i've been accused of being a nazi for some of my past letters to the editor of the local fishwrap, now electronic instead of dead tree. after reading just a bit of this entry from an israeli i've come to the conclusion that i must indeed be a nazi;

Etzel Haturki (At the Turk's) is a well-known shawarma place in the central Israeli city of Or Yehuda, and there is nothing Turkish about it: It looks simple, though the prices are not so cheap, with a host at the entrance and long lines of customers who've come from near and far to partake in their food. My son's army service brought him to the restaurant at the time, and since then he loves eating there.

On Friday afternoon we went again, when a commotion quickly flared. It began with loud curses and ended with a horrifying group encircling our table. "If only you would choke on the food and die," it began, "why are you giving him food here," it continued, and "if there weren't cameras here, I would break your face," for the finish.

"Look who's eating here," the man called out to the passersby, as they stood in a circle, looking at the devil who'd come to town. The man came closer to the table, his fury rising, and violence was very close. We left to the sounds of curses that accompanied us to the car, "fuck the mother of anyone who eats with the Nazi," they shouted at my son, too..........more.........
