Hey Tova, you wrote, "Ask anybody in the street what image is conjured up in their minds by the alef bet and the answer you would most often get nowadays..." You then go onto to list the same ole racist rhetoric "oppression, dispossession, racism". Wonderful street you live on Tova. Tell me do these same people "in the street" see the Chinese alphabet as representing oppression as well? Have they also been revolted by the sight of Arabique script? Sounds odd that they are only turned off by hebrew calligraphy dear. Are they also turned off by English letters, we all know the history of the British empire. Sounds either like you are living in Little Bangladesh or surrounded by the Far left and the Far Right which have come to represent the same message of hate. Hebrew is an ancient and beautiful aesthetic. That your mind has confused it with anti-israel hate propoganda is more a statement of your inadequacies and poison than anything Israel may have done. |
