You really should learn to read, and not be blinded by your hatred. But I won't hold my breath. You shit on everyone else not perfectly aligned with your perspective, even people calling out Isreal now. See how well that helps the situation.

Thanks so much. I have a lot to learn. And I don't 'want to know so badly'. I just want to know what I'm supposed to know. She's never communicated a huge amount about anything - often just a few words and then I'm expected to understand and I'm worried I'll miss something not knowing the trans world. I'm terrified that if I ask her questions it will come across as challenging or unsupportive. She suffers from anxiety and low confidence already. But she doesn't really have any real life friends, so I know I have to be there however I can.

I have no loyalty to Israel. Your blind disgust of anyone who doesn't 110% agree with your semantics just makes you sound ignorant.
I would agree that what Israel has been doing for a year now is genocide. Israel is attacking civilians with intent to destroy the people of Gaza for their religious/racial association. That's genocide. However, before this, their stated goal was to eliminate the military capabilities of Hamas. It was war. Hamas was firing unguided rockets at Israel, Israel was hitting Hamas targets (with a terrible disregard for civilians casualties from proximity or poorly determined targets). That's no more genocide than the UK bombing Nazi Germany's military production areas in wwii. Typical uses of the term genocide in the past have involved selective targeting of particular races within an area, and the intent to 'purify' the population. This makes it even a stretch to apply the term to Israel now but it's ambiguous because of the severe ethnic divide between Israel and Gaza. That said, there are plenty of Arabs and Muslims inside Israel (not including Gaza or wb). They are not being killed. They don't have full rights, so one might call this an apartheid.
So yes Israel is evil and should be stopped, but it's important not to be revisionist here, especially regarding the democratic platform in the last US election vis a vis Israel. Making such a distinction between now and then allows things to change for the better. We can allow people to change their stance and now push back on Israel, which is the goal - not just crying about being a victim perpetually and assigning blame.

Thank you so much for the in depth reply. My adult daughter is trans and I'm trying to learn about this world. I understand I shouldn't generalize, but I feel I'm unequiped to even have a frame of reference of what not to generalize. I don't know if my daughter is cis or lesbian; she had one relationship at college that ended with an assault on her. I'm not even sure if the relationship was romantic or platonic before the assault. The minimal info she told me about it she always used non gendered terms. Of course I don't want to pry, and I understand that my main function is to be supportive no matter what, but I just would like to know if there are baseline assumptions that I'm supposed to have.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. We need more good Nazis.

Time for some more Chamelling !

We've got a guy who's a wine distributor. On Halloween, adults get to try and compare a few different wines. Love it.

But pedestrians rarely travel that fast.

Insurance will cover most of it. And there will be more jobs as things are cleaned up and rebuilt.

Well you can call it that if you want, but no one has ever used that term for similar actions in the past. It confuses things. And it actually minimizes the word, giving it less power for now when we need it.
But it honestly sounds like you are happy trump won and you are good with the horrific results in the ME. You do you, I guess.

Yes, I certainly would think they are better experts. It's because of that that I'm curious as to why they release such details.

So they probably don't want gamers who yell at and punch their monitors? Well there goes my potential career.
