I’m so ashamed this man is the standard bearer of my party.
No matter which way you slice it, Israel is the Jew’s land. In the West Bank, I went into the caves they describe in the Bible where Jews would watch their feet. In Jerusalem, I stood on the literal stones Jesus walked on in Biblical times.
It was the Jews land now, and it’s their land today. And any project to erase that is based in Jew hate.
I don’t understand why Arabs hate Jews this much. The one bright spot after October 7th has been really getting to know Jewish culture, which is deeply inspirational to me as a trans woman. They refuse to be victims, refuse to see the world in terms of easy lies, and somehow keep a cheerful spirit. They have a fraction of the bitterness I do, and it makes me want to be a better person.
Why is why this Arab project to convince Americans to redo the holocaut seems insane to me. Why? It’s clearly based in their pride. They can’t handle that these people they enslaved eventually became so powerful though sheer force of will, they cannot be conquered.
I am a Democrat, but if my party doesn’t wake up and reject this plainly evil ideology, even I will leave. I will not be part of a political project to reenact the Holocaust.
