...I also boil with anger when I see what Israelis are doing to Palestinians...I also ask myself, "How can they turn around and abuse and persecute Palestinians so, when it was only a few years ago when they were the persecuted ones...I also saw those photos a while back juxtaposing photos of Palestinian children suffering the same way and with the same looks that Jewish children had at the hands of Christians.....I also believe people should be held accountable for their actions and that what Israelis are doing should be laid squarely at their own door....but...

I also know about the law of "duress" that says a person can be excused responsibility if they were forced to act unlawfully. I am pleased that the law in America finally recognized that a woman can be so badly abused, in every way, that she can be legally forgiven for killing her male tormentor....that was a big step forward in justice and human rights and compassion and understanding and forgiveness for what would otherwise be seriously punishable crimes, crimes we all condemn, ordinarily. And that's exactly the point; someone, a woman, or a man, or a people, can be so abused as to be pushed beyond human endurance...what Jews have suffered at the hands of Christians has no precedent in human history...it is as far from "ordinary" as can be.

I know Christians would like nothing more than to get me to join their hallelujah chorus, have me fall in line and condemn Jews, or the woman, without seeing that it is the same MAN who is behind the abuse...that the woman, or whomever, is the victim, and he has succeeded in getting me to hate HIS victim, almost as much as he does, as if that victim were freely acting in these ways. But I won't take the bait.

We forgive Iraqis, as we forgave the French in the 40s, even for committing murder, when it was against their occupiers, their abusers. But how are Jews to fight back against their ACTUAL abusers...the Christians?

Jews have been abused, to the point of having their brains permanently scrambled, by Christians for 1000 years...almost as long as women have been abused by men....and longer than Blacks have been abused by whites...and where were Jews to go? What Jewish nations would give them comfort and security, or even fellowship? What Jewish country, in 1000 years, even existed? There is only one and it came into existence because the Christian willed it so....because he finally found them a "camp" and forced them all into it, and out of his backyard, something he'd been trying to achieve for centuries...and have they ever been free from that same Christian since? Is it even really "their" country?

Jews know damn well who their real persecutors are and it must gall them that they have to make nice with the same people, and worse, turn their anger towards innocent Muslims....especially when they do so at the COMMAND of that same Christian, and have to take even MORE shit for doing his bidding; having to hear it said that "Jews are TOO powerful to resist" and "if only we could CONTROL those free-wheeling Jews who do as they please...."...and "oh how we WISH they would stop provoking those Palestinians".

Bullshit, pure and simple. The same bullshit Christians have used for over 1000 years....I'm not going to condemn the victim....I'm not going to condemn the woman, I'm not going to condemn the Black man, or woman, in their fight against the same racism in this country that has always existed...I'm not going to fall for "we don't say nigger any more..."and I certainly refuse to condemn Iraqis.

Just not going to do it........
