great words. #7 is particularly haunting (and perceptive).

i think, though, there are two ways to interpret that.

there are activists about who want to free palestine who have developed a hatred for jews (although, the only hatred i've seen is directed at individuals and in the case of it being individuals i don't think you can call it anti-semitism).

but there is, and more widely, the perception of others. that is, people who do not support the freeing of palestine interpret their words are ''kill the jews''... i saw a documentary made from an anti-arab bias recently that illustrated how this perception works and develops. the people in the documentary did not illustrate it consciously but their own biases shone through.

Hello. I came here to look at your posts and read this first. I know you didn't write it but it's really amazing. I am an Israeli in Canada and I hear my father every day talk about how much the arabs hate us, as if there were no other emotion for them to feel. I don't believe him, and I never will, but I often just want to cover y ears and scream at everything...there is so much going on and I wish it would just stop and while I am not literally involved in it this war and every stigma surrounding it affects me and I choose not to take sides for fear I will explode.
