Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)
Nobody is on the same page. We can't tell who the terrorists are. We can't identify genocide. Some have embraced anti-semitism. I mean, what's the answer?
I think it starts with being on the same page.
Being able to agree on certain basic terms like you mentioned.
For some odd reason that I haven’t heard a good explanation for yet, what’s happening to the people of Gaza isn’t a genocide. It seems we can’t even talk about it, much less agree on its definition — many just dismiss it from the get go without plausible reasoning behind why.
You could see why that would get frustrating.
Literal leaders in the subject, many Holocaust survivors and even Japan bombings survivors - have made this case.

Honestly?
I’d just love for us to actually have a conversation that digs into if the shoe fits, and only if the shoe fits…start there, and then go into other nuances.
I think that’s a starting point…..
A claim is made, so gather the evidence for and against with the least amount of bias interjected. I think most here ultimately care about truth, so we should strive to want to know that above all elseall.
