"It’s just..."
It’s just a celebrity on a red carpet wearing a red hand pin. Fashion is subjective. It’s just a slogan projected onto Big Ben. It’s free speech. It’s just a BBC presenter comparing us to rats. It’s just banter.
It’s just a rabbi murdered in the UAE. A random tragedy. It’s just 50 Jewish kids kicked off a plane in Spain. A diplomatic spat. It’s just a girl in France. An isolated incident. It’s just a plot to kill us in Manchester, a firebomb in Boulder, a shooting at Bondi Beach. Just one-offs. All of them.
It’s just... maybe take the kippah off when you leave the synagogue. It’s just... maybe put the mezuzah on the inside of the door this time. It’s just... maybe have an exit plan.
But you’re right. It’s probably just me.
