Just because I'm an anarchist doesn't mean I can't acknowledge that some states are more libertarian than others. I defend the former against the latter. You in contrast, hide behind your an cap ism, and paint with a broad brush: all govts are evil, period.. Lichtenstein had a better govt than Nazi Germany. You are precluded from saying that. I'm not. Nor have I gone AWOL from libt for saying this. Your understanding of libertarianism is different than mine. I think mine is correct.
Dear Walter why do you keep doing this. You are a liberty minded person. Not a statist. Recently all your work is about defending states. I would like to see more of the ole Walter that dismantles the state.
Thanks for an interesting essay. An interesting footnote to the history of Jews in the Caribbean was the Jewish pirates, who were mostly Sephardic Jews wreaking havoc on the Spanish crown a century and a half after the Spanish crown had exiled their ancestors in the Spanish Inquisition. In Curacao's Jewish Museum there is a fascinating gravestone with the skull and bones on top of the Hebrew letters indicating the individual's name, and similar graves can be seen in Hunt's Bay Cemetary in Port Royal, Jamaica. Two of the most famous American privateers and pirates, Pierre and Jean Lafitte, claimed Jewish ancestry and descent from Converso (converted) Jewish parents in Bourdeaux. Among the Jewish pirates of the Caribbean still remembered are Moses Cohen Henriques, who helped the Dutch capture a Spanish treasure fleet worth a billion dollars in today's money and was associated with Captain Henry Morgan. As well, Yaakov Koriel, a 16th-century buccaneer who commanded three ships but eventually repented and moved to Israel to study Kabbalah.
Q: "Jews are questioning whether their loyalty and contributions to these societies are truly valued."
A: Ve know the answer. Nix, nein, not on yer life. "Alles vergotten"--(an' nuttin' is "vergiven!")
Now, the gesture've standin' up fer joos in Jamaica would be noble/appreciated/ballsy too! but methinks (I daresay) it ain't gonna fly as an enviable destination fer many.... I'm willin' ta be wrong tho!
Many of us feelin' keenly unwanted don't have a yen fer the place.... notta surprise then that Uganda, Siberia, an' Madegascar didn't eggzactly "a'peel".... to us either. Hard boiled an' stiff necked we may be... but we tend ta like where we've got roots a mite deeper.
That said, this hist'ry lesson is new, refreshin' & most welcome!
Given that we've been falsely accused (by da cwazies) as bein' (pahrdon the xpression) gung-ho on own'in' slaves--supposedly guilty of possessin' / ownin' the "most" slaves in the US South -- more 'n the noble Christians.... (which is full out hogwarsh--I mean there were so few of us there-then, it's impossible!)... it's indeed welcome nooze that some "good eggs" among us once upon a dram of rum, molassas, or sugar cane made the circumstances far better in Jamaica for the slaves that did have lousy lives there. (still.... I git night 'n day mares thinkin' 'bout Jane Eyre's Bertha Mason...plus I like mah autumn leaves...)
ANYBUDDY goin' out on a limb ta say sumthin' nice 'bout Israel or us chews, iz doin' us a mitzvah! Thank ya Lipton Matthews!
Cyprus is alteady up in arms as wealthy Israelis buy up huge swathes of real estate there. They, these Zionist Jews, want Closed, Gated Communities, closed educational facilities and, no doubt, special tax status! Divisiveness, Exclusion & a bronze age angry god mindset. The head rabbi of Jerusalam was just quoted as saying that non-Jews are born to serve the Jewish people! With all due respect to your towering intellect I don't believe that Rasta & Yaweh can co-exist. Jah Rules 🙏
Thanks for the evidence that the supposed "anti-Zionism' of the libertarian movement is really antisemitism. Wake up and live.
I spent a month near Bob Marley's house in Sandyport, New Providence Island, and I noticed the seal of Solomon. Contrary to your hate-filled claim, Rastafarians share reverence for the Old Testament, the concept of Zion, and recall King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Rastafarians trace their faith to Abraham, to whom they link Halle Selassie. Many Rastafarians practice near-kosher dietary practices.
Your choice of hate and ugliness doesn't live up to Bob Marley's words in "Wake Up and Live!": “Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality.” https://youtu.be/5Q7DIm25UU4?feature=shared
Tiresome. Israeli apologists should STOP CONFLATING Jewishness with Zionism. They are NOT the same thing. And the Old Testament has fuck all to do with zionism! Written in different millennia, btw 😂

Dear UW: Thanks for your support. Walter

Dear Mitchell: Thanks for educating me on this. Walter
