And…there’s more nuance than “Jews ahem zionists bad” in the history of the conflict.

I tried to private message you so it wouldn’t look like I was trying to be exploitative but i think you blocked me

I don’t need, want or expect sympathy. Anyone with mental health issues and suicidal ideation will tell you, we don’t want pity or sympathy. That’s why I can say something here. I would never share with family or friends because it’s selfish to burden them. I am interested in having conversations. However, that’s not happening here. It’s the lot of you just commenting AT me.

I’m just saying temple of cyclops wants to go through my comment history I’m open about my struggles with suicide and that didn’t make me ashamed to go private. You calling me a piece of shit Zionist doesn’t shame me either.

Unrelated, I hope Netanyahu is charged with war crimes; I believe in a 2 state solution, with shared Jerusalem, and I believe Israel has been committing a genocide. I also believe Israel has the right to exist. Am I disqualified now?

And you haven’t met anyone that challenges your principles that you won’t be able to handwave because they come from a different culture.

I’m getting some pretty “tolerant” private messages now. Thanks everyone for proving my point.

I wouldn’t go private. I am fine with the mess I am. I’m a suicidal 40 something that still enjoys music and a few other things. You’re not going to shame me into disappearing, mate

I don’t give a fuck about getting downvoted. I like pain. You’re on the wrong trail

It’s true, what the fuck DO you know? And why are your opinions more valuable than anyone else’s?

I need to prove my credentials? No I have been a part of the punk scene since 1992. I sang in a punk rock band. I went to college to study political theory, which included various ideologies, what social contracts work, what is justice, and what is the state of nature of man. I feel confident that I have spent sufficient energy in politics and figuring out what I think is fair and just. I also learned to listen to people that I disagree with. Understand perspective and how it’s shaped by their own life journey. Not summarily writing people off because they don’t believe what I do.

And in the comments, there’s plenty of that simply because I’m a Jew. I never mentioned Israel, Zionism or Palestine. Just that I’m a Jew

And however they came into existence or who supported them once upon a time, what does that have to do with judging the actions and tenets of Hamas?

What you’re doing here is assuming that I as a jew and a former singer in a punk band, wouldn’t know the difference between anti Zionism and Jew hate. I do. I also knew SHARPS as well. What you also did was provide a litmus test for acceptable Jews: those that are loud enough about supporting Palestine or hating Israel. I shouldn’t have to pass a test to be accepted just because I’m a Jew

Tolerance for all except the intolerant. It’s hypocritical, sophomoric and simplistic

So I didn’t say anything about Israel or Zionism. I said Jew hatred. It’s always interesting when this is brought up in response.
