Why is America trying to correct their disturbingly late response to Nazism by supporting Israel? Most of us recognize that October 7, 2023, Hamas’ attack on Israel, was a devastating day for Jewish people. A majority of Americans agree that Jewish people deserve a safe haven, yet many of us are disgusted seeing the people of Israel fall prey to their own far-right Zionist government. Israel’s far-right extreme Zionist apartheid regime is dangerous and destructive for both Jewish people and Palestinian people.
I find it catastrophic, as well as disgusting, that the American government would support Israel’s destruction of Gaza, especially considering America’s own grotesque history. I wrote a piece on Medium titled Ancestors of Enslavers Refuse to Acknowledge Their Genealogy, and looking at America’s response to Israel, I realize just how far we are as people from acknowledging any of our role in history.
