   I've hated Israel so much and for so long.

   When I turned against Irish nationalism in middle school, and said "wait, all ethnonationalisms are wrong," people would interrupt with "Israel has a right to exist!"

   When the Patriot Act was passed I said "no state can protect you" and they interrupted "ISRAEL HAS A RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF!"

   When I tagged "migrants welcome: abolish borders" over caged children, you guessed it, "NO JEW IN THE WORLD IS SAFE WITHOUT ISRAEL'S TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY."

     And now that Israel is undertaking a much more active genocide, and images of people burned to death in hospitals is actually circulating. Now that the world is seeing the grotesque nationalistic horror I witnessed as a child when zionists laughed about Rachel Corrie pancakes.

     Now the non sequitur interruption is "even noting that Hamas is reactionary is counter-revolutionary and pro-imperialist!"
