For what it's worth, that line spoke to me and felt accurate. You can't please all of us. As a liberal American Jew, non-Israeli, this conflict/war couldn't be more complex and more filled with grief. For me, it does feel like Jewish grief.
Meanwhile, there were other sentences in your piece that I think betray small biases and misunderstandings that stood out to me. But the point is this: I don't have the courage to write a piece like this. You did. It was beautiful and very needed. Thank you.
Yeah, that was definitely what I was going for with that word choice, and so I'm glad it landed for you, but I totally understand the unintentional implication that KB noted.
Oh and I should also say: youтАЩre under no pressure here but of course IтАЩd be down to hear about the elements here that betray potential biases and misunderstandings too. IтАЩm sure thereтАЩs a lot for me to learn from there.
Thanks for the note. I'll revise that sentence to highlight the distinction more.

Oh and sorry for replying to this part so much later- was reading from inbox and only now saw the second half of your comment.
