@shdeen@WajahatAli I, as a white looking woman, encounter sexism almost daily but I only experienced racism twice.
Let me tell you, my behavior changed after less than a week of this treatment. This made me understand why people would become bombers.
@shdeen@WajahatAli Reading your answer though, I realize I need to clarify certain points:
I’m a European and from an educational POV that counts a lot.
I went out of high school with a pretty good understanding of history, geography and geopolitics.
@shdeen@WajahatAli Then, I suppose he said it better than I would. They are a colonized people without hope or options.
What would you do if you were in their shoes?
I’m not saying that to be antagonistic. I have interfaith friendships and I won’t ever minimize the plight of the Jewish people.
@shdeen@WajahatAli Shulem, I read your truly beautiful and inspiring memoir, so let me sincerely ask you:
Why should a people who suffered intense persecution for centuries be given the right to, in turn, persecute another people?
