What does one do when one is publicly welcomed a very clear "anti-Semite"?
I am recently when I was not only critical of Islam, but also Israel-and Jew-critical (not in general, but in particular power relationships) expressed passes me for the first time, and if my reaction was adequately correct, because I rätsele yet.
So first thing I did, then considerations of what I might have done instead.
As one who hurled me this accusation, obviously was not a silly marginalized youth, but a seasoned top dog in the hall, I replied simply just that Arabs are Semites, but most Jews are not. Then that I let myself not offer, and here and certainly not (it was in Stuttgart, where I feel a certain raison d'être and also no events of radical left) and left the premises brusquely, with a laconic Thank you and goodbye.
This has now, and that was me, of course, clearly, be regarded as as if the accused had been sitting, were proved by my reaction that he was correct.
On the other hand, I was in that round in which I felt with such a throw-off, the so-about means nothing else than that a completely contemptuous worthy, was not to civilization associated sub-human, hardly expecting (which no longer happens to me), nor after to justify myself somehow contrary, because I had no doubt not only Muslim but also Jews Critical told, so that the cause of the side was not to escape.
If I had - in the event that they'd let me word what in such circumstances is never safe - to go into a battle of words, just laugh, or enter something three mutter that such was not just it quite live up to, not fleeing , the initiation hopefully halfway without prejudice to survive?
Or counter, the man knows not at all what he's talking about, even that he was probably an anti-German, as he agiere using this formula? In order to then probably thrown out of the hall, rather than at least still translucent voluntarily to leave him without another scandal?
Or the attacker, who said I had such "outed" me, taunting a little to the effect that his German was now not just it a classic?
But that would probably cope as a red herring on my part been interpreted as nowadays so everyone knows this gibberish term, so everyone understood that the man thus "revealed" meant.
From the sporting side of things here, however it was once again an interesting experience. For what one in such a position within tenths of a second - as I said, I was so in this atmosphere unfortunately not expected in the least - shoots through my head everything is already considerable, shows one after all that because there is something so much, drinsein needs.
At least I got neither a red turnip, nor that I would become loud, nor that I would have given one even remotely comparable ejection from me.
Bottom line, so I'm fairly happy with my half-reaction.
Questionable whether it could be done much better. Sometimes just a half defeat still the best.
However, whether the next person who gives me this kind, also comes off so easily, was first to be seen. For there is one against all insidious malice or more agents. Even against this, against which there is seemingly none.
In this respect, next time, there should be one, the Goeller will be better prepared and have at least three other operational ripostes are ready.
Or he simply disappears again, this time perhaps entirely wordless, only with a contemptuous smile.
Maybe I should re-read Kafka often, because that is my favorite Jewish author and truly knew something about such situations.
