When will you be toddling off to Hawaii?
Why go to Hawaii and eat SPAM, when you can come to Boston,be civilized, and eat really good food?
Izzy doesn't appreciate, in my opinion, how a Jewish American can be alienated from Europe, due to the lackluster reaction after the smoke cleared from the crematoriums. Perhaps, many Europeans think of the Holocaust as a blip on their collective European radar screen, so to speak. However, for many Jews, especially American Jews, it was the defining event, for an identity, since Masada. I don't ask Europeans to understand Jews; however, it would be nice if they at least gave credence to the Jewish reality being different than theirs?
