100%, Karen! I also lived in the Middle East (Libya) during the 6Day War and for many years after that. I think it gives us a different perspective than most. Your post was one of the most well thought out, reasonable takes on the situation that I’ve read (and I’ve read a lot). In this situation, as in many others of late, my core instinct is to look at 1. Who funds this? 2. Who supports this worldwide? 3. What are the alternative actions? 4. What would I do?
On a personal level, it’s impossible for me to support any organization being touted by the same radical leftists that brought us, or supported, the Covid lockdown hysteria, BLM, Antifa, etc.
It wasn't just "radical leftists", though, was it? On the contrary. The Israeli government can hardly be described as such, nor the British. It's way too easy for the left to blame the right and the right the left, and many of us don't even know what those terms mean anymore. But it's clear that this is what we are supposed to be doing.
