You have bravely gone through an unimaginable process, but I have a feeling that you are trying to lead an approach to purifying Islam for impure motives
Perhaps it is motivated by love for your partner who is from a Muslim home, or perhaps from a motive related to embracing a certain audience,
What is clear is an impure motive that causes you to continue writing posts only against Jews even at the expense of denying reality and current and historical facts,
And this is probably the reason that to this day you have not responded to me substantively to any of the responses I sent to your posts,
I feel sorry for you, dear friend, and I feel sorry for you, dear friend, and I hope that you will find your way out of the spiral you have entered and that I can get to know Daniel, the rational, wise, and beloved angel, again!!
So many addictions that are not even realized…the endless sieges on Palestine, the way we become addicted to consumerism and captialism…so many things that don’t have any “fixes” like a nicotine patch or rehab for alcohol/narcotics. You’re doing the work - waking up and decolonization are hard to climb out of.
Every civilization tells itself it's fighting its last war. Every addict lights their last cigarette. The lie isn't weakness, it's the only way the mind gives itself permission to keep going. The real healing begins when someone like you names it out loud. الألم الذي لا يُسمَّى لا يرحل , يتنكّر ويعود في أشكال أخرى.
"Pain that goes unnamed doesn't leave, it disguises itself and returns in other forms."
Great comparison! The "last one" could go on forever --- unless one wills it to be that.
Thank you.
Insightful metaphor! You are an excellent writer, Daniel!
The wonderful and special Daniel

Tommy, it’s a reflection. What you see in it is yours.

The deadly cycle of vengeance addiction and the evil weed tobacco. God deliver us from evil.

A friend of ours, an Israeli, used to visit us on weekends during our Canadian summer, and he always used to smoke and drink a lot of beer.
We had no way of knowing at the time, that he was doing this for exactly the reason you describe in this post.
However, it turned out he found a measure of comfort/relief spending time in the company of a normal, happy young family...
Knowing what I know now, I am thankful that we served a purpose in his healing process - without even being aware of it.
That's true
And I think if you saw it differently than me you would have responded to my comments in a matter-of-fact way..
Your lack of responses indicates that you agree with me, but your goal is probably not to find out what is right..
And it's a shame that's the case
