Notes from the Resistance
Recruit foreigners? Jeff Schwartz suggested it in his online novel ‘The Consultant’. I quote:
“The burly, unwashed security guard at the metal detectors refused to pop the gates so I could walk around them. He stood there, staring at me with a look only a Relocated Palestinian could stare. The influx of RePal’s after the Arab/Israeli war had brought a whole new ethnic group of minimum wage earners to the US of A. I only hoped that, someday, they’d settle down and do the melting pot thing to the degree that they’d rise out of it like the people who fled to the US at the start of WW II had. It was a faint hope; there’d been yet another article in that morning’s news about RePal street gangs in New York City rumbling with Young Zionists. The casualty figures
were as lopsided as one would expect.
After politely asking three times for him to pop the gate so I could go
around, I walked through the metal detector and tripped every red light it had, he rose up out of his chair balefully, presented his ceremonial plastic bowl of office, and in a thick accent said, “All your metal items into the bowl!” The “infidel pig!” at the end of the sentence was unspoken, but emphatic none the less.”
Stay safe
