Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

If only there were a group of people in that part of the world with a history being uprooted, persecuted, and forced to move across an entire continent as an 'undesirable race' that could sit down and explain why forced migration and genocide are a bad look for the Israeli Government.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Like several others I know, I'm planning on deleting my Meta related accounts in the very near future.
