It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Catskill Mountains is a very interesting place, Rip Wan Winkel went to sleep there and Woodstock is also close.
David Bowie had a holiday home there, he said spartan, stark and mysterious was his impression. In the 1850's onwards it was a place where the Jewish people of New York went for holidays to resorts before cheaper transport gave them other options later in the century and it never regained popularity, like Vermont and New Hampshire it has spectacular autumn colour displays from the trees. Thanks Lilith7, I really like Orbital.

Turns out that it was from 1920 to late 1960 that resorts in the Catskills were popular with Jewish people from New York City, it was known as the Borscht Belt and here's some more info:
"It turned out all my favorite performers were veterans of the Catskills, Borscht Belt comedians, mostly Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews, who cut their teeth in the Catskills at resorts like Grossinger's, Brickman's, and The Overlook. The catalogue is thick of the funnymen with Catskills cred who flickered in my living room: Woody Allen, Morey Amsterdam, Bea Arthur, Milton Berle, Shelley Berman, Joey Bishop, Mel Blanc, Mel Brooks, Lenny Bruce, George Burns & Gracie Allen, Red Buttons, Sid Caesar, Billy Crystal, Rodney Dangerfield, Phyllis Diller, Totie Fields, Shecky Greene, Buddy Hackett, Danny Kaye, Alan King, Robert Klein, Harvey Korman, Jerry Lewis, Richard Lewis, Chico + Harpo Marx, Jackie Mason, Zero Mostel, Carl Reiner, Don Rickles, Joan Rivers, Rowan & Martin, Mort Sahl, Soupy Sales, Dick Shawn, Allan Sherman, Phil Silvers, Arnold Stang, David Steinberg, Jerry Stiller, The Three Stooges, Jonathan Winters, Ed Wynn, Henny Youngman; and on, as some above would say, ad libitum." https://catskillsinstitute.northeastern.edu/

I've heard of most of them & seen some on TV - Joan Rivers, Billy Crystal, Danny Kaye & of course the Marx brothers. The prejudiced bigots of the day refused membership in Country clubs to Jewish people so the Jews started their own clubs; they became the Boscht belt.

Yes, apparently there are more Jewish people in New York than Tel Aviv, which probably explains the support for Israel by America and supply of arms against the Palestinians.

Yes Israel gets plenty of support from USA; a pity in view of their reprehensible right wing govt. The Stones Country honk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHiaxet1...I&index=27
