It never fails, every time there is any news with the word terrorist in it, any time there is an incident in the Middle East, any time there is political conflict, he walks into my office with a fire burning in his viens anxious to convince me: It is my people who are insane and my religion evil and the suffering of my people is the fault of every Arab and every Muslim. This sort of traumais the sort I can't take. I would like to argue, but why should I?
Why is it me who always has to defend? Why must I reason with the growing population of ignorant? I don't, so I sit silent and change the subject. That only stalls him long enough to turn on the TV and show me the news which he disects for blame. And my anxiety rises and my muscles tense. But what do I say? Every word of logic sounds like and anti-semitic rage.
He is not even Jewish, but an atheist. His love for Izrael is unnatural. and this is the kind of person who dominates the information age. I had to answer for Chechniya, for that day in September, for Bali, for Iraq and Iran and so on. What was the question? I'm not really sure. But noone has ever answered for Palestine or Lebanon except with the statment "Israel has the right to defent itself!" at times I just walk away, but other times I argue and every question I ask is answered with a question. there is no logic, its seems that he is only out to knock me down as everyone he has learned from tries to do. I've stopped argueing because I know certain truths that he will never admit to.
Today six muslim scholars were forced off a plane, humiliated, interrogated and released. Yet to him they are guilty, perhaps for being muslim scholar. And that's where his hate comes in. With hate there is no logic, no truth, no humanity. and there is hate all around. Although I think politics is bad it is still simple, there is give and take and compromise to acomplish your agenda. With hate your agenda is never compromised.
Now he changes the channel to Fox news and I type, ignoring him, untill the next news story.
