Again, Susan:

This thing called EMPATHY.

Why in hell would you want genocide against a population when your own people experienced it?

Jews should be the very people advocating AGAINST genocide.

WTF don’t you get?

It is you who is not understanding. Very often, when people have not processed and understood what happened to them, they either repeat it or harm themselves by using drugs or booze. This article might clarify some things for you. Or not. https://dissidentvoice.org/2024/01/social-formation/#more-147242

I don’t need “clarification”. I don’t use street drugs and I’m only a very occasional drinker.

My way of dealing with what happened to me is to slam that door. And keep it shut.

Six months after I kicked out my abuser, I met the man with whom I’ve had a nearly 43-year marriage.

I am not talking about your personal situation. My purpose in trying to understand issues of abuse is a little wider than that.

I don’t need the likes of you preaching to me as to what to do with the psychological aspects of my life. I already slammed that door. Done. Over. An unfortunate circumstance in my life, and not the worst thing that ever happened to me: that would have been the deaths of my cat Gypsy and my mare Angelina.

My rage is largely confined to blatant injustice. Although if I were ever to witness a man abusing a woman, I would happily rip his throat out.

I don't support what the state of Israel is doing. I think that, in global terms, if we want to try to understand how to stop hate and genocide, we need to look further.

also, gypsy, I would say from the way you have responded to me that you are a verbally abusive person. I hope that does not extend to the physical.
