  • I’m done pretending that the Nazi regime of Israel and the 3/4 of a century of oppression and slaughter of Palestinians deserves my sympathy. A lot of the immigrants living as Israelis killed and tortured the people they stole the land from. I say this as a Jewish immigrant whose family experienced actual antisemitism. I say this as the grandson of a Russian military commander who was stuck in the blockade of st. Petersburg when the Nazis starved and bombarded the Russian people for 2 years. My experience and knowledge of history is precisely why my ethnicity cannot be allowed to perpetrate the horrors against Palestinians.





  • My family agrees that Israel learned nothing from the fascism that their families escaped and fought against and believes Israel is committed to nazism against Arabs. But my ex’s family is the typical liberal Zionist family that attributes all of this at the feet of hamas and Netanyahu. It’s a form of delusion that prevents any dialogue about the subject. They read passages from the Passover Seder with absolutely zero connecting of the dots to the horrors the state of Israel is committing against a helpless population. It completely makes clear to me how Hitler came into power and it makes me sad.
