He didn't deserve that. If he wanted to marry a Jewish woman, surely they could have let him? Maybe they had worked out a nice way of life: two Sabbaths, long discussions about keeping kosher. He asks her if she's ever tasted pork. She admits, yes she has. So she asks him, when he was a young man and thinking he might be a priest, did he ever have sex? He admits, yes, he did. She looks him in the eye, "It's better than bacon, eh?" And then they killed him for it.from Michael Rosen: New Statesman: One Jewish culture, many voice
