@skaly You’re never going to be able to avoid “getting political” as long as you continue to identify that way. I’m American, and both USA and Israel are colonial settler states, and we need to not look away from that. It’s easier to be American, in that much of our conquering and genocide of native populations are (largely) outside living history, but Israel doesn’t have that luxury. There aren’t a ton of folks left who remember the 1950s, but their children are still around.
