    Yup, that’s about the same time I started not volunteering anything about my Jewishness to anyone who didn’t already know. Based on the genuinely alarming shit I’ve heard from my neighbors over the last few years, I guess we’re back to hiding.

    I’m also way more afraid of white right-wingers than of any Palestinian-Americans. Even in my bright blue state, I can’t help but feel the hate all around.

    As for Palestinians, I feel nothing but solidarity and sympathy. If anyone should understand what they’ve been going through over the decades, ironically, it’s us Jews.

    I wish I didn’t have to say this, but targeting civilians is wrong. Full stop.
