As we get further and further along in this particular genocide, the emergence and reemergence of anti- holocaust and hero worship over resistance against the nazis, we, once again, slip into some sort of historical nostalgia that hardly anyone alive today lived through nor experienced.
The holocaust was horrible and those who survived or resisted it, especially in those countries who initially did nothing about it, or supported it, are brave indeed.
But as we witness the anti-semitic state of israel supported by the anti-semites of america, western nations, I'm wondering if there will be a day when all those gazans murdered not over the last year, but the decades preceding Oct 7th, 2023 will be seen as victims too. Thats history for you. You can't trust it but we got to have it, it's our memory.
Of course, americans will confuse the issue by some harming innocent jews in synagogues and others just trying to get some justice for gazans, which will be a lifelong project. If there is any "good" in all this it's that old joe biden, old donald trump have been thrown together into the same pot and will henceforth be going forward into the past together, hand in hand walking through the rubble of all they've done.
Just like slavery, native genocide and ethnic cleansing, anti-humanitarian practices, there will be some reconciliation but not enough to satisfy anyone.
This, of course, is not just an american problem because everything that happens is wrapped around the craving for money and resources. Look at the countries that thus far stood up initially to trumps deportation planes. There was bluff but once trump threatened sanctions and other economic punishments, capitulation was easy.
Believe me, there is not one blessed humanitarian nation on earth that can stand on its own against the international banking and corporate/fascist complex.
