Israel/Palestine

When my friends and relatives in Israel are afraid that the Israeli experiment may be coming to an end because the government cannot protect them, when I am sending my child to college next year where she may face violence because she is jewish, when Israel was created because half of the world's jewish population was gassed to death in real concentration camps, when I feel that this country may no longer be safe for me and my family, but we have no where safe to go, I call that existential.

I am sorry that you feel this is bullshit, my friend.

When I say ideological, I mean you don't have actual skin in the game other than being a fellow human being, which certainly counts for something. But, you are not jewish and you are not arab muslim, you don't truly know what is in my heart or theirs, so you frankly don't really know what you are talking about.
