 I look forward to hearing your thoughts, Lyn. 

As someone who reflexively distrusts media narratives and typically isn't sure what to believe on social media, I don't have enough info to form a solid opinion. 

I think I'm being manipulated to hate the people of Gaza (but I don't) and only view Isreal as a victim (I don't). I'm sympathetic to people that seem to be stuck in an open air prison. I'm skeptical of the story told about the initial assult but whoTF knows.

I have PTSD from American wars in the middle east...the infinity wars need to end. At the end of the day, rather than sort out who to be enraged at, or who is right, I simply peacefully opt out by storing my energy in Bitcoin and focusing on my family and my craft. 

To the war mongers, I respectfully say GFY, I'd rather not participate in your fucked up games. 

I'd prefer not to.
