I think this should give some perspective on how I'm viewing the conflict in the Middle East.

My mom worked for Honeywell, well before I was born. She had to handle travel plans for a lot of the employees. Saudi Arabia was a common trade partner.

It wasn't just that no Jewish employees were allowed in the country. Even the gentiles, who had visited Israel, needed separate passports because the Saudis wouldn't let anybody in who had visited Israel.

That's a freaking ethno-state. That's a racist state.

Still, before Biden got elected, Israel and the Saudis were approaching some major diplomatic progressions. They were moving forward.

It doesn't stop there.

Egypt controls the southern border of the Gaza. Egypt pretty much allows Coptic Christians to be murdered with impunity.

It's not like Egypt is a particularly open, democratic, tolerant, accepting country. Still, if all out war breaks out between Israel and Iran, I don't expect Egypt to strike Israel at this point. They've been sensible enough to talk.

When you're chanting, "From the river to the sea. " for Palestine, to me, what you're doing is taking the Jew hatred, bigotry, and racism of Saudi Arabia and Egypt, multiplying it by a thousand, and saying, "That's what I want. That's the hill I'm willing to die on."

So, forgive me for calling bullshit when you try to tell me that you're "just anti-zionist" and you've got nothing against Jews. Saudi Arabia is more accepting of the existence of Israel than a lot of you racist pieces of shit who think that you're "progressive. "

Just stop it. Stop pretending that you're liberals. You're half-witted douche bags who are less tolerant of a democracy than you are of a nation that forces women to wear beekeeper outfits lest they get stoned to death.
