54. I cannot express how angry it makes me

Mon Mar 9, 2026, 10:54 AM

Monday

I cannot express how angry it makes me that the sole Jewish state on the planet is led by absolute monsters.

Seeing Jewish symbols used in the oppression of Palestinians has been deeply disturbing to me. The first moment that shook me was noticing the Temple Menorah carved into the stone wall of a police station where my Palestinian friends had been physically abused. It felt jarring and painful to see a symbol with such deep spiritual meaning associated with a place of violence. I struggled deeply with the knowledge that children in Gaza were drawing pictures of Israeli fighter jets marked with the Magen David on their wings. The way these images became tied to their experience of fear and war filled me with anger and heartbreak. And the genocide has torn my soul.

Likud is now in the center. The extreme right has moved to the mainstream . And that is what Amalek actually looks like.
