💯- I feel you. Like you, everyone around me is tired of me talking about it, reading the history, recounting the horrors, our complicity - and they’re all surprised when I say “IT’S NOT COMPLICATED “ goddamit!
Have you seen this interview from 2017 I think - with Eran Erfati and Abby Martin? It’s long but so insightful - I had no idea Arab Jews in Iraq, etc. were forced/ terrorized to move to Israel. But this soldier’s explanation of the cycle of violence is so instructive. https://youtu.be/FkxJd88xkBU?si=dOVzbo7CGGVxX4QU
Oh yeah. False bombing campaign to instill fear in them and to claim "unsafety" so they would have to move and settle in Izz. It's unreal how transparent their horrific, manipulative tacts have been for 100 years now, yet the world refuses to see it for what it is. Or to correct myself: the world is blackmailed and manipulated into not "seeing" it.
very relatable, also more than a week into February in many ways. Thank you for writing this. C.
Thanks for reading, Chris!
Every word hits home—I feel this.
Scared to even think what the 2025 will roll out for us all

Bingo!
Very visibly clear who the occupier and the occupied is = it's complicated.
