But yeah, if you want to take offense, have at it!

The 'unpacking' starts when you work out what such commemorations mean to people, and how they can be used to perpetuate Evil.

Commemorations of past wars, ethnic cleaning, etc are used across the world by many cultures.
Nothing wrong with that.
Meant to be a lesson in 'never again', yet here we are, doing it again.

I was always on the side of the new state of Israel, a brave new experiment, a homeland for the dispossessed.
A peaceful place for Jews to flourish.

But something went wrong. I now no longer recognise Israel as that 'brave new experiment'.
Israel is now, and has been for a long time, on a war footing.

Antisemitism, in all its forms, should not be directed at those who are not involved directly in what Benjamin N. and his followers are perpetrating.
