You are eloquent in your response. I have never seen the world so ugly toward Jews but it has become deriguer to condemn the only democracy in the Middle East -- the one government who practices diversity and shared space well. So naturally "they" have become the enemy. This has taken on the feel of a biblical battle: between light and darkness. We have suffered the extremes of "fashionable" opinion before, we have survived brutality, murder, torment .. nothing new for Jews but we continue and survive and rebuild. I do not believe the "other" is capable and so, the longer this continues, the more the world will change. Losing their humanity, their purpose, their ability to create and develop. If you read history, the answers are all there (even when ignored). I have no doubt that despite what happens, Jews will survive -- because that's what we do. Whether it is Masada, a Farhud, a concentration camp or even the disappointment when neighbors turn on their most vulnerable segment of their population. Am Yisroel Chai.

Palestinians are just like Nazis: A certified Death Cult! The more death and destruction, the better! That is their fundamental Philosophy! As long as they can blame it on Jews! "Schadenfreude"(joy in misery) at it's best!

“I’ve been an activist all my life and doing something is always better than doing nothing — even when the positive impact is seemingly negligible. Except when doing something harms, rather than helps, the cause we claim to support. “

That’s certainly a relevant quote, as every person in the public eye is raked through the coals for not “doing something” (aka posting on social media) to support the cause of the week. But when you know nothing about something, you should not speak or post about it! Ppl don’t have the courage or integrity to STFU anymore.

That's the reason I tell everyone not to use the term "Pro-Palestinian" and substitute "Pro-Hamas" instead.

I agree with the enemy. 35000 dead Palestinians are a good START.
