I am one of a few Jews living in a small Norfolk town. I already have strikes against me being an autistic American with no friends who has experienced my car being "keyed", having two tyres let down, damage to recently installed fencing on my driveway. Now with this Israelie war and an apparent widspread refusal in the UK population to condemn the barbaric attack by Hamas as reported on our News media --- am I being unnecessarily anxious?
To be honest no sane person wouldn’t condemn that attack. Horrific. I’m no expert on the whole thing but I think most people can see that there are faults on both sides, and violence should always be condemned, and both sides are using violence. I’m sorry you’re feeling threatened at the moment - I hope your anxiety about this will soon ease. And I’m so sorry your car has been damaged - that’s terrible. No wonder you feel anxious. But I think most people in the U.K. will soon move on from the story - rightly or wrongly.
I agree with Kate. I cried at the news for both 'sides'. I don't really like the words sides.
