Just reflecting on one of these is soul-searing...

But there also needs to be some connection made to present events that are similar in horrifyingly atrocious.

So, the Holocaust, with the occupation of Palestine, and the daily killings of a population living under the conditions of a giant concentration camp...

What the American military is doing right now, via its support of Saudi Arabi'a bombings of Yemen...

There is no point in dwelling on atrocities of the past, if it does not galvanise people to prevent them in the present.

Hence, I for example, refuse to visit Saudi Arabia and enrich that fascistic , misogynistic state.

Yes, I pay the price by being rejected by 'Believing Muslims', but I think integrity demands I accept that price.

The problem with white liberals is they are all talk. They might as students, have been against the USA's military actions, coups etc but if they can make a career that is intrinsic to such actions of the State, they have no problem with that.
