On Oct 7 I was Pro Palestinian Today I'm An Anti-Semite
For decades I have fought my culturally appropriate bigotry. I know that it is a never-ending battle but one which I can with constant work fight to a stand-off. At least that's what I believed until a day ago.

I was web surfing and found the 1984 version of 'Wonder Woman'. It was most assuredly a piece of pre-pubescent fluff aimed at young boys and girls. I'm in my 70's so it really wasn't my cup of tea.
But, and there's always a but, the lead actress was both beautiful and powerful. So out of curiosity I did a google and found out that Gal Gadot, Miss Israel of 2024, was playing Wonder Woman.
My shameful first reaction was a strong desire to turn off the movie because Wonder Woman was being played by a Jewess.
This does not make me a card-carrying Nazi. It does however indicate that the Israeli / Palestinian Blood Bath is awakening some of my heretofore sleeping prejudices.
Personally, I take it as a good sign that I see it as shameful and stupid and that I want to fight against this evil. Wish me luck.
