Mad and Lethal Jew-Hatred Has Taken Front Stage by Phyllis Chesler Israel International News June 4, 2013 http://http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/13392 We did not want to leave Egypt when we were Pharoah's slaves; within weeks, we wanted to return. This longing for the place of one's childhood, the smells and haunts and gravesites of our ancestors also characterized the Egyptian Jews of the 20th century. It is human, understandable, to cling to that which is familiar, and to resist that which is new, foreign, uncomfortable, frightening. But we are a people whose first ancestors, Abraham and Sarah, left town, left all that was familiar to them, and obeyed God's commandment to Abraham: "Leave your land, your birthplace, your father's home." But not every Jew is a pioneer or a crusader; not every Jew hears God's command.
