Yes, I am saying that attacks on Americans who have nothing to do with the military or government and who don't support American violence propagated by the American government and military is like attacks on Jewish people who don't support Israeli violence propagated by the Israeli government and military.
While it's not 'exact', because the 'identifier' in attacks on Americans is 'shared nationality' and the 'identifier' in attacks on Jewish people is 'shared religion', nonetheless, members of some Venn diagram group are being attacked by ignorant and stupid people who object to things that others in the group are doing.
You 'see' what you want to see. You don't want to see me pointing out WHY stupid people do stupid things. You want to SEE me agreeing with stupid people, so you do. And so you see me as 'victim blaming', rather than what I'm actually doing, which is pointing out the 'reasoning' behind what the stupid people are doing.
It's not MY reasoning. I'm pointing out THEIR reasoning.
But go ahead and 'be ill' and think whatever you want about me. You will anyway.
