It is a disturbing trend. While you may dislike the government of Israel and their policies, your dislike should not devolve to the average Israeli or their religion. You can say the same thing for all countries.

In America our ruling class has all but forgotten the working class in favor of big political donors. We should be careful in lumping average people in with corrupt politicians. Spreading division and hatred plays right into their hands. JohnBarleycorn

QUESTION: Thank you so much for your insight and for Socrates~~~I am wondering why you lend any energy at all to Ocasio~~~she is both stupid AND dishonest~~~yet I think from my experience reading you that you may have some logic. Tnx, JGE ANSWER: She actually has a greater following than Schumer or Pelosi, and they seem to be letting her run wild. My discussions in Washington were enlightening. There are many people in the Democratic Party who actually think their people want more taxes and agree with her New Green Deal. Their corporate sponsors will run in the other direction. The real damage is being created because this only adds to the polarization we see in 2020. Long-term, there is ZERO hope of ever getting back to a normal government. We have entered the realm of hate politics.

It has nothing to do with who the industry is controlled by, and has everything to do with who it is enabled by. Those who ignore or make excuses for human trafficking (slavery) are as guilty as the pimps and johns. The media and politicians who promote open borders are tacit enablers who act like they care about immigrants. Millions of dollars are paid to cartels and corrupt politicians by these slave traders.
