The current situation in Gaza and Israel did not come out of the blue. Read critical background left out of Jew nobbled lame stream media breaking news alerts…
By Kathryn Shihadah: On Oct 7, the resistance group Hamas did not invade a peace-loving country. To the Jews, it may have felt tranquil and carefree – they were dancing, raising families on tree-lined streets, planning vacations abroad. Palestinians are pretty much invisible, locked as they are behind high concrete walls and electrified, fortified, barbed wire barriers.
Jews have never experienced the kind of invasion they got that day. The roles are usually reversed. This time some Palestinians were killing, kidnapping, and causing panic, trauma, and unconscionable violence. Usually it is some Jewish Green Shirts and land thieves that perpetrate such acts.
The Jews’ experience – and that of their loved ones – is real and significant.
But many of us are dismissing Gazans’ experience out of hand.
If we believe in equality, in the presence of the imago dei in everyone, we ought to be troubled by this. Are the Jews' sins forgivable, but Palestinian sins somehow unforgivable?
We ought to make sure we have true and accurate information, and are responding to it responsibly. If we detect any bigotry in our perspective, we must work diligently to weed it out.
School is in session.
