[Cz-L] Patriotic allegiance

   In your writing I can sense your feeling against Polish (-Mapai) -
discrimination of the
  Romanian Jews of Israel .
    I know how you feel - I have been there.
    But if you think of it again - where should our allegiance lie ?
      As German speaking Bukowineanns - what are we ?
      Rumanians ? The local Poles said yes, the Rumanians denied this,
     we were split on this issue.
         The Soviets repatriated us to a homeland that was never ours.
     During the K & K we were Habsburgs. Wanted to be.
     Today we are Americans, Australians , Peruvians and Israelis.
      But in 1948 in Israel we were Rumanians. Persecuted by the Polish
hegemonia.
      This made us more Rumanian that we had ever wanted to be.
