I used to be very pro State of Israel, and to some extent, I still believe tha my early support was not unfounded. My support had nothing to do with holocaust surivors, but more of a people who have, for centuries, undergone egregious persecution in western countries, and that today, they have their own country, even though they have to constantly fight to keep it theirs. And free. Then came 10/07/2023, or rather, the reaction to the most awful, horrendous murder of Jews (and others) since the holocaust.
