Why!
You said I’m acting unforgiving,
Is it Because I'm Jewish!
You think as me like I'm greedy,
Only loving- gold and money,
Is it Because I'm Jewish!
You think that I have to undermine every church,
Like in our Jewish ritual have told,
Thinking that I have to hate all Christians,
Because I'm Jewish!
You kill me with hatred
When I walk down the streets
Wearing
The Star of David
Being hunted down like prey.
Because I’m jewish
I ask you why
WHY!
Do you treat me like this
Oh I forgot…
It’s because I’m Jewish

    What Are The Pros And Cons Of Being Hispanic

    For today’s society being Hispanic has a negative connotation, especially in the 2016 Presidential election. Living in the south most of my peers asks me “How did you survive crossing the border?” Or “Be careful, I will call Immigration to get you deported”. I take great offense with those stereotypical comments. Though, society tells me otherwise I consider myself very fortunate to be Hispanic.…

    Hi Benjamin: Anti-Semitism In Nazi Germany

    Hi Benjamin. Your post is very sweet and straight to the point, yet it holds good opinions. I agree that there are different degrees of anti-Semitism; because some people may not show and express as much hatred towards Jews as others, and as you stated, some could possibly even reach the degree of killing Jews, similar to what Hitler did in the 1930’s. Although, I am hoping it never reaches to the extent of Hitler’s concentration camps. Referring to your second paragraph, I believe hatred towards others is taught, and not born within oneself, so I can see how it can be passed down through generations and therefore, expanding through the world.…

    Pros And Cons Of Being Hispanic

    Well, to put this into perspective being a Hispanic means dedication, toleration, and passion. Now you are probably asking yourself why have I carefully chosen these three words to truly describe what it means to be Hispanic in my mind. Well notably, these expressions contain a denotation comparable to no other because it can only be fully comprehended through the devoted lives of Latino’s all over the nation. As an illustration of how arduous our livelihood can be, imagine departing the country that birthed you do to the horrid adversities occurring in ones community to arrive in a new country without any help from society.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Being An Immigrant

    The only thing worst than being a new arriving immigrant in the first half of the 1800s in the United-States was being a slave or servant. No matter which part of the country you found yourself in whether it be the North, South or West, as an immigrant you would be subjected to job discrimination, residential segregation, limitations on civil and legal rights... However, if a choice had to be made, I would have probably chosen the North because the thought of living in a state that hadn't abolished slavery like in the Southern states wouldn't be conceivable to me. Moreover, I wouldn't have lived in the West since the states that were being created there would have been too recently become parts of the Union and I would have most likely considered them…

    The Pros And Cons Of Being Born Hispanic

    Being Hispanic to me means that I was naturally born blessed, but also cursed. I was born blessed because I was able to raised by parents who had an endless work ethic. They stopped at nothing from trying to keep food on the table and clothes on our backs. I remember growing up, both of my parents working endless hours of hard labour with minimal pay just to have enough for our family to survive. Even though we were struggling most of the time, my parents always woke me every morning to the same speech, "Son, I want you to succeed in life, I want you stay in school and earn a college degree so you will not have to struggle like us in the future.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Being White

    To acknowledge a superior advantage is the first step to changing the world. Majority of white people seem surprised at the fact that there is still a divide between races in modern times. They’ve taken the pretentious viewpoint of claiming that they don’t ‘see race’ that they just ‘the person’ and while that might be what most activists are striving towards in modern times, all that really means is that they are benefiting from the privileges of being white. It is almost impossible to relate to someone who is struggling because of their skin color when the privileged have never had to face such unfair and unjust effects because of the way they look. I am white, I am female, and those are facts.…

    Analysis Of Giger And Davidhizar Transcultural Assessment Model

    Being a ‘good Jew’ is vitally important to those who follow the Jewish faith; yet, the definition of such a view is very personal. Even still, there is a general sharing of beliefs that focus on the simple platitude of doing the right thing and giving of yourself by caring for the well-being of those in your local and global community (Semans & Fish, 2000). Time Historical evolution of the Jewish faith is grounded in their ancestors; an obligation to the promotion of their legacy in future generations is integral to the continuity of the faith. Despite adversity, Jews have thrived while facing oppression.…

    Analysis Of The Book Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered By Ruth Kluger

    Ruth Kluger’s memoir, Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered, documents the author’s experience surviving the Holocaust as well as the shocking antisemitism that preceded it. In her blunt, straightforward manner, Kluger guides the reader through her childhood—a trying time in her life which she refuses to idealize—to her present situation in America. In addition to the historical accounts of the Holocaust, Kluger’s memoir reveals several dimensions of her relationship with Judaism and her Jewish heritage. Kluger’s perception of Judaism is influenced not only by her experience as a Jew during the Holocaust but also through her own personal view of what it means to be Jewish. Nazis perceived Judaism as strictly racial, regarding the religious aspect as irrelevant and attributing negative stereotypes about Jewish appearance and behavior to an inescapable, predetermined heritage.…

    The Holocaust: The Justification Of The Holocaust

    The Holocaust has been discussed throughout history and english classes for decades. Students learn about the types of camps, stories of people who lived through the horrors, and many more horrific details of this tragic time period. A less discussed topic is the justification of these cruel events. Why did they pick the Jewish people, how could they do such inhumane things to innocent people, but just generally, how did the human race allow this to happen? Why were Jewish people chosen to be the scapegoat for European hatred?…
