I do know, believe me, in more personal ways than you would imagine.

But the fact that other people have suffered in the past is used as a justification only if you view the ones currently suffering as somehow deserving of it or not worthy of our empathy and caring as much as the victims of October 7th or the Mizrahi.

Your last sentence is heart-breaking to me. There is truth there and I'm sorry the world is as it is. I hope though, that we can find it in our hearts to see that it is not only Jews who have suffered and try to mitigate suffering and injustice where we see it. Can this war on civilians be ended and the suffering stop??
