Hi Karl,

Do you mean how do we deprogram people who have been brainwashed in this kind of cult?

I've noticed an evolution in Jewish people over the past forty years or so. Word on the street was ya, they're great people, but just don't bring up Israel. And that seemed to be the norm.

And I remember when the first Jewish person I knew came out and said he didn't support Israel, and it blew us away!

It seems that so many Jewish people now don't support Israel -- the Jewish people online and off are against what Palestine is doing.

However the genocide is still occurring with most in Israel supporting it. I wonder how we speed up the process that I've seen building gradually over the decades.

I also wonder if there's a class component to this. All through history, atrocities have taken place that were justified as civilizing or getting rid of bad people or something, while taking over land and resources. There were people who were aware of this double standard but were comfortable with it. That attitude is hard for me to grasp, but I see it in many ways in some upper middle class people who feel superior and entitled to certain other classes, races, etc.
