If she's American, why would I? I know many Jewish people who would admonish me to lump them in with Israeli society. What I'm saying is that the basis of American and Israeli society is genocide, theft, and subjugation. This type of culture is of great detriment to the individual and the collective
And so, I can similarly relate, coming from a European settler heritage. Coming of age during 9/11 and the Global War on Terror helped inform my viewpoint.
My friend, you are lumping a lot of things together that really live in their own contexts and have their own histories. even if there may be some overarching commonalities, you are, imho, way overstating them for the purposes of this conversation.
I've studied these contexts and histories for 20 years, including academically. My only reason for bringing it up is in relation to the difficulty in using specific language with people who have been so insulated from their responsibilities to humanity.
