Many westerners are having their worst moments right now. As unconscious as they usually are... not clearly seeing Trumpism as fascism and not seeing and shouting stop the genocide in Gaza is despicable and frightening.

I am alarmed by how well we have adjusted- rationalized inhumanity.

The Gazan Muslims are kin to the Jews dating back to when Abraham, very old, took an Arab woman and had a child by her who started the Muslim branch of the Semites. No hatred is more vicious than between close relatives. Jews have faced anti Semitism for many centuries or millenia in many places. Muslims as well, at the hands of Crusaders ( White Christians from Europe) Jews were not able to win land to make their country until the British mandate ended after WW2 and a large part of Palestine where Jews, Christians and Muslims had lived peacefully. Actually Jews for centuries had become white European Jews . Then the British foolishly, without precedent, handed a majority of Palestinian land to the "Jewish" people

who had a religion but not a nationality which they demanded in 1948. Maybe they got it because of geography, oil, access through the Mediterranean to the vast untapped wealth of the East. Imagine, demanding a country, (because a people who were victims and hadn't had a country were just handed over the "country now known as Israel", which they lied and said was a country with no people . And now they're viciously killing the remnants of people who lived their for centuries. I see it is contemptible. But now the USA, hegemon of the world, also a colonizer nation is 100 % behind them. Because they suddenly love Jews? No, because there is riches in oil and gateway to the East and who can guess what else. Especially because Jews have amassed money and therefore power, which is the Satanic god in the wouldn't you know it, wealthy countries of the world . Now these two rogue countries plan and hope to run the world for themselves and their friends and cohorts.

And I say this as a person born a Jew, bot not any more, Ever! Or you might say Never Again.
