That's not necessarily a correct assumption, Julie, I'd probably say something similar but not because you are Jewish but because much that is evil, that has and is happening currently in the ME, is caused by the US Govt. Without US Govt weapons, money and support, the Gazan genocide would not be possible, nor would what has just happened in Iran. Netanyahu and his gang of criminal terrorists would be history and you would not be sheltering from Iranian missiles. Ditto Hamas which is a reaction to 70 years of dispossession and abandonment.
We can say the same about Iran - the current murderous regime is arguably in power because of the US inspired coup against Mossadeqh in 1953. I just returned from Iraq where the majority of Iraqis I met have endured 20+ years of turmoil directly due to the illegal Bush war. I could go on, but won't, except to say that the US is not alone. Had the UK not totally abdicated its responsibility to Palestinians in 1946 and afterwards, we wouldn't be where we are now.
Wow, antisemitism lives and breathes unfortunately. Stay safe. There’s a difference between a people and their leaders. Maybe it was against your president donald. Right
Thank you for updating us Julie. I’ve thought about you and your family since the Israeli strike on Iran. I’m glad your son got to have his special day before this all happened. I can only imagine the concern of how you are to get back home. Thoughts and prayers going your way for you and your family’s safety while in Israel and in finding your way back to the US again. 🙏
It's antisemitism yes, but it's more the new face of the progressive left on anything that disagrees with their view of the world. Doesn't matter if the issue is gender or race or religion, the hard left is cheering for hate and destruction. Sad.
Or could equally be a criticism of the United States, the great enabler of the Israeli state (not Jews). And, no, the left is not cheering for hate and destruction - that is largely the province of the far right (see Trump, Putin, Netanyahu etc)
Mazel tov to your son. Praying for peace and your safe return. Your notes on the experience are of interest; one cannot imagine being caught in the crossfire, with their kid, and having the US Embassy “closed.” Sorry others are hateful in their responses. I am curious whether the missiles redirected from Ukraine to the Middle East are now protecting Israel. Zelenskyy was outspoken about expecting them to protect his cities. Safe return and keep posting!
If any US armament is being used by the US to protect Israel, it would be from the guided missile Aegis cruisers and not land-based SAM's. Israel has its Iron Dome system, which is probably not compatible with US systems such as the Patriot.
Thinking about you every time I see news... please stay safe. So glad you managed Zach's Bar Mitzvah before this started. At least/unfortunately your Catholic husband is getting the full experience 🤦♀️. How is Zach holding up?
Ah Julie who could have expected such timing?? I’m glad you had a beautiful celebration, you have those very good memories. Don’t take those negative comments to heart. They managed to pop up everywhere these days, but don’t let them touch you. Keep us posted and keep the faith! We hold you in our hearts until you arrive back home safely.🩵🩵🩵
Yeah, looks like the Purity Test Police don't like you. We do!!!! Be safe!!!
Julie, I just read the Point/Counterpoint with Mike DuHaime. This time, he crossed the line by doing the unthinkable:
You said "hoagie" and he said--emphasized!--sub!
How can you EVER deal with him again??
I hope that you and your family continue to remain safe, and that conditions improve enough to permit you to come home soon.
Wishing safety and safe travels to you and your family!

And had George III granted the colonies equal representation in Parliament, we would be a Commonwealth nation now.

Stay safe Julie! I pray you get out of there soon!
Please stay safe. Praying for you and your family.

My heart is with you and your son, Julie! I am grateful the celebration in the heart of Jerusalem went as planned!! Be well and safe Home!! ❤️

Which, ironically, is exactly the same as the hard right. Or as JB Books (AKA John Wayne) put it:
"Two sides of the same counterfeit coin!"
Thank you for sharing, Julie. Take care and come back safely.
Stay safe.

He's ok. Thanks, Jaimee. My Catholic husband got the full Jesus experience, before he got the full war zone experience. :)

Glad to hear that you're safe. You've been failed by the US State Department. (CLOSED FOR THE DAY??!?) The trolls can all fuck all the way off!
