At this time (...Sigmund Freud died on Sept 23 1939.<br />At this time (if the text really were from Freud) there were no state<br />of Israel, only a british dominion called Palestine.<br />By the way, Freud died in London, were he had flown from nazi occupied austria.<br />Apart from all that, Freud had little thoughts for Israel, Israelites<br />or Jews or Judaity.<br />In my opinion he was maybe more influenced by his jewish roots than he<br />knew himself.<br />So was he quite surprised as his first work went translated in hebrew<br />("Totem und Tabu"; published in Jerusalem, British Palestine).<br />The word "Israel" hardly ever appears in Freud's works.<br /><br />In other words: this text cannot be Freudian.<br /><br />So... It's not up to me to judge the text of Sherlock Hommos.<br />But aside the inspiration on a couch of a psychanalyst,<br />I don't see the link to Sigmund Freud.<br /><br />But maybe it's just a lack of humour on my side?<br /><br />IlliaIllia Perretnoreply@blogger.com
