David Miliband: and Yiddishkeit.

Joel Schalit posts a mix of Turkish psychedelia to complement the stuff I posted here. Here it is, about the length of two sides of an old LP (more info here).

You know, every time I see the word Zion- or deriatives thereof, even when mentioned in reggae songs- I feel slightly under fire.

Are you the last person left who uses it confidently?

I think the Elders of Zion are using it with a certain amount of irony here, rather than "confidently".

But why does it make you feel under fire? It is an ancient term for the land of Israel. It is especially commonly used in the Psalms, most of which were written while the Jewish people were in exile, and often express a longing for home.

This was picked up in the cultures of the African diaspora, who used the Psalms to express their own sense of bondage and exile.
