We were meant to be nomadic but then we got stuck in the sedentary approach a few thousand years ago and convinced to hunker down in place in order to hold down jobs to pay for the place we got stuck hunkering down in .
Are you a gypsy ….. no mad .

We can talk about both things but is it really politically correct to do so when bombs are falling on a civilian population ?
I generally respect your opinion and have enjoyed your posts but this we do not agree upon and I am fairy sure when you think it through you will understand my difficulties with it .
The fact that my reservation and outrage should be so quickly assumed to be racism and prejudice speaks for itself. Such thinking has gone a long weay to creating the events we now see in Gaza.

Is that where you stand on the bombing of a civilian population and decades of genocide ? It’s no worse than bad US health care policy ? Any idea how much infrastrucure has just been destroyed ?
40% of the Palestinian people live in exile and in refugee camps, the rest are dealing with apartheid or being starved and bombed in a fenced in ghetto in the Gaza strip with American weapons. I critize my own country does that make me unpatriotic ?
Israel’s interior minister said the goal of the military action is to send Gaza back to the middle ages .
And you think I’m outrageous for suggesting this post is inappropriate today and should have been postponed ?

Out of deference to the 100 dead and hundreds wounded in an occupied territory where innocent civilians are subject to bombing perhaps you could have waited a couple weeks for this post ?
Having spent the day with pictures of dead children in Gaza and taking a short break from watching a movie as part of my research on Turkey, before a trip I will be making there this winter, on the Armenian genocide, I found this post left me quite upset considering the timing.
Racism is ugly but so is insensitivity to those present victims of it and currently in distress. Such complete insensitivity to the horrible suffering occurring while we have this conversation seems at the least very callous.
The Palestinians are also people, they also deserve a little respect and that should be the focus of our attentions today, not anti semetism. The fact that so little has been learned after the holocaust by last years victims is staggering.
We are all due compassion and no race has a monopoly on hate.

I’m sorry but while I decry prejudice towards any group I find a post about anti semitism directed at a couple dozen dental students 36 years ago who were flunked out of school severely inappropriate considering that a starved civilian population in the occupied walled ghetto of Gaza is presently being bombed to the ground in a transparent act of genocide which has lasted decades perpetrated by European Zionists.
That this was posted at this time is entirely insensitive and quite revolting.
