I try not to hate Palestinians and Muslims, not for their sake, but because hate eats you up from the inside. But it's hard. I'm certainly afraid of Muslims. Years ago, I was in a job working with some Muslims. And I liked them a lot and I thought they liked me. Now, I wonder what they think of me. What they did on 7 October. Were they rejoicing? Do they even accept that Hamas did anything or do they deny it? 75% of British Muslims support Hamas (I'm British).
Today I had a hospital appointment and one of the -- I'm actually not sure if she was a doctor, nurse, technician or something else -- was a Muslim in a hijab. And my heart dropped when I saw her after the Australian nurses and various NHS scandals. She clearly couldn't do anything to me, but I wondered what she was thinking. I'm paranoid now. I wasn't like this on 6 October 2023.
My grandparents tried not to buy German or Japanese goods after the war. That mostly stopped by the late 70s, when Germany and Japan became world-leaders in the production of cheap, but efficient cars and consumer goods, but they still weren't 100% happy about it. I didn't understand that attitude as a child, but I think I do now.
"I try not to hate Palestinians and Muslims, not for their sake, but because hate eats you up from the inside."
You're right. That's happening to me and I don't like it, but I could not repress what I felt after the confirmation of the Bibas family's death.
Also: I don't think leaders should be acting out of passion or hatred. Cold-blooded self-interest is the name of the game.
Re: We also have a lot of Muslims in health care. I can't say that I've had bad experiences, except one, and that was more out of ignorance of American folkways than antisemitism. But if I were British or Australian my heart would drop too, if I encountered one in a clinical setting.
Thank you. I have been saying this to my family, horrified about my "turn to extremism". I am not afraid to say it aloud, with you. I hate the "Palestinians" and everything they stand for. And I hate the cancer that has infected the West, and their mega-mosques, and their open disdain for our lives and our values. I want that cancer removed.

It sucks.

Fuck “Palestine.”
