Would like to ask you a question Caitlin and/or those with similar political philosophies. I have been on the right most of my adult life. Until the last few years that’s how I perceived things.

“The US (by extension Israel) fights with 2 hands tied behind our back. It’s those goddamn Muslims that hide behind women and children.”

Apologies for my blunt speak. Now I feel bad that I fell for the shit. At least I am man enough to admit it tho it doesn’t right the wrongs.

You mentioned that this operation/execution was on a different plane. I can’t remember the other skirmishes with Israel and Palestine. I recall them happening. I now also understand what we did to Iraqi citizens. Just wondering if t was beyond that? That’s probably not a good question. Now that I am trying to convey it I am finding it doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense I reckon. Still I have some mea culpas in here so am going to get it off my chest regardless.

It’s a strange feeling. And I do want to say many on the right are starting to get it. It’s not the institutionalized ones but the ones on more of the fringe. I think the right (many Christians) and Muslims need to work together. I suspect Muslims are more willing to work together in the US. But guys like me are changing that slowly but surely.

Sorry for the rant; perhaps confession is a better term. 😔
