life is cheap

why is jewish life so cheap? so cheap that no one bothers much to lament its vulnerability to constant attack, verbally, physically, violently, and politically. So cheap that a Jewish state must live in a state of hyper-defensiveness and awareness, perpetually. So cheap and yet so important: much of the world still thinks that Jews cause problems, Jews embody problems. If only they stopped, if only they no longer existed, the world would be a more peaceful place.
