jews of lebanon

last day of august.
i'm not sure how many days it is since my last post to mondoweiss, but here's to keeping that streak going. if they had immediate posts i'm sure i would not be able to restrain myself, but given the lack of immediate posts it is entirely feasible.
i started trying to put bmp in order (meaning lighting a fire under it and thus absolving the language problem by making it immediate instead of weak) by changing 3rd person to 1st person.
dreamed of judy the k. and wasted time and plugs that don't go into outlets and sharing quarters with others and hairy female stomachs. reminded of hanging out at the k. residence in some dreams.
so someone on mondoweiss has posted regarding the lebanese being superior to americans that they have rebuilt a synagogue despite all the attacks from the jewish state, whereas america does not want the mosque near ground zero.

as christopher hitchens has pointed out on slate, the opposition to the mosque has a lot to do with other subjects other than the attack on the world trade center: namely the fact that white america feels under attack by the growing population of nonwhites that will recede from majority status to plurality status some time around 2040. that it is this insecurity that is at the base of the opposition to the mosques that they have as much to do with insecurity regarding immigration as they have to do with the attack on the WTC. does lebanon need to fear jewish immigration. when the numbers of jews in lebanon hovers somewhere between 50 and 1000 and the jewish community does not dare to vote so as to maintain their discretion, no. Lebanon has nothing to fear from jewish immigration. the jews have something to fear from their presence in lebanon despite some public relations statements made by nasrallah. the reestablishment of the synagogue is pure P.R. and to equate the new mosque which is meant to attract a truly universal population that visits new york and an increasing muslim population that is immigrating to america to a synagogue that has no rabbi, because the jewish community is too small and too scared to have a rabbi is to compare an open society to a society that is not opened to jews, but is near the end of a lengthy process of kicking out the jews, if not by policy than by acts of hatred.
