On October 7th, Hamas attacked Israel. I’ve been constantly scared and filled with rage since then. People don’t care about Jews, it’s crystal clear now. So few people said anything about the seventh, even though more Jews were killed than during Kristallnacht. They have been talking plenty and calling for a ceasefire now that Israel has retaliated though.
Here in the US the support for Hamas is astounding. I feel like I am living in some upside down universe. Liberals and queers pledging allegiance to a terrorist group that supports Sharia law. The ignorance is astounding, because Israel has more weapons and power, they are being deemed the aggressor, even though Hamas clearly started the conflict.
The worst part is that you can’t show any support of Israel without being deemed complicit in genocide. Which, it isn’t. It’s war and war is hell. I think, especially in the West that most of us are so far removed from any type of war that we can’t tell the difference between a war and a genocide. Between a war and ethnic cleansing.
And the war in the Ukraine continues. You don’t have enough time in the day to take note of all the horrors. It’s still a very beautiful world, filled with light, but it feels like we are on a precipice.
