Supporting Israel and the price paid.

I came across an article on Medium today by Amiel Handelsman, an article supporting Israel. I wanted to comment and lend my support, but he’d blocked any more comments. And the same for his other pro-Israel posts. Some had comments supporting him, but some had the usual anti-Israel, antisemitic choir. After a while, you get worn down and you just close the chapter. I understand why he wanted to block comments.

I’ve done that myself, after a warning from Medium that I was getting obsessed with my stand. Maybe I was. Yes, I was drawing some flak from the propaganda wing of Hamas, but all of them got deleted by Medium. Call it a rope-a-dope tactic. After a while, though, you find your articles repeating themselves, and even more important, nobody is being convinced. This who believe that October 7 was a hoax, despite being the most recorded crime since the Holocaust, will still believe that.

Those who have forgotten all the about the hostages still being held in Gaza, and who think that discussing them at all is a form of Israeli hasbara , will continue to think the same.

By the way, it’s fascinating how whatever Israel says is considered hasbara ( explanation), but whatever Hamas says is God`s truth.

And those who believe that the Jews who struggled to arrive in what was Palestine, be it as refugees from Czarist Russia, Nazi Germany or their previous homes in Morocco, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, or Algeria , that they were all part of some grand colonial project, even if they received no help save for a bit of paper entitling them to call the land their own, if you want to believe that, then you are perfectly free to do so.

And you are perfectly free to enjoy life in the new, 21st century caliphate.
