The truth, indomitable and unimpeachable, stands on its own.

AIPAC/Israel is, first and foremost, a clear and immediate threat to the safety of the world.

It is not a lie that men have agreed to buttress.

It is indeed the essence of our existence.

It is why the Matriarch is returning to her rightful place in the universe. Veritas.

It’s a shame that we in the comment section can’t share images. The scale of the atrocities in Syria over the past thirteen years is something people rarely talk about. Mass graves, entire communities erased — and almost total silence internationally. When the conflict doesn’t involve Israel, the global attention span seems to evaporate.

The disproportionate focus on Israel is also strange given its size and demographics. It’s a small state — literally something you have to zoom in multiple times to see on a map — surrounded by dozens of majority-Muslim countries. Scrutiny is fine, but it’s worth asking why only one country in the region is treated as the world’s primary moral test case while other ongoing crises get ignored.

Historically, the Jewish population in that region didn’t appear out of nowhere. Waves of expulsions shaped the diaspora long before the modern era: the Spanish Inquisition, pogroms in the Russian Empire, forced migrations under the Byzantines, and earlier shifts after the rise of the early Islamic empires. Jewish communities across Persia, Central Asia, and the Levant spoke Persian, Judeo-Arabic, Bukharian, and Syriac long before ā€œArab worldā€ became a blanket label for the region. Oversimplifying that history distorts the landscape entirely.

People often make similar generalizations about Latin America — treating it as one culture when in reality it’s a mosaic. My husband is from Uruguay; he didn’t grow up eating tacos, and he didn’t identify as ā€œHispanicā€ in the American sense. Migration patterns into South America were heavily European. These assumptions flatten real diversity.

For context, I’m a Bukharan Jew. My mother left Iran during the fall of the Shah, fully aware of what ideological extremism would bring. My family also follows the Baha’i belief that all faiths share a divine source. So none of my views come from hostility toward Muslims or Palestinians. Civilian deaths are tragedies no matter where they occur.

But selective outrage raises questions. Kurds have been targeted for decades. Syria’s civil war produced mass death and displacement. Families vanished; many ended up in mass graves. My friend lost relatives in that violence. There was barely a whisper about any of it.

Israel is a democracy with roughly two million Arab citizens. Muslim holidays are recognized across more than fifty nations; Christian holidays in more than a hundred. There is only one country where Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are national holidays. Arab citizens of Israel are not conscripted into the military unless they choose to serve, and the country has women in the Knesset and on its Supreme Court. In contrast, Iran still bars women from basic political participation. None of this erases legitimate criticism — but it adds necessary context to claims of ā€œapartheid.ā€

Holding Israel to a standard that no other nation in conflict is held to is not principled criticism; it’s inconsistency.

That doesn’t mean I think any government — Israeli, American, or otherwise — is above reproach. I don’t support everything Israel does. I don’t support everything the U.S. government does. I’m not aligned with either major U.S. party. The two-party system often fuels more division than solutions. Congress—regardless of party—has failed repeatedly to uphold its constitutional role, which is why down-ballot voting matters more than people realize.

Voters have the tools to verify claims rather than rely on talking points. USDA data on SNAP is public. Every Congressional hearing is available on Congress.gov, searchable down to individual speakers. People repeat viral claims without checking whether the statements were ever made.

My background is in international policy and counterterrorism analysis (2003–2013), and later domestic policy. I’m now working independently and planning to write more publicly, mainly to help voters cut through misinformation and understand the actual functions of our institutions.

As for Gaza, there’s no simple answer. Rebuilding without long-term security guarantees has failed before. Forced relocation is unacceptable. Durable governance is essential. The history of the region since 2005 explains why every proposed solution turns into a political minefield, and I’m planning to lay that out separately so the discussion can be grounded in actual history rather than slogans.

I’m so enraged. These sweet babies. Anyone who still thinks this is a ceasefire is willfully choosing not to pay attention. šŸ’”
