This is absolutely, unequivocally beyond inexcusable at this late date. I was once so proud to think it was you who helped me connect with my faith in the first place so many years ago. Now I feel nothing but shame, thinking of the moral apathy at the heart of your words.

I mean you literally made your message about "Human free will." Come the actual fuck on, how can you rationally sit here and say THAT was the lesson we needed to focus on in response to October 7th, and nothing about the massive systems of oppression that have existed for DECADES??

If you can't recognize by now that those people didn't die because of Hamas, that they died because Israel is an apartheid state and as such is an inherently violent system that must be dismantled, then I'm honestly not sure you ever will.

You say you want us to break free of binary thinking, yet it seems that is all you are capable of when it comes to examining this earth-shatteringly critical issue, sticking everyone into "good" and "bad" frameworks you yourself can't even fully articulate. I'm beyond disappointed in you now.

"Hamas came in, and because of them, 1,200 souls were slaughtered" is such an incredibly disingenuous framing of what happened on Oct. 7 that itself amounts to genocide denial at this stage. What does Hamas exist in response to? Who actually pulled the triggers that killed most of those people?

Between Blue and Red MAGA racing us into fascism as rapidly as they can, it's hard to argue against.

Thank you for reminding all of us about the banality of evil.

What's "fantastically naive" is voting for Harris and expecting it to do anything but continue us down the road we're already on.

Unless they're Palestinian women, then you drop 2000 pound bombs on them and everyone they've ever known.

If that wasn't the case, liberals would have been far more up in arms the last 3 years over the kids in cages and 4,000,000 deportations that have occurred under Biden/Harris, more than double what Trump accomplished in 4 years. But they did it all without using overtly fascist rhetoric.
