twice beaten thrice shy
Serbian community of Jews is very small but powerful. Like
you could have read, my problem is that in Serbian society I am not A very
celebrated figure. I’ve been hated rather and this has been going on for eleven
years, and I am talking hatred on daily basis. That’s the first part of my problem.
The second is: I look like a Jew, with crooked nose and big
ears, though I am NOT. I wish I was as smart as them. So next to Serbs I feel
some of my biggest opponents in Serbia
are Jews, because of the following:
they want to distance themselves from me in loud and angry
fashion to make sure I do not get any Serbian slack if some Serbs falsely assume that I was a Jew.So that is something they want to make very clear. No potential slack for this guy on account of being a Jew. And no mix ups.
I am afraid they want to even denounce / monitor me to make publicly certain
I do not belong to them which, if it so, deepens their animosity towards me. I feel as if they - having nothing better to do - start actions that ruin my life even further. I am hereby only assuming because nasty things have been happening to me, and I have to take into consideration all winds and storms coming at me.
Thus one of my deepest fears in Serbia is to run into some powerful
Jews in the street, like Mira Adanja Polak. If I do, she can pull some Serbian connections
within a next few hours to mess up my messed-up-life. Thus if I see any I am
crossing to the other side of the street before they can spot me. I am counting
on short memory span with some of them, because what is out of sight, it is out
of mind.
When I saw her on television this morning she appeared so
angry about something, that instinctively made me upset and afraid as I thought
to myself she may be angry for thinking Serbs are giving me unnecessary slack and I am not
a Jew so they have to deal with it. There is a saying, twice beaten thrice shy. Strange; very strange.
