice over. Our heartbreak, agony and anguish over the biggest pogrom since The Holocaust. Every Jew I know knows someone who was murdered in that pogrom on October 7th, 2023. What hurts one hurts us all. But if that wasn’t enough, as if Jews aren’t in enough pain already, we’re seeing this celebrated on the streets where we live. Gloating. Cheering. And nobody stops them. Because nobody dares.
Know this though. We are the canaries in the coal mine. Antisemitism is a sign of a sick society. A very very sick society. What starts with The Jews never ends with The Jews.
Take care everyone. Stay safe and hold your loved ones close. X
