This is so disturbing and heartbreaking and so incredibly important to know. In posting this, I am definitely not saying that this includes all Israelis any more than all Americans are aligned with the sociopathic-narcissistic-fascist-wannabe-dictator Trump. And, that said, too many are in support of apartheid and the world's largest open-air prison which Palestinians have long lived and suffered under with extreme ongoing trauma.
Tragically, I am also moved to add and own that my government in the United States — whose founding is rooted slavery and the genocide of the First Peoples, the impacts of which very much continue today — has long mirrored the horrors and heartbreaks of colonialism, racism, dehumanization, oppression, endless war, and other faces of violence, trauma, and heartlessness. By no means is it just Israel.
There can be no solution for that which is denied or minimized. Humankind has a long ways to go to truly open our hearts and learn how to live consistently embodying values rooted in being both humane and kind. — Molly
