Jamaica, 1820 Isabelle North needs a hero, and if an arrogant mercenary is all she can find…he'll just have to do. She must get back to England before her past catches up with her, even if that means booking passage on a vessel captained by a man she cannot abide. Phillip Ashford, notorious smuggler and captain of the privateer Intrepid, knows Miss North is trouble. She's stubborn, for starters, and it's painfully clear she's conning him—she looks more like a schoolmarm than the rich man's mistress she claims to be. But beneath her prim exterior is a sharp wit and courageous spirit that draws him in despite himself. They both know they should keep their distance. But passion flares as they defend themselves on the high seas—until Phillip begins asking questions Isabelle would rather not answer. After all, how much can she really share with a man she'll never trust? Meet Phillip's brothers in An Inconvenient Kiss and An Inconvenient Wife ! 100,000 words

“ Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge .”
-Wang Yang-ming (1472-1529)
“I went to the Bulgarian Orthodox church the other day,” I told my friend. (Once in a while, I’m dragged to some esoteric church or other by another friend of mine who’s Spiritually Seeking (TM), and I humor her.) That’s all I said. That’s how this all started.
“I’m into yoga and Buddhism and astrology or whatever. I can’t really get into formal religion,” she replied. “I don’t even know why anyone would be Jewish, like choosing to be Jewish.” I told her, of course, that I probably wouldn’t have had the stamina myself if my dad hadn’t been Jewish. This is usually how I’d mollify such situations; you know, the old “Yeah, you’re right, but what can I say?”
“I mean, I don’t support Israel,” she went on, saying that although she didn’t really know all the facts, she did know such cold hard facts as “people are dying” and “the US shouldn’t be giving money to Israel.” I didn’t really know what she was getting at, but I’ve heard these conversations turn into “the Jews stole the land” more than enough times to know this wasn’t just going to be about fiscal policies.
“Israel is huge , and more people on the other side have died. Unless something has radically changed since I was last updated.”
“I don’t want to talk about Israel,” I said.
“Once I saw this stupid Israel group shouting stuff about Palestine, like how it’s not really a country,” she said. “How can you be such a vile piece of shit? I wanted to spit on them.”
And I don’t like how Jewish people automatically side with Israel as if they are Israeli,” she went on. “Do you really think they care about you stupid Americans over here, just because you’re Jewish?”
“It’s not all Israel’s fault,” I said. “That’s all I’m gonna say.” I have this rule where I don’t talk about subjects like this when neither party has enough information to have a real discussion. She had just told me she didn’t know much, and I’d be the first to admit I don’t know anything about Israel or Palestine, to say nothing of the basics of politics. It’s pretty tough to learn anything anyway when your only options are either Aish or the lone book in your library’s Israel section, “Israel: How to Handle This Fascist State?”
“Well, you’re biased because you’re trying to be Jewish,” she said. “You’re personally invested in this because of the Jewish element. You can’t be objective, and that’s sad. I can’t believe how people can be so closed-minded.”
I didn’t know what to say. I really had nothing to say. I don’t know much about the “conflict” either, except for what I learned in my History of Zionism class, which is basically this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63hTOaRu7h4
Somehow I suspected that wasn’t going to change her mind.
Israel was beside the point, though. I realized this as she continued, telling me that “Jews think they’re better than everyone,” “Jews are so elitist,” and “It’s racist not to intermarry.”
Sure, when I lived in Brooklyn, I heard this sort of thing on the bus and waiting for the subway, but only when I’m back home in Virginia do I hear it from friends. When I told her afterwards that I didn’t like being called “elitist,” she told me I was taking it too personally, and that she didn’t see why she would have offended me.
I’d try to crudely analyze such a frustrating situation if I thought it actually needed analysis.
The truth is, it’s exhausting to be the “spokesperson” all the time to people who will never fundamentally understand. Of course someone who’s raised to believe that “it’s racist not to intermarry” is going to think that “Jews are elitist.” I’m not going to change that. But I thought that when I got disillusioned with the details of the process of my Orthodox conversion and left Brooklyn after five months there, I’d just leave behind the Jewish community and religion and it would all work out, and that I wouldn’t mind the inevitable barrage of “Jews are like X” jokes, because I was over it. I actually thought I could do this, I thought I could avoid all of it, as long as I acted right, said the right things, diverted the subject…right up until I heard “Jews think they’re better than everyone.”
And it just wasn’t happening.
So thank you, anti-Zionist friend, for getting me out of that lie before it could get any deeper. Thanks for now believing I’m elitist and probably ultra-religious too, just because I disagreed with you. You made me realize that this goes far beyond anything I could do to avoid it. Now I won’t have to pretend to laugh at your jerky Jewish jokes anymore.
I have a friend who is fond of saying “never get into a pissing contest with a skunk.”
Sounds like you successfully navigated your way out of one.
Yesher Koach.
Israel was beside the point, though. I realized this as she continued, telling me that “Jews think they’re better than everyone,” “Jews are so elitist,” and “It’s racist not to intermarry.”
What’s a bit funny is that many of the same people who scream from the rooftops about the “racist” nature of a state of Israel meant as a Jewish homeland . . . don’t actually see that asking Jews only to marry other Jews stems from the same sort of “racism.”
Israel sucks, but this friend of yours comes off like a d-bag. At a certain point, your goal should be to upset her as much as possible.
These starter lines might help:
– your expertise on spiritual commitment sure is coming in handy here.
– talking to you helps me understand why I like hanging out with my own Jewish community now and then.
– you make so much sense on this topic. Can I record you with my cell phone so I can share it with my mom? I promise not to upload it to YouTube with your real identity.
JG – Israel does not suck, but I agree with everything else you said.
LMC, good post. There’s nothing you can do with someone who won’t listen. And it’s undeniably exhausting. I arrived in New York City in 2005 after living my first 22 years in places where I was usually the only Jew my age. And take heart, I actually enjoyed that role much more than I do now where many a person has much more formal Jewish education than I, but very little retention. Nothing is more annoying than a day school kid who forgot everything the day after graduation try to pull rank on me. (Am I exposing my bias too much? It’s all too true.)
But that said, if you have the energy, there are ways to invite people to think more deeply. Rather than viewing antisemitism into the ignorant things that people say about Israel or Judaism or Jews, it’s sad but true that most people are ignorant about most things (us too and especially). Without feeling the need to inject different facts or narratives into the situation, plumb them for more reasons until you’re at the bottom. Down there, you’ll find very little solid ground. Mostly values. And that’s when you can introduce your own values and/or alternate perspectives. Before that, you’re just fighting for air time.
I’m also interested in a post from you about the ignorant things Jews say about Christians (or ex-Christians, as the case may be).

Interesting. I should try that next time.

You know what? I haven’t heard anything bad about Christians yet. I’ve actually been annoyed with how overly accepting some Jews are–to the extent that, for example, when the Catholic Campus Ministry wanted to co-host our seder at my school, no one seemed to see why it might be a bad idea.
