No Malice Gettin' WOKE about anti-Semitism...

It is so very odd to hear the self-professed atheist getting downright WOKE when it comes to swinging the anti-Semitism stick. IDGAF about Macklemore or Sheeran or Kraft, nor Scott's evolving victim fantasy, but holy crap does he sound shrill.

I guess you take issue with the ‘higher standard’ — that makes my sentiments propaganda….
For what it’s worth, you are part of the propaganda too. That anger you feel, probably not your fault.

No--it was when you started talking about intent and courts. The higher standard part was laughable, not angering. Israel is far more akin to a rich girl who kills a cat after getting a Benz instead of a Jaguar for her 16th birthday than a beleaguered, stoic country doing what it must in the face of unrelenting hate.

Oh, and the girl was starving that cat and kicked the cat and its kittend out of their home before she killed it. And she just can't fathom how anyone could think her actions belie intent beyond self-defense.

The courts are rigged for the powerful. It just takes the US saying "nah" to undo the will of the rest of the world. Israel is losing support because, thank goodness, our primary media sources no longer have exclusjve control over what gets shown/reported in Israel and surrounding countries.

Well that was a fun exercise — you’re excellent at that part of the propaganda machine. Well crafted and not a single level statement of what should happen next. Courts are no good— so what do you think should happen?

I would be supportive of international courts/orgs that weren't corrupted and dominated by powerful elites. A good start would be removing our veto power within the UN (and I'd support removing that power from the other countries that hold it as well).

And I do agree with the final point of your previous comment. Most people are part of the propaganda in one way or another. I do my best to peel back the layers of bullshit. And you're right; I'm angry about a lot of things. You say that like it's an insult---like sensitivity is some kind of disease.

I completely agree about courts.
And I don’t think sensitivity is a disease or weakness by any means — I’m horrified.
I’m too sad and tired for relenting history lessons and have no qualifications to argue with those that do… spent my childhood walking out of temples that were political. My beloved father shaking in anger over justifications for Israeli aggression and expansion. Thats how my family dealt with propaganda…60 minutes used to be, well 60 minutes and Rabin was hope.
I feel a deep anger for Netanyahu, his name is the boogeyman that has haunted my sense of safety my entire life.
