Jews in the eyes of a Japanese, היהודים בעיני היפנית

I just read a very inspiring article from a Japanese woman who spent her life exploring Jewish history and she has a message to say about Jews:

Asked what she admired most about Jews and their survival instinct, Muraoka said, “It’s the concept of peoplehood — that all Jews are responsibly for one another. It’s a loyalty that goes beyond country, or family history, or specific religious practice. All of Israel is one. I find that extremely special.”

Even though Ms. Muraoka experienced discrimination as a lone Oriental in a waspy Anglo country like New Zealand and identified with anti-Semitism through this, well, unfortunately, she is not aware that there is also anti-Oriental sentiments against Jewish converts and their children who are Asian/Oriental in a country like Israel, as experienced by some olim, not to mention discrimination among Sephardi and Ashkenazi, Chiloni and Charedim, and what have you.  This discrimination is much less so in the Diaspora where Jews of all stripes identify with each other, since it is a battle against anti-semitism "It's us or them (anti-semitic gentiles)." However, in Israel, we have too many Jews who instead of embracing one another, turn against one another.  Only terrorism unites the Israeli Jews (among themselves) and between Israeli and Diaspora Jews (because down deep inside, we do care about each other!).   Go figure!
