i know, i know, its very en vogue - even among Jews- to make wild claims and gross inaccuracies when it comes to Israel's conduct. These words, slaughter, genocide, massacre- they get tossed around. I'm here to remind you what those words actually mean - and what they don't

Yazidis- slaughtered.
Syrians - Massacred.
Palestinians - in a decades long conflict with Israel. Engages in state sponsored incitement and terror. And their population has exploded and life expectancy is among the highest in ME. The conflict has a history of over 100 yrs.

during which Jews accepted anything and everything they could for self determination and the Arabs did everything to not. You can't rewrite history and you can't make up new definitions for the worst words in humanity. You want peace for Palestinians? So do I.

Stop throwing your self righteous bullshit at me and start doing some hard work. What will it take to get Pal peace & security, not another terror run state like Gaza - which we can not accept. I'll do my part here, on the ground with NGOs & with my vote. What are YOU doing?

Talk to Palestinians - HERE. Not in America. The ones HERE who have to live under the corrupt PA where they have no voice, no vote, and are fed a steady diet of incitement and hate. Where they are given no hope but to die a martyr- their families pad for their slaughter of Jews

They know that Israel isn't going anywhere. If you truly want peace- you will accept that too.

We will do anything for peace except commit suicide.

and to my fellow Jews with survivors guilt- stop it. Its embarrassing that you dont know our history. Its mortifying that you adapt the tropes of those who ignore history. Fucking learn something. Grow a set of ovaries and acknowledge that we are fighting for our damn existence

It's true that I wrote this under the influence of whiskey, but I think it simply gave me the guts to say what I've been afraid to for fear of backlash.
