Like many white Democrats in the US, I am also appalled at the actions of the Netanyahu government. I understand our government's support of Israel, and I feel for the history of the Jewish people, but their treatment of Palestinians is horrific. As an atheist, I see that religion poisons everything. If the Jewish settlers couldn't say "God gave us this land," they would have no justification at all.

There is no way to reason with people who claim to have God on their side: they don't have to negotiate or empathize or compromise. Our own evangelicals are just as bad.

Mona, when many POC not just white Democrats have been blaming those not supporting Harris as well, or jubilant about Harris despite her vehement support of genocide, we are not seen by them either.
