I'm neither #American, nor #Italian, but even if I were both, I would not want anything to do with this "#holiday," ESPECIALLY now that it has HIS "endorsement."

The ONE consistency Trump has shown is #evilness. He is incapable of doing the right thing even if he benefits from it. #NewYorkers should take this as a sign.

As Rita Jabri Markwell put it:
• trauma is a genuine wound;
• fragility serves as an exercise of power over oppressed peoples.
In the Zionist case, fragility depends on genuine wounds (collective Jewish historical trauma) to leverage its power and silence dissenters.

Mondoweiss · On Zionist feelingsThe feelings and fragility of Zionists are used as a rhetorical shield to deflect from the reality of Palestinian genocide. I refuse to provide reassurances to placate and soothe Zionist political anxieties.
