General Discussion

I'm curious if you personally have experienced genocide and erasure.

There are a lot of Americans who have experienced this. Not just the tiny population of Jewish Holocaust survivors and their descendants, who carry that trauma, but also the millions of Americans who are descendants of enslaved people, whose lives have been impacted in immeasurable ways by the United States government's ongoing oppression of Black people, exercised through the systemic use of every institution. And the Americans who are American Indians, whose land and identity were taken from them through genocide and erasure by the U.S. government using every institution.

I strongly disagree with the actions of Netanyahu's government just as I strongly disagreed with the actions of George W. Bush's government. We the people of the United States are directly responsible for so many atrocities we are literally drowning in the blood of hundreds of millions. I face this and I recognize it when it's happening again.

What I see happening again right now in the U.S. is yet another example of the American people blaming and attacking a minority (Jewish people) in yet another burst of self righteousness as we point the finger at others.

This time the addition of screams of "Genocide!!!" and "deniers!!!" is especially ironic.

Let's look in our own mirrors.

P.S. Netanyahu wouldn't be getting away with this right now if a bunch of losers hadn't decided that "Killer Kamala" was worse than Trump.
