on Mad-Off
December 17th, 2008
This guy Madoff, a Jew, has stolen from seemingly every wealthy Jewish philanthropy and many other Jewish inverstment groups and the like.
He goes to court like the schmuck he is, and everything appears calm on the outside–all his victims, what do they do? Why, they go to court. No, G-d forbid one of them tries to gauge out his eyeballs…which is what i would do, for sure.
It is why we are loathed in the world, why we are scorned, ridiculed, and laughed at. It is why we are designated cowards–because we are. It is why we willingly walked into concentration camps–”Oh, Please, Mr. Nazi, please don’t hurt me! I won’t say anything to offend you, just let me go back to my office and count my money!”
Same thing here–a guy wrecks thousands of lives, maybe millions…and he just walks into court, unopposed. Soon, he’ll have his own reality TV show. It is nauseating. And it makes my blood boil.

There is so much here to tackle veiled in the ‘problem with Jews,’ I hardly know where to start.
I, for one, am grateful we don’t live in a land where people go around seeking an eye for an eye; where folks don’t go around carrying out the law the way they see fit… As a teacher, as you know I am, if an older child doesn’t like something that went on in my class, should I have to fear for my physical well being afterschool because I am afraid he/she will seek retribution?
If while driving to work, someone cuts you off on the highway, is it then ok for you to make a dent in his/her fender because it will make you feel better?
There are lots of other examples I could site…and I will if you need me to…But the over arching idea here, is people do some bad things..some premediated, like Maldoff, some not… Even if you don’t agree with the punishments the court metes out…And I don’t always do, myself, I take solace in the way that most law abiding people trust the system…It allows time for both parties to think and construct meaning, instead of just springing into action. Often criminals do things in a knee jerk manner, shot someone or do phyical damage. It is a good thing to learn from these people’s mistakes and not just react…But to think first, annalyze, and then take an action.
Your comment about Jews and their inaction, re: the Hollocaust, bears some pondering…. And black slavery in the 16-19 century, a much longer span of time, could also be put in this catagory of inaction….Except not as recent…
I don’t know…But on a personal level…
There’s a hope that you won’t be too reactive in your dealings with me…That you will ponder a bit more before taking an action and give me the benefit of the doubt, mix in some empathy with your antipathy…Yours truly,
Alexis
