You’re not being targeted at all. Radical, extremist Zionists are using you as a human shield.
You were responding to me here. (I think my terrible proofreading pretty much acts as my user name: The person who does not see what the phone has done to the words.)
I think Netanyahu is trying to use me as a human shield, as much as the extreme leaders in every group are doing.
I think the leaders of all of the group are trying to binge on lack of empathy.
It’s completely fair to point out that what happened in Michigan should remind us that there are babies and small children who have died and are suffering in Gaza. A million times over. The suffering of the children of Gaza is unimaginable. If you want to say one of the immense failings of a lot of Zionists, Israelis, etc. is an inability to grasp that; Yeah. Absolutely.
But the way out of this has to be that, whatever we think about the other issues, a baby is a baby. We have to break through the anger and help everyone see that.
Somehow we have to figure out a solution that gives every baby the basic conditions and things that every baby in Bethesda or Chevy Chase should have.
“Those other people on that other side are jerks.” But all of their babies are babies.
I know there are bits in the Torah, the Talmud and Koran that seem to contradict that, but what God meant is in every cradle. No one with a good heart and clear mind can think that God wanted to cause extra misery for any actual baby. I look at pictures of Netanyahu, the late Ayatollah Khamenei and Khamenei’s son, and of course they know that. For all of Trump’s bad qualities, one of the traces of humanity in him is a fondness for the idea of babies.
If we bomb a school in Iran, that’s insane.
If we starve babies in Gaza, that’s insane.
If we kill babies in southern Israel while we kill their mothers, that’s insane.
If we drive cars full of explosives into buildings in Michigan with baby slides in front, that’s insane.
