    Among the essays included in Wrestling With Zion is a talk given as the Second Annual Holocaust Lecture at the Center for American and Jewish Studies and the George W. Truett seminary at Baylor University on April 8, 2002 by Sara Roy, senior research scholar at Harvard University's Center for Middle East Studies, and the daughter of Holocaust survivors.

    “As with the Holocaust,” Roy declared, “I tried to remember my very first encounter with the occupation. One of my earliest encounters involved a group of Israeli soldiers, an old Palestinian man, and his donkey. Standing on a street with some Palestinian friends, I noticed an elderly Palestinian walking down the street, leading his donkey. A small child no more than three or four years old, clearly his grandson, was with him. Some Israeli soldiers standing nearby went up to the old man and stopped him. One soldier ambled over to the donkey and pried open its mouth. 'Old man,' he asked, 'why are your donkey's teeth so yellow? Why aren't they white? Don't you brush your donkey's teeth?' The old Palestinian was mortified, the little boy visibly upset. The soldier repeated his question, yelling this time, while other soldiers laughed. The child began to cry and the old man just stood there silently, humiliated. The scene repeated itself while a crowd gathered. The soldier then ordered the old man to stand behind the donkey and demanded that he kiss the animal's behind. At first, the old man refused but as the soldier screamed at him and his grandson became hysterical, he bent down and did it. The soldiers laughed and walked away. They had achieved their goal: to humiliate him and those around him. We all stood there in silence, ashamed to look at each other, hearing nothing but the uncontrollable sobs of the little boy. The old man did not move for what seemed like a very long time. He just stood there, demeaned and destroyed.”

    Stunned Disbelief
    Recalled Roy: “I stood there too, in stunned disbelief. I immediately thought of the stories my parents had told me of how Jews had been treated by the Nazis in the l930s, before the ghettos and death camps, of how Jews would be forced to clean sidewalks with toothbrushes and have their beards cut off in public. What happened to the old man was absolutely equivalent in principle, intent and impact: to humiliate and dehumanize. In this instance, there was no difference between the German soldier and the Israeli one. Throughout the summer of l985, I saw similar incidents: young Palestinian men being forced by Israeli soldiers to bark like dogs on their hands and knees or dance in the streets... In this critical respect my first encounter with the occupation was the same as my first encounter with the Holocaust, with the number on my father's arm. It spoke the same message: the denial of one's humanity.”

    NEW School prayer :


    Now I sit me down in school
    Where praying is against the rule
    For this great nation under God
    Finds mention of Him very odd.

    If Scripture now the class recites,
    It violates the Bill of Rights.
    And anytime my head I bow
    Becomes a Federal matter now.

    Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
    That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
    The law is specific, the law is precise.
    Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

    For praying in a public hall
    Might offend someone with no faith at all.
    In silence alone we must meditate,
    God's name is prohibited by the state.

    We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
    And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..
    They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
    To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

    We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
    And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
    It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
    We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.

    We can get our condoms and birth controls,
    Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
    But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
    No word of God must reach this crowd.

    It's scary here I must confess,
    When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
    So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
    Should I be shot; My soul please take!
    Amen

    Jesus said,
    'If you are ashamed of me,
    I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'

    If you are a God loving soul, all you need to do is let the people make the choices that God let you be free to make. We all have a choice. :)

    1. Before the beginning was the Nonexistent Chao, balanced in Oblivion by the Perfect Counterpushpull of the Hodge and the Podge.

    2. Whereupon, by an Act of Happenstance, the Hodge began gradually to overpower the Podge -- and the Primal Chaos thereby came to be.

    3. So in the beginning was the Primal Chaos, balanced on the Edge of Oblivion by the Perfect Counterpullpush of the Podge and the Hodge.

    4. Whereupon, by the Law of Negative Reversal,** the Podge swiftly underpowered the Hodge and Everything broke loose.

    5. And therein emerged the Active Force of Discord, the Subtle Manifestation of the Nonexistent Chao, to guide Everything along the Path back to Oblivion - that it might not become lost among Precepts of Order in the Region of Thud.

    6. Forasmuch as it was Active, the Force of Discord entered the State of Confusion, wherein It copulated with the Queen and begat ERIS, Our Lady of Discord and Gross Manifestation of the Nonexistent Chao.

    7. And under Eris Confusion became established, and was hence called Bureaucracy; while over Bureaucracy Eris became established, and was hence called Discordia.

    8. By the by it came to pass that the Establishment of Bureaucracy perished in a paper shortage.

    9. Thus it was, in accord with the Law of Laws.

    But for now,
    Unfortunately,
    History Repeats Itself.

    I don't have a clue. My care takers won't tell me. No bother.
    I've been very, very busy with my latest invention. I call it Sperky. Or maybe Spamky. I'm not sure yet. It is great though. You put 24cans of Spam into a mold press. Hit the button and in 2 minutes, you have a giant turkey shaped Spam nugget.
    If you want to get real fancy, dump some dressing in the middle and Viola, stuffed Sperky, or, Spamky.

    What do you think? Spamky or Sperky? I'm in a hurry.

    They will have to pry my cold, dead hands off my can of Spam. But I will give them a very, very thin slice if they will place it between two $100.00 bills and eat it. That would be the only reason I waste any Spam.

    Now, that I'd love to see! But I'd ask for larger bills. They can even spice it up with a little white powder so that I can laugh my butt off. Paranoia and greed is their main motto... just betcha!

    I have found most every other endevor usless, every other subject pointless. They are but round rat runs leading right back to the very same place. This is what it all comes down to when political correctness swindles the truth, the breath from your very lips. When authority becomes truth, but a few know, to be sure, that truth is really the authority.

    Amen to that my sweet Magprob. But when you do get into a subject with your teeth, I love to read the posts you then produce. You've helped open my eyes and a few more - darned proud of you, my dear.
