Always funny to me when people indirectly try to recruit me to confirm or project their bigotries.

Selective memory is pretty charming. Being sarcastic here.

Examples:

-Because I criticize Islam, people think they can tell me they have no problem bombing the middle east and killing kids..they forget that I have muslim loved ones and my sister was a Muslim. It sure is personal to me.

-Because I am against killing innocent civilians in Palestine, people think I would be fine with any form of anti-Semitism , forgetting that I am also Jewish by heritage, grandmother's. This also sure is personal to me.

-Because I am Jewish, people think I would just roll with Israelis genocidal agendas. Certainly not, and this sure is personal to me.

The list is endless.

I will often look at these matters from a personal perspective. If you want me to take out subjectivity from the equation, then you are incredibly delusional and being subjective yourself. Subjectivity can both inflate the ego and humble it. It is a matter of drawing distinctions, yet remaining consistent in core principles. Not about pure objectivity.

The human element is subjective. Giving it up is giving up your own value.

I understand this. Its like I have the right to say anything about the place where I grew up and the people I grew up with. Any outsiders that start badmouthing either are asking for trouble.
