 Love this, Lyn! I'll be dropping in here more frequently thanks to this post. 

Here's a raw, controversial train of thought:

Zionists and other extreme factions of the Israeli state (not all Jews) are doing to Palestinians what the Nazis (not all Germans) did to the Jews, only in a more deliberate, controlled, strategic, long-term manner.

I'm sure some German Jews took sometimes violent countermeasures when being expropriated, and I'm sure Nazi propagandists took the opportunity to say something like "See? These Jews are violent on top of being in control of the banking systems and businesses. This is proof that they want to control us, make us their slaves and kill us all, so we have to do it to them first!"

Then the Ben Shapiro's of the world gleefully and uber-ironically cheered on the Nazis as they rounded the Jews up into the trains.

It's deeply sad and disturbing to see this happening in real time as if no one has learned anything, ever, except technologically.

Now I'm gonna go drop a singular tear, wipe it up and carry on supporting my family without telling them a single word about this.
