During the early years of the 20th century, a Jewish industrialist and his wife contributed a considerable part of their fortune supporting the Zionist movement. This was Joseph and Mary Fels. Joseph was a member of the family that founded the Fels-Naptha Soap Company in Philadelphia. After Joseph died in 1914, Mary continued to work for the Zionist cause of establishing a homeland for the Jewish people. What was different is that she hoped enough money could be raised to purchase territory from a country in some part of the world other than Palestine.

Thank you, professor!

Political semantics, the abusive language of oppressors, is fully supported by so-called democracies, especially those of the USA brand. I propose as an antidote, antiZemitic. I am definitely antiZemitic.

thanks for your comment, brother. Monitoring and suppression of online communication is an ever-present and increasing problem. Some of the restructuring and rewording will work for a time -- ie. antiZemitic, PAL-IS-TEIN, Iz-ray-el, and so on. We are in hard times and going to get harder. Makes me appreciate my broader family all the more -- people like you.
