I've written a lot of blogs for work, but some I become very attached to -- this week's blog is one of those:

Israel has some racists/ultranationalists, I don't support them, but its a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the M.E. who actually fought FOR Axis. That doesn't mean it's all Palestinians or that they deserve what they are going through at all. But what is important is its the extremists who are in power. And they are responsible for the ongoing fighting. If anything it strengthens far right in Israel for need of a strongman just like idiots in US strengthen the far right here.

It takes countless hours, and so much work, to develop an accurate understanding of another person, their experience, and their perspective.

We have incredible resources here to help us communicate
But even with them, our fallible humanity makes it difficult.
Go gently. Patience helps.
