There's a level of inhumanity and disregard for human life in Israel that hasn't been seen since the Germany of the 1940s. Apartheid Israel is a very sick and depraved society.

If a tree falls in the forest and the NYT is not there to write about it, did it really fall?

A zillion American Boomers still think Israel is a liberal democracy and a shining light in a Middle East that is dark and barbaric.

I grew up around such boomers. They also believe Palestinians are like wandering gypsies, historically without land to call their own.

Americans also have strong feelings about land rights, being able to do whatever you want on your own soil, so you can imagine how adherents feel about a people who allegedly have land rights on a Biblical level.

Meanwhile many Israelis look like eastern Europe (or even further west). While most of us Americans are 2-3 generations from Europe, no Europeans let us claim we're ethnically from there, and understandably take offense if we say so.

It wasn’t until the horrors of the Vietnam war that some of us began to realize that we’d been lied to but once the draft ended most went back to sleep. Palestinians were seen as crazed airplane hijackers who delighted in attacking innocent kibbutz’s who were not colonists but rather only making the “desert bloom”.

Genocide in Gaza, terrorism in Lebanon, a salad of both on the West Bank, political blackmail throughout the West. Barbaric Israel must be crushed not resupplied.

It is very clear about the facts. There should be no confusion or doubt about the bad players. Too many people look with their eyes, but do not see the reality. Stop looking and start seeing what is happening in our world. Then let your voice be heard. After all, we weren’t given a voice just to use for nefarious purposes. Let your voice shine for peace, everywhere in the world. Then you will have a name and not a number. ❤️🙏🏻✌️
