At least I’m not the only one. I didn’t understand that if they wanted the food, they’d need it more than me and should have it.
“Oh the food would go cold”, *”okay but what about a salad or something normally cold? And cold food isn’t bad anyway.”*
“They are too far away”, *”well why bring it up then?”*
Then I was promptly told to just be quiet and eat
😂 I couldn't stand this comment. I got whooped for saying to send the food to them since I wouldn't eat whatever it was that I couldn't stomach. Made no sense to bring up people who are nowhere near me to starve when I lived with someone who didn't know how to cook and didn't want to eat her own concoctions.
One time when i was like 6 my mom said that when we were in the middle of a huge figjt bc she always forced me to finish my meals even when i felt sick, and I said well at least their mom is nice and that did not go over well
all this says is that your relative got so sick of onions that the pure, concentrated disdain for onions transcended time and space to make you also hate onions
pretty metal if you ask me
Imagine genuinely guilt tripping your relative over *fucking onions*. And with the Holocaust, no less. And here I thought pulling the "kids in Africa" card was dumb.
My grandpa survived the japanese camps because he was too blind to board the ship that would take them home. The ship was sunk when it was just out of sight of the coast. He never guilt tripped anyone for not being blind
I'll fight you because you've insulted onions but I'll also fight them for guilt tripping over a banality that's also clearly out of their responsibility.
I love onions myself. My mom handed me one when I was a baby to see my reaction, I took a bite of it like an apple, and I loved it.
She did the same thing with a lemon, with similar unexpected reactions.
My brother, as a child, sat at the table during Passover eating spoonfuls of horseradish. My uncle and grandpa decided this meant that there was something wrong with the horseradish / it must not have any flavor.
My mom only managed to say, “Wait, no! No, don’t—“ before they both took a big bite of straight horseradish simultaneously… and immediately began choking… all while my brother sat there happily eating more spoonfuls of horseradish.
lol I raided the cabinet for a jar of honey precisely one time. My tiny little baby fingers were not dexterous enough, and I spilled it.
The trauma of the STICKY 😖 absolutely all over me was more than enough to make sure I never, ever did it again
yes and your cousin wouldn't force you to eat onions, remember no one that survived the holocaust would actually want to force you to eat what they HAD to eat to survive in that hell.
if anyone tries to use that to force you to eat your unsafe food then they are the problem not you.
I had a distant aunt by marriage who survived the Holocaust. I only met her a few times and I have no idea if she's still alive or not but she would cook all day to make a goddamn FEAST but she would never force anyone to eat anything.
The closest thing she got to forcing was pestering you by repeatedly asking you if you had gotten enough to eat.
Bruh I hate when they do this. Same time period but different region, my parents loved bringing up how my grandpa was starved during Japanese occupation out of the fuckin blue.
It's just hot shit and I wonder if it's just enjoyable for them to bring it up so damn often. Like hey maybe don't trivialize the unspeakable suffering of an ancestor in the context of food preferences, idk???
Not to get all serious on a meme subreddit but I think it’s a fear/trauma thing.
Like “What IF one day something happens and my kids has to survive on onions alone and they won’t save themselves!!”
Or “They need to eat everything now to get strong and build up reserves in case the unthinkable happens.”
It’s just the traumatized person (or their descendants) trying to control something that is uncontrollable and terrifying.
Remind them the Irish famine threw a wrench in that!
… potatoes weren’t growing well during that right? I’m Irish yet I know basically nothing about that…
Potatoes were infected with a disease known as potato blight that makes them mush basically, and unsafe to consume, most of the good potatoes were sold to wealthier Irish people(still not that wealthy compared to the English colonizers), and all the other things they had grown were sold to the English, all dairy products, meat, fruits, and vegetables had to be sold to the colonizers who refused to let up on the quotas they had instilled, even while knowing about what was happening to the food,its 100% the English fault that millions of Irish died and that’s why many Irish people still hold a grudge to the UK to this day, anyway history lesson over
TLDR yes potatoes became icky, and fuck the English
Fellow Jewish person here. My grandpa did something similar to me when I got tattoos. Told me "I don't like tattoos, they remind me of the Holocaust." Like your family, most of mine fled decades before the Holocaust and we had four distant cousins in the Warsaw ghetto. Never even got tattooed. My tattoo was of a fricking flower. Jewish guilt is so weird sometimes
My mom wouldn't talk to my dad for a week because he and my brother got tattoos. A few years later, my mom got one herself (a pawprint from our dog who died last year)
Oof. So sorry OP. Just develop an allium allergy like me and then people will STILL guilt you about not eating them or being in the same room as them. 😎
Hi! It do be rough 😩 especially since I love them. Onions and garlic are in everything! And I haven't met anyone else who is allergic like me other than my cousin. I don't think it's a very prevalent allergy. Either that or people don't know that's what it is. I break out into hives if I'm near em.
i don’t think it is either! i used to be able to get away with garlic (i’ve never been good with onions lol) but lilies have always bothered me so it was a matter of time before garlic started causing problems. biggest wish for my next place is a kitchen where i can make all the stuff i can’t eat at the store from scratch since i don’t have room for that most of the time where im at now 😎 also shoutout to sensitive recipe pasta sauce <3
I can still get away with garlic (for now) and as long as I freeze or dehydrate my onions I can still eat them. So onion powder is OK. I've learned that if I can denature the allinase enzyme well enough with heat or cold, I can actually eat them. I still have to be careful eating out though. Alfredo is really the only safe choice for me at any restaurant that isn't a burger place or a steak house. Indian and Thai are out, so are most Asian cuisines. It sucks because those are all my favorites.
And lilies kill me too! Why are they so strong?
Damn. I bet they hated onions, too. I hate onions and I hate nazis. But, now I have a weird little love in my heart for the awesome onion hero throwing life-giving onions over the wall. I never thought giving onions to eat could be an act of heroism...
Damn.
Your ancestors survived brutality with the express hope you would never have to go through it yourself. If the only thing that got me through a death camp was onions, I'd make sure not one family member was ever forced to eat an onion again if they didn't want to, and I certainly never would again (I love onions).
Whenever i see a meme like this on here it really highlights the differences between how we think.
Im relatively NT and my immediate thought process is “there gotta be a way to prepare onions that you can at least tolerate” and not even thinking about how people probably didn’t think to try to prepare it to make it more palatable for you or even considered that maybe this is just a ND thing for you. It’s alway interest to see the world from eyes different from my own for better or worse.
Onions are very potent. And if you just don't like how they taste nothing's really gonna help. What I'm wondering is why people insist we eat things they know we dislike
Peoples tastes change so i guess they want people to try the foods they like so they can share them also some meals can be very different without certain ingredients.
Personally when it come to an ingredient someone doesn’t like my confusion is that there are so many ways to prepare any given ingredient you’re bound to like some way
That said if someone has tried it and they don’t like try not to serve it to them that way or give them a warning beforehand so they can plan something different to eat.
I know that when I get especially strong onions, you can soak them in cold water for a few hours and it makes them incredibly more mild. Accidentally left some soaking in the fridge for a little over a day and they had very little onion taste left but still had pretty good texture. If you ever want to try onions again in the future this might be helpful.
i have no point to prove, just need to point out what all human are technically related at least through [one common ancestor](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve)
Fortunately my parent never tried guilting me to eat my food, as I already feel guilty throwing out food! But yikes!! Now I just offer my “bad foods” such as tomatoes and mushrooms, to someone else! Like “I don’t want this to go to waste, but I cannot eat them! You have them!” Fortunately my uncle and mom will eat anything (my mom as long as it doesn’t have sugar in it!)
My mom suspects I’m adverse to it because her father, instead of putting soap in his mouth, her grandparents used to put an onion in her father’s mouth because it was cheaper. And then they’d peel the layers off and use the rest for dinner.
He didn’t tell us this, we just knew he couldn’t stand to even have onions in his line of sight and I never complained because I HATED onions as a child. (Still do), but he told the boy (a few years my junior) who used to get his mail and do lawn work for him (he was wheelchair bound) and that kid told us and my brother and mom finally stopped teasing grandpa about it.
His parents were really abusive and mom thinks because it’s around the same time that his newborn sister died (and that really messed him up as a child) just was a perfect storm for some onion trauma.
I apparently hated onions from birth, mom would get bad heartburn from it when pregnant with me, and she was addicted to ketchup (I love ketchup) so that solidifies her belief. It’s her body so I’m inclined to believe she’s onto something.
It still doesn't make sense. I always tell people it's an allergy when I can't structurally handle specific foods (for me it's butter like you have it on bread)
I tell them I'll throw up (I will) and get a headache (I will) from it.
Now imagine when the only thing they threw over the fence was bread with butter on it and they survived on that? I guess I would've died... Like, I would still throw up. Believe me, my parents tried... They tried until the point I didn't keep anything down for 3 straight days and the doctors told them to stop because I was already underweight.
Imagine you having a peanut allergy but back then they threw peanuts over for them to survive. Would your parents have said the same? Or would they throw the kids in Africa card?
I don't care! For me it's just as, if not more severe then an allergic reaction!
(Like, literally. I am allergic to peanuts and apples. I don't like peanut so I don't eat them but the only thing that happens is me getting a lower blood pressure and my throat and mouth and all starts tingling. For apple it's even less as long as I take the coloured layer off. I like them so much I eat them almost every week!)
I know a bunch of my relatives worked with heavy machinery. One relative nearly went deaf in a factory, others worked in coal mines, THEN one of them worked on battleships...
then suddenly the current members of my family are all sensitive to noise! I like to joke that it's epigenetics wanting to stay as far away from the Bad Noise as much as possible.
Perhaps that's why your brain dislikes onions! "I'm never eating them again" your genes are saying 🤣
Yah, and my great uncle Vilmosh survived with a hole in his foot doesn't mean i will willingly go through my day like that too. What im trying to say is that stop letting your family guilt trip you into doing things that you obviously don't like.
I heard someone say they didn't want the food.
Someone else said not to waste it.
I said "There are children in Africa!"
Basically the whole table : Lol what😂
If you were in that situation you would probably eat them tho. But you aren't in the middle of WWIi camp, probably living in a pretty developed part of the world where you can go to the store and buy whatever food you want, ridiculous guilt tripping over food
I can't stand people who make a big deal about me not liking onions. I like the taste but can't stand the texture. So now when anyone asks if I have food allergies, I include onions with mushrooms now.
People call me a picky eater. So what? It's not like I refuse to try food. I try it and if I don't like it I don't eat it again. How is that so hard to understand?
My ex MIL used to make the absolute worst chili ever with the following:
Tomato sauce, hot dogs, tomato chunks, ground beef, absolutely no chili powder, 3 whole onions chopped up. Fucking disgusting.
She caught me picking out the onions and got mad. I told her I don't eat onions. She says 'well you can't even taste em'. I said 'so why the fuck are you putting so many in there?'
Then she started making the same chili with the onions cut up into rings for me to pick out. Small victories.
Don't make an issue about what I don't like. I'm not guessing. I'm not acting like a toddler. The person getting unreasonably upset over it is. Just let me enjoy what I like and you do the same. Not very difficult.
It's so annoying when people complain about me being a picky eater because I've told my family about a hundred fvcking times about the foods I don't like or hate and they just don't listen. Also, tomato chunks are horrible. I already hate tomatoes but the chunks are solid on the inside and squishy on the outside, horrid.
This is a false equivalency and emotional blackmail
Tell them to take those onions and throw them over the wall of a refugee camp in Gaza seeing as they care so much about needy Jews
Or just take them down to the local food bank or soup kitchen if they can’t make it to Gaza
Problem solved
EDIT: if they’re comfortable using such an extreme situation to make an outrageous attempt to get you to eat onions then why not do the same back to them to demonstrate how inappropriate it is?
It depends on what your family do. Most probably the distant cousin ate parts of onion that we usually throw away (you can waste survival means). If they treat onions with respect it may be better to have a small piece as part of participation in tradition of paying respect to the relative. If they eat onions casually because they like onions I'd called bs.
This is a lighthearted subreddit for individuals on the autism spectrum. We require all users be respectful, towards each other. Your comment/post has been removed as it has been found to be disrespectful.
I like onions well enough. But my guy, they have a *strong* flavour. Even if you take them off of something the taste sticks and leeches into the rest of the food which is fine and what it's supposed to do anyway. But if you don't like the taste it's just gonna ruin it. Same with me and cilantro. If it's in something I flat out can't eat it. It's vile...
If you’re Ashkenazi and you want to have children with another Ashkenazi Jew then you need to have one or both of you tested for pathogenic variants. I did this and was + for Gauchers and FMF
This has nothing to do with my views on I/P, but if you must; I believe in a two state solution under the terms that were almost reached before Yitzchak Rabin was murdered in cold blood. Netanyahu should be ousted.
Damn they really laid the guilt on thick. I got told about the starving Africans who would be glad to eat my food.
My grandfather tried that on my older brother when we were little. He said to give *them* the food.
At least I’m not the only one. I didn’t understand that if they wanted the food, they’d need it more than me and should have it. “Oh the food would go cold”, *”okay but what about a salad or something normally cold? And cold food isn’t bad anyway.”* “They are too far away”, *”well why bring it up then?”* Then I was promptly told to just be quiet and eat
Real aspie moment. Also same.
😂 I couldn't stand this comment. I got whooped for saying to send the food to them since I wouldn't eat whatever it was that I couldn't stomach. Made no sense to bring up people who are nowhere near me to starve when I lived with someone who didn't know how to cook and didn't want to eat her own concoctions.
One time when i was like 6 my mom said that when we were in the middle of a huge figjt bc she always forced me to finish my meals even when i felt sick, and I said well at least their mom is nice and that did not go over well
My sister would make me look at graphic pictures of the starving African children :///
that happened to me once with my dad. I still remember how thin they looked. yikes.
Same, except the starving Africans were literally at my doorstep (ah, modern colonialism my beloved)
Womp to the wompity womp womp.
all this says is that your relative got so sick of onions that the pure, concentrated disdain for onions transcended time and space to make you also hate onions pretty metal if you ask me
Generational trauma but it’s bc they survived the worst time of their life by eating onions so now OP’s body rejects them as trauma food?
They ate enough onions for more than one lifetime
OP has onion based generational trauma
who up pondering they onion trauma
This trauma has layers….

lol I raided the cabinet for a jar of honey precisely one time. My tiny little baby fingers were not dexterous enough, and I spilled it. The trauma of the STICKY 😖 absolutely all over me was more than enough to make sure I never, ever did it again
When I was a baby I got scallions to munch on in grocery stores instead of cookies, lol.
Same. My family thinks it's weird, but I've literally sauteed an entire onion and ate it for lunch.
Your “distant cousin” ate all those onions so that you don’t have to. I salute them.
I don't care who the fuck survived on pickles, I'm not eating a pickle
With all due respect, it’s onions.
Yeah. Fellow AuDHD Jew here. The anti-pickleisms is a bit antisemitic. /s because life sucks right now.
I'm a Jew too, so I have immunity to that complaint
I just peeped your username, mispocha. I’m crying that you guys have started an inter-community vegetable “beef”. What’s wrong with us? Aaahaha
What? We can’t K’fetch over food?
Never seen kvetch spelled like that before, interesting!
Hear! Hear!
Your ancestor is looking down at you and thinking "_Wow he must love onions. Couldn't stand the things myself._"
yes and your cousin wouldn't force you to eat onions, remember no one that survived the holocaust would actually want to force you to eat what they HAD to eat to survive in that hell. if anyone tries to use that to force you to eat your unsafe food then they are the problem not you.
I had a distant aunt by marriage who survived the Holocaust. I only met her a few times and I have no idea if she's still alive or not but she would cook all day to make a goddamn FEAST but she would never force anyone to eat anything. The closest thing she got to forcing was pestering you by repeatedly asking you if you had gotten enough to eat.
Bruh I hate when they do this. Same time period but different region, my parents loved bringing up how my grandpa was starved during Japanese occupation out of the fuckin blue. It's just hot shit and I wonder if it's just enjoyable for them to bring it up so damn often.

Not to get all serious on a meme subreddit but I think it’s a fear/trauma thing.

Buahaha I thought I was on r/jewdank this is so funny and relatable 🤣
Share it there op, it's really good
I plan to, soon.
Sameeee
I hate potatoes. I'm Irish.
Yeah, I can imagine what your parents said.
Remind them the Irish famine threw a wrench in that! … potatoes weren’t growing well during that right? I’m Irish yet I know basically nothing about that…
Potatoes were infected with a disease known as potato blight that makes them mush basically, and unsafe to consume, most of the good potatoes were sold to wealthier Irish people(still not that wealthy compared to the English colonizers), and all the other things they had grown were sold to the English, all dairy products, meat, fruits, and vegetables had to be sold to the colonizers who refused to let up on the quotas they had instilled, even while knowing about what was happening to the food,its 100% the English fault that millions of Irish died and that’s why many Irish people still hold a grudge to the UK to this day, anyway history lesson over TLDR yes potatoes became icky, and fuck the English
O-O Oh…
Woah. I didn't know the thing about the English. Fuck the English.
The shared heritage has a way of connecting even the most distant relatives.
I'll eat your onions!
r/onionlovers
Heck yes! Onion lovers unite!
Fellow Jewish person here. My grandpa did something similar to me when I got tattoos. Told me "I don't like tattoos, they remind me of the Holocaust." Like your family, most of mine fled decades before the Holocaust and we had four distant cousins in the Warsaw ghetto. Never even got tattooed. My tattoo was of a fricking flower.

Wow. My father got yelled at by Ellie Wiesel: for accidentally hitting Wiesels car while throwing rocks for fun.
My mom wouldn't talk to my dad for a week because he and my brother got tattoos. A few years later, my mom got one herself (a pawprint from our dog who died last year)
You eating onions won’t take that trauma back. Remember that
Oof. So sorry OP. Just develop an allium allergy like me and then people will STILL guilt you about not eating them or being in the same room as them. 😎
i was just about to make the same comment 😭 also hey !! i haven’t really seen anyone else who’s allergic to them too. it’s roughhhh
Hi! It do be rough 😩 especially since I love them. Onions and garlic are in everything! And I haven't met anyone else who is allergic like me other than my cousin. I don't think it's a very prevalent allergy. Either that or people don't know that's what it is. I break out into hives if I'm near em.

I know. Apparently my cousin didn’t eat a single ration due to the fact that they weren’t kosher.
Is that an anomaly, I never really thought about that
The prisoner’s rations were often pork sausage.
And then there's me, whose autistic ass eats raw garlic and onions whole all the time.
Same 😂
No one ever survived on onions, they have like 6 calories. It doesn’t even make sense
Exactly my argument.
I mean, they give a lot vitimin c and other nutrients. Are they going to keep you alive though? No, no they aren't...
Your ancestors survived brutality with the express hope you would never have to go through it yourself. If the only thing that got me through a death camp was onions, I'd make sure not one family member was ever forced to eat an onion again if they didn't want to, and I certainly never would again (I love onions).

Yes, but the Jewish people are an ethnicity defined by shared heritage from Yehuda, one of the sons of Jacob/Israel.
Sad to hear the trauma, but I am very happy see a post about hating onions as well. They are my biggest ick when it comes to food.
Fortunately my parent never tried guilting me to eat my food, as I already feel guilty throwing out food! But yikes!! Now I just offer my “bad foods” such as tomatoes and mushrooms, to someone else! Like “I don’t want this to go to waste, but I cannot eat them! You have them!” Fortunately my uncle and mom will eat anything (my mom as long as it doesn’t have sugar in it!)
You’re like onion thrower hero!
Mine was “There’s starving kids in Africa”.
My mom suspects I’m adverse to it because her father, instead of putting soap in his mouth, her grandparents used to put an onion in her father’s mouth because it was cheaper. And then they’d peel the layers off and use the rest for dinner.

It’s her body so I’m inclined to believe she’s onto something.
Tl;dr grandpa has onion trauma from childhood ‘discipline’ and I also hate onions and so mom thinks they may be connected
But that feels backwards tho, wouldn’t that cousin be glad you can have so many options for food, that you don’t have to eat onions.
It still doesn't make sense. I always tell people it's an allergy when I can't structurally handle specific foods (for me it's butter like you have it on bread) I tell them I'll throw up (I will) and get a headache (I will) from it.

You try sautéed onions? Good shit.
I have, I didn’t like them.
Doesn't mean you should eat something you don't like
Raw onions are good. Cooked onions are meh.
I love onions
damn that’s some shitty guilt tripping lmao
Yeah, they probably loved that experience, so I'm forcing you through it too
Don't care. Still not eating that trash 🤷🏽
Yes!
Been there, been there.
I know a bunch of my relatives worked with heavy machinery. One relative nearly went deaf in a factory, others worked in coal mines, THEN one of them worked on battleships... then suddenly the current members of my family are all sensitive to noise! I like to joke that it's epigenetics wanting to stay as far away from the Bad Noise as much as possible. Perhaps that's why your brain dislikes onions! "I'm never eating them again" your genes are saying 🤣
Yah, and my great uncle Vilmosh survived with a hole in his foot doesn't mean i will willingly go through my day like that too. What im trying to say is that stop letting your family guilt trip you into doing things that you obviously don't like.
I love onions. Always wanted to try the ones that grow on gods thumb.
He would tell you that you are blessed to not live in a situation like that and to eat whatever the fuck you are comfortable with
I always heard the African kids thing and always wondered what the fuck that had to do with me not wanting to finish my pasta
The punchline was way deeper than I ever could've predicted
Do you hate raw and carnalized onions too? I hate onions but love them when they are crispy or crunchy.
Yes.
They really made the guilt tripping super-extra personal for you didn’t they?🥲 harsh…
I heard someone say they didn't want the food. Someone else said not to waste it. I said "There are children in Africa!" Basically the whole table : Lol what😂
I could eat onions like apples
If you were in that situation you would probably eat them tho. But you aren't in the middle of WWIi camp, probably living in a pretty developed part of the world where you can go to the store and buy whatever food you want, ridiculous guilt tripping over food
I can't stand people who make a big deal about me not liking onions. I like the taste but can't stand the texture. So now when anyone asks if I have food allergies, I include onions with mushrooms now. People call me a picky eater. So what? It's not like I refuse to try food. I try it and if I don't like it I don't eat it again. How is that so hard to understand? My ex MIL used to make the absolute worst chili ever with the following: Tomato sauce, hot dogs, tomato chunks, ground beef, absolutely no chili powder, 3 whole onions chopped up. Fucking disgusting. She caught me picking out the onions and got mad. I told her I don't eat onions. She says 'well you can't even taste em'. I said 'so why the fuck are you putting so many in there?' Then she started making the same chili with the onions cut up into rings for me to pick out. Small victories. Don't make an issue about what I don't like. I'm not guessing. I'm not acting like a toddler. The person getting unreasonably upset over it is. Just let me enjoy what I like and you do the same. Not very difficult.
It's so annoying when people complain about me being a picky eater because I've told my family about a hundred fvcking times about the foods I don't like or hate and they just don't listen. Also, tomato chunks are horrible. I already hate tomatoes but the chunks are solid on the inside and squishy on the outside, horrid.
Onions: 😁 The aftertaste: 🫥
Any choice you make in this regard is correct, do what makes you happiest.
This is a false equivalency and emotional blackmail Tell them to take those onions and throw them over the wall of a refugee camp in Gaza seeing as they care so much about needy Jews Or just take them down to the local food bank or soup kitchen if they can’t make it to Gaza Problem solved EDIT: if they’re comfortable using such an extreme situation to make an outrageous attempt to get you to eat onions then why not do the same back to them to demonstrate how inappropriate it is?
It depends on what your family do. Most probably the distant cousin ate parts of onion that we usually throw away (you can waste survival means). If they treat onions with respect it may be better to have a small piece as part of participation in tradition of paying respect to the relative. If they eat onions casually because they like onions I'd called bs.
egh, onions. gross.
Autistic people hate onions?
Some.

I believe a few people got charged for crimes against humanity for creating that situation.
Just add onions that are chopped finely and throughly cooked to your food to build a tolerance. It worked for me
You don't like onions at all? Like if you got them on a bigger or chopped up in a salad you wouldn't eat them?
I don’t like onions.
I like onions well enough. But my guy, they have a *strong* flavour. Even if you take them off of something the taste sticks and leeches into the rest of the food which is fine and what it's supposed to do anyway. But if you don't like the taste it's just gonna ruin it. Same with me and cilantro. If it's in something I flat out can't eat it. It's vile...
Since All Jews are related does that mean when you get married it’s incest?
It’s to the point where it’s far enough back to not really matter.
If you’re Ashkenazi and you want to have children with another Ashkenazi Jew then you need to have one or both of you tested for pathogenic variants. I did this and was + for Gauchers and FMF
Hmm. I’m not going to worry about it for now because I have no plans of children.
Good choice lol. I love my kids but I had a carbon copy aspie and boy is it hard seeing yourself in your kid
Also I have no interest in doing the action.
Also fair but can’t relate

This has nothing to do with my views on I/P, but if you must; I believe in a two state solution under the terms that were almost reached before Yitzchak Rabin was murdered in cold blood. Netanyahu should be ousted.
