This is only my second post about the war between Israel and Hamas

37. We all understand your shameful inference. But here's a thought. I'm a Jew. I have family in Israel.

I have connections to hostage families. My concern right now is what is happening. I don’t have to justify why I post on a particular subject here. And doesn’t make it true that because I care about Palestinians I therefore don’t care about any other suffering in any other country including our own. If I - or anyone else chooses to,post about something - that does not mean that I or anyone else don’t care, work, donate to other causes.

Let’s put it another way. My husband has multiple myeloma. I have done a lot of work for that cause. I do a little for brain cancer as I lost a friend to that. Also some work for breast cancer as I have had that. But less than multiple myeloma. Doesn’t mean I don’t care about pancreatic cancer. Or diabetes. It’s just what I do. It’s not my job to give to the causes that you choose for me.

So post about what YOU want. You don’t have any right to regulate people’s compassion. And the OP wrote about compassion. Their piece was about their compassion. Sorry its wasn’t the compassion YOU wanted. But it was not antisemitic as you implied. And selectivity is what happens on a message board. So either go to a forum that writes about what you want them to. Or write about your concerns. Your snide inference about antisemitism was disgraceful and unwarranted.
