Apologists from Israel absolutely hate hearing the truth about Israel's raft of war crimes from Jewish people.
That is why I like Jewish people like Jodi – they tell the truth about Israel.

Once again, at least five people blocked me right after comments critical of Israel and our support for the genocide and expanding wars.
I wish just one of these people would counter my points first before blocking. I'd love to hear some attempt at rational arguments for what is happening.

How are we better than the fascist dictator here? How does this align with Judaism's first principles of truth and justice? How can we critique Hegseth's war crimes without calling out our own? How does any of this hatred and killing make anyone safer?

I don't care if you block me. I truly do not.
What I am deeply concerned about is the increasing strain of fascism within a segment of my community that also covers its ears and goes home when they face any critique. It's untenable and immoral and I think they know it.

He'll have a lot to say about the "ethos change" that's occurred since the Pentagon's keys were turned over to faux Alphas "Kill Them All" Kegseth & CiC Decomposing Dictator Trump.
After 37 years, exit timing matters.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.
