@VividProwess I have.. and I would again. I am Jewish and not remotely religious. Yet each trip to Israel has infused me with a sense of history and connection that is inexplicable and wonderful. It is an amazing country.
@Eve_Barlow I feel something similar.. although despising Trump came naturally because he is despicable. But .. I definitely feel something different.. like maybe despite the persona he manifests (🤮) .. this might work out.
@havivrettiggur Shana Tova Haviv. You have been so enormously helpful to me and countless others in understanding this conflict and in trying to find a glimmer of hope when it feels as though there is none. 🙏
@chase_rothe@Swiftor@SenSanders This is untrue. By your logic.. every Jew has dual citizenship with Israel. You are making the case that anti Zionist = antisemite
@GarThwDubh@DanLinnaeus@Heidi__Matthews It has been condemned and investigated by the IDF. Israelis are not the monsters you make them out to be. https://t.co/OlyUMShFJr
@OGAride I don't know how anyone can be cynical of children aspiring for peace and a better future. Will it help? Probably not. But hope and aspirations for a better future are better than wallowing in hatred and despair.
@Bharistocrat@HowidyHamza The current Israeli govt is the worst about this - they are in power with the help of the religious right who are crazy. Most Israelis and I believe most Jews in the diaspora hate what these “settlers” are doing.
@CogitoEdu@anesthesia323@CorenRichard@KG_Chief@BriannaWu That same phrase is on a plaque at Yad Vashem Holocaust museum, and at the memorial in The Hague itself for Dutch Jews murdered in the Holocaust. Do you think it’s a call to murder all Germans?
@J_L_Fairchild@stephenfhayes@CHSommers I’m a democrat. I feel your comment is divisive. If there is one thing many dems and reps can agree on it is “I stand with Israel.” The centrist democrats and republicans need a new party.
@havivrettiggur Haviv, you are my daily coffee injection (although not daily, I need more!) Before Oct 7 I was so conflicted about Zionism... fooled by my long tradition of a liberal upbringing (how can a Jewish state be a democracy???). And now, to my core.. I am unashamedly a Zionist.
@toddrichman@Israel I feel this so much, & I am so inspired by the spirt of Israelis.I want to ask you.. not to antagonize but to seek guidance.. on how to root for Israel, to root for the destruction of Hamas, and to reconcile that with the horrific suffering in Gaza.
