It isn't the main issue, but it does seem a proportion of anti-Israel activism is linked to mental illness.
The senator you mention was kicked out of her party for starting a fight in a strip club, not something healthy professional middle aged women do. Professor David Miller and lots of his ilk have a level of paranoia that are close to what you would expect from a paranoid schizophrenic.
It can only be used as “join together, merge” when it’s something like two vowel sounds becoming one because one is dropped. It’s specifically a joining by deletion. It can’t be used in the way you’re using it.
Look up Esther Abrahams, "Lady Penrhyn", from the First Fleet. Jewish presence seems reasonably well documented, albeit Jews had an ~irrelevant presence over first few decades. Think first synagogue was in 1840s
Beautiful, Misha.

Thank you for writing this Misha.
