* At a “shabatt’ dinner i had with the Jewish half of my family, the topic of trump came up. Predictably, everyone at the table (except me, sitting silently) was denouncing him and saying how scary he was, and how scary a time it is that we live in, etc.
I couldn’t hold in my rage any longer, so i broke my silence and asked everyone at the table how trump’s policies for America differed from Israel’s current implemented policies.
“wow just wow are you comparing mexican immigrants to hamas!!!!!”
ugh….
“Israel is to build a fence equipped with advanced surveillance tools along part of its border with Egypt to keep out African migrants and illegal workers.”
They weren’t buying it: “Israel is the most accepting nations of all to refugees”, they said.
ugh…
Don’t try to reason with them. They are acting in their own ethno-nationalist interests. They’re not thinking. They’re feeling.
