Sitting in The Yard in Soho, my favourite gay bar, the other day. I was celebrating with 2 of my closest pals - 1 has just moved to London, the other just about to start an amazing UK speaker tour about her Palestinian solidarity activism. 1 is Muslim, the other Jewish / Israeli - both are fierce campaigners against the illegal occupation in Palestine and for true peace in the Middle East. A huge, built fella spots my Magen David (Star of David) gold bling around my neck and comes over with a wink and a grin to me ... Man - Are you Jewish? Me - Yes Man - Are you Israeli? Me - No [My friend] Yes Man- Oh wow, have you just finished the army? Us - Nope, we wouldnt be in the army if you paid us a million pounds Man- [Taken aback] Why, whats your issue with the army? Us - Uh dunno - for starters, do you think its a good idea to kill at least 2000 innocent people, many children, in the recent invasion of Palestine? Man - Oh oh uh oh ......... hang on, but they are all trying to kill us! They are all trying to send us Jews back to the sea! My Israeli friend - Well firstly, thats just not true and secondly, hows about if the army / Israeli State stopped the illegal occupation of Palestine, do you think people would be less angry? Man - Listen now babe, youre a pretty girl, theres no need to respond like that Me - Speak with some respect man - thats really patronising, not to mention patriarchal. Man - Well I wasnt expecting all this, I just wanted your number, Im just gonna sit back down and drink my drink Oh bless, I feel for him, he just wanted a nice submissive Jewish boy. Maybe next time! :)
