At Christmas one of my girlfriends gave me A State Beyond the Pale: Europe’s Problem with Israel by Robin Shepherd. When I went for my surgery in February I tossed it into my overnight bag, and never saw it again.
Till last week, when I was tidying up the boudoir.
Europe has always been anti-Semitic – WWII pretty much proved that, when Jews were turned over in droves by their neighbors and associates. And now that Europe is being Islamicized, it’s getting to be like the 30s and 40s all over again. Add to that the incessant bitching and moaning over Israel and her borders, and you have a very unpleasant state of affairs for Jews.
This is a dense book, so I doubt I’ll breeze through it like the latest in the Shopaholic series, but I know it will be an interesting, educational and likely infuriating read.
So thank you, my dear friend, for giving it to me, despite how it may cause me to froth at the mouth.
