For the record, you’re right after all, I was assuming things about Israel (that it’s a country with more than one generation of people having lived there lol) that are apparently untrue.
What you said about them all having more than one citizenship, is really interesting and telling of the reality there.
This is the comment of the interaction I realized how that place just isn’t a normal country.
Society being roughly the same thing with nationality, is just the truth of other, poorer places. The privilege to “be able to leave”, is not universal, and also currently under attack btw, which is why I was wrongly trying to extend grace to such people over there.
Israel is a fake country though, apparently (not snark, I mean it word for word), and I was extending grace to a 100 year-old settler-colonial rich-guy sadism-retreat.
You are a good person who took criticism that contained anger and looked it up instead of blindly repeating what you’ve previously heard just to win an argument. I was not the most graceful, but you considered what I’m saying instead of how I said it.
I’ve tagged you as an actual ally. I hope we can fight for a better future together.
