Yep, no one prepared us for the stamping that Jews have received time and time again. But I can't help feeling that if we really are "chosen" it's because we are immensely strong people within. Strong enough even to bear far more than our fair share of the burden.

And honestly, if I was to tell you why I won't stop speaking up, no matter how deflating it can feel at times, it's not because I honoured any faith-based pledge. Being born Jewish was merely the reason I refuse to buy the common narratives and the reason I know personally how much of it is lies, and I simply will not stand by and watch that happen.
