I stand by what I’ve come to the conclusion on over the last little while. The underlying problem is the Jewish diaspora has not healed from the historical persecution they face. That is quite frankly everyone’s problem. What they’re doing is 100% wrong but when taken in the context of “hurt people hurt people” it makes sense. I don’t know the path forward, but I do know it’s not going to happen without some very brave leaders in the Jewish community to step up and call it like it is.
Ive also been mulling the idea that Palestinians needs to charter their own Truth & Reconciliation to lay it all out in the open.
Exactly. A child molester does not get to molest children legally if he was molested as a child. It may be a reason for it but it doesn’t make it right
The diaspora is fine. Every American Jew I know is horrified at Israel’s actions. This is Colonial Settler violence. We’re just not used to seeing it in the 21st century.

I don’t think this take is consistent with understanding Israel as a colonial project.
Crazy mental gymanistics
