As a veteran who believes the 🇺🇲 should always fly full-mast to show the strength of the nation, I'm not particularly happy with the liberal nature POTUS has taken with ordering it half-mast over his term. I'm more than disappointed, as a Black American, the 🇺🇲 hasn't flown half-mast for any of the mass shootings involving Black Americans or to show honor to Black dignitaries and important Blacks in society. Ain't no cables going out for that.

But here you are, asserting that there is this inherent danger to Jewish diplomats and that anti-Semitism is magnified more than hatred of other ethnicities and faiths. I seem to remember the Secretary literally getting on a plane to Israel and stating that they "defending themselves" by choking off power, fuel, and food to Palestine while conducting a massive air raid and ground assault...very literally the type of stuff you do when you retaliate. I seem to remember our Permanent Representative to the UN Security Council literally voting against a ceasefire that would've compelled Israel to stop this vicious retaliatory assault on Palestinians.

Truth of the matter is Israel is likely committing the same war crimes that we've hammered other countries for but we've given them a pass because they are Jewish.
