Every time there’s a tragedy or terrorism or bombing.
Or worse.
We are all…
Parisians.
New Yorkers.
Barcelonans.
Orlando.
Charlie.
We change our Facebook and Twitter icons.
We post our hashtags.
Je Suis… what is it today?
Except, not always.
There’s one exception:
Israel.
Oh, it’s not Anti-Semitism, it’s Anti-Zionism.
How dare you accuse me of that, you filthy Jew?
Go back to where you came from.
Well, we did. And they want to kill us there, too.
Fifty-seven hundred years, we’ve watched empires rise and fall.
We’ll watch yours rot and crumble, too, as the next takes its place.
