I was thinking about the people who support the ideology of Zionism but who are not actually murdering children and all the other things you list. You are right that the murderers do not deserve empathy, especially not for their acts, but the people who have not go that far yet do deserve some kind of empathy, maybe. I think. I am saying we need to try to understand them, why they do what they do so that we can figure out how to stop it. When I think about all the fallout from all the wars, how more war mongers have been created, I think it has to stop somehow. It isn't going to stop just by getting angry and promoting more war. I think anger is a good thing, but ongoing hate is not. For myself, I try to pull back from the hate that I do feel and try more to figure out how we got to this. I think anger is a good emotion because it spurs me on to try to figure things out.
Anyone who supports the ideology of Zio-fucking-ism FAVORS the genocide of the Palestinians, whether they are actively engaged in performing it or not!
It is a complicated thing to try to figure out how to stop this from continuing. I don't have the answers. I know that I want it to stop. I have observed that hate and revenge don't usually stop the violence of power mongers. Self defense is a good thing. Not like Israel's genocide, but not allowing yourself to be attacked if you can do that. What is happening is Gaza is doubly horrible because people are not really allowing themselves to be attacked, but the entire world is assisting Israel to commit genocide.
Also, I live in a very Jewish neighbourhood and I know some are Zionists, others I don't know. I do not want to walk down the street and hate everyone that I see. I have to try to find some humanity in them. It is often very difficult. I saw a car flying an Israeli flag today. I felt like smashing that car. So far I just feel like doing those things. If it morphs into actually doing those things, then I think I will have lost.
Well, Susan, at the genocide’s inception, an I Stand With Israel sign sprouted around the corner from me. I pulled the jeep over, got out, and stomp that motherfucker to death.
