I used to live with a Jewish guy from New York. This was in Baton Rouge. He brought me home to meet his parents, who kept Kosher. We stayed there a couple of weeks. They had three sets of plates, one set for meat, one set for dairy, and a special set for me. Not sure whether that is common practice or whether it was an insult. In my house, when I was a kid, we kept a special set of plates for the black servants, which only the servants ate off of and drank, and were washed separately. I felt that the separate set of plates for me was an insult. True stories. Why do Jews hate the "road map"? It's no worse that what the Israelis agreed to, years ago. I've often wondered whether they were dealing in bad faith, just as the Palestinians are dealing in bad faith. The rage at the "road map" puzzles me, and makes me think, once again, of bad faith. Is it because after all the bloodshed, all the death, the twisted, blighted lives, they won't be any better off than they were in the beginning? Neither of them? All those dead children, for nothing? Forced to live with your most deadly enemy, forever? As for claiming that the Orthodox Jew of whom I spoke refused to speak to me because of my looks, that comment reveals your soul.
