"Alex McDonald’s When They Speak Israel, reviewed here by Steve Grant, explains to all of us how to engage. His basic assumption is that while some Zionists are dyed-in-the-wool racists or ethnonationalists, most are not. They sincerely believe they oppose racism but have been taught that support for Israel is justified — if not a solemn moral duty."

i'd like to think that this is true.

my ancestors were genocided out of existence this in this country 100 years or so ago and i think that they would find this situation extremely familiar; especially in regards to gaza; and this comes after decades worth of the "trail of tears" paragraph in american history books.

i think that today's public opinion is manufactured like consent is; how else can something like a genocide be treated the way it is when we should know better after doing so many and advocated against it for so long?
