Re: [Cz-L] Schalom, ich bin Mentsh & Bukovina Style!

Hi, Sylvia,
  Antisemitism is embedded in peoples minds,
   the language is only a manifestation.
 I dont mind being called names.
  I dont insist that they like me.
  With this we have lived for centuries.
    But this leads to killings .
     And this I mind.
