"Ninety years ago, the inhumane polices of Joseph Stalin and the Soviet regime created the "death by hunger." Today, Ukraine’s agricultural infrastructure is once more being deliberately targeted—this time by Vladimir Putin as part of his drive for conquest and power.", - Biden

I have the feeling too many Americans are just going “eh, whatever” about the Republican Party’s overt plans to remake the US into a theofascist state.

And please, don’t take that as anything other than a sincere compliment. I always appreciate good writing from thoughtful, intelligent people. I may not agree with absolutely everything you said, but you’ve given some things to think about.

At any rate, I understand and appreciate your courtesy and your thought-provoking comments. We all have biases, and I try very hard to address mine. If racism is an issue here, then I tend to believe that it’s directed towards both Israelis and Palestinians. You write beautifully, by the way!

Hmmm. Have you seen the rising antisemitism among progressives? You’d think that the left would be the first to expand ranks. Many country clubs in the US still don’t admit Jews. There has never been a Jewish president or vice president. Jews, especially Israeli Jews, have never been fully accepted.

For the most part, I agree with you. If Israel weren’t the most despised country in the world and the “dirty Jews” hadn’t been reviled and persecuted for centuries, then I’d be more inclined to see a racial element here. Most media outlets, including CNN, have been sympathetic to the Palestinians.

Maybe. I might buy it if Israelis and Jews in general weren’t as much “the other” as Palestinians. Jews, whatever their actual skin tone, aren’t included in the white man’s club. I suspect that if the situation were reversed, Jewish teenagers would also have been referred to as “young men.”

Seems kinda lost in all the reporting: We are currently aware of at least three hostages that we know were captured alive, and murdered by Hamas in captivity.

I used to think that Bluesky was the kinder, gentler, bluer alternative to Twitter. Now I wonder? I'm so shocked. I just ran into a number of pro-Hamas people, perhaps trolls, perhaps just vicious. One said she's sorry Stalin didn't kill my father. Another said he's happy the rave kids died. WTAF?

I agree with what you’re saying, btw. CNN should have referred to teenagers as teenagers, not young men. I just don’t think that skin color is the issue in this case, as was implied in the original post.

That’s funny. It was there a minute ago. I suspect that it will just make some more though.

Are you under the mistaken impression that Israelis are “whiter” than Palestinians? That’s not the case for the majority of the population. You’d have a better argument for Islamophobia, but there’s every bit as much antisemitism involved in this conflict.

I should have blocked his other account while it was there.
