Jewish Group

never praticed except for being in B'nai B'rith Youth Org in my teens... my middle kid has really dug into the community and goes to synagogue etc. I worry about their safety, because they are trans and openly Jewish in NC.

I have such a hard time reconciling my own feelings towards my Jewishness... I am horrified by the actions of Israel and Netanyahu in Palestine. And while I understand the terrorism has been going on for generations, that doesn't make any of it 'right'... and while I cringe everytime I see another open attack on people just trying to eat - I think about the long term abuse Jews have underwent, at the hands of both christians and muslims.

This article hurts.
Jews all over the world must have these feelings, but especially in the US...where the evangelicals want to support them for their own 'end times' purposes. AND, as you said so eloquently above, the Liberals wo wear a star of david in alliance with their Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ patches as well, not for real solidarity, but convieninece.

Don't know what the answer is, but this is a conversation we need to have as a nation. So much to be healed.
