Looking at Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. They were always crying how a 6 year old Arab kid throwing rocks at a tank is worse than the Holocaust. They then blow up his daycare center and send a Settler to build a home over their ashes.

If they could do that, imagine what they think about the rest of the world?

Edit: Another is watching Israel support both sides of a conflict. Like the Nigerian Civil War.

Looking at Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.

This conflict and hypocrisy was a major part of my awakening too, starting in 2000. Then in 2004 I dated a Syrian/Palestinian naturopathic doctor over a couple years but I didn't learn much about it from her I hadn't already learned. But it wasn't until about 10 years later that I dived into all of it more.

Man, if I'd known then what I know now, I might have navigated Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, New York, Austin, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver a little better.
