There are a LOT of hateful stories on Medium and it is surprising that this hate speech is allowed.

You wrote: "Hating Jews is trendy these days because of a concerted campaign involving billions of dollars by terrorist regimes. " And this seems to be the case. However, although it is trendy, the trend has continued to arise repeatedly over the past couple of thousand of years.

Undeniably, Muslim extremists throughout the Middle East, including in Palestinian territories, inculcate young children to hate and want to murder Jews. This is a fact that has been proven over the decades with videos and personal experiences. How does this resolve anything? How does it lead to peace and reconciliation?

One of the most recent stories I read was that Israelis are stealing the internal organs of Palestinians they killed. If the reader is not familiar with this idea, we can revisit the propaganda of Medieval Europe that reported how Jews were eating Christian children for their Passover rites. It's the same nonsense with a new spin. Another commonly spread lie is that Muslims are not treated as equals within Israel. Not true. Another lie is that Israel is creating a genocide. The truth is that Israel has had 70-plus years to do so and has in fact done the opposite. It is the entire Arab world, every Arab nation, that has ousted all of its Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and others from its populace. This is ethnic cleansing. Read the statistics instead of the propaganda.

Liberals generally want equality and peace, but when they just buy into the propaganda we get what we have today, which are demonstrations not based on fact, but on propaganda.

If we ever hope to heal as a world population we have to stop the lying, hate, and propaganda and realize that we are not perfect and that terrible things that happen are not always on purpose; on the other hand, many times they are on purpose. People are imperfect and therefore so are their governments and policies, but when motivated by hate instead of compassion, you get the kind of massacre that occurred on October 7th against innocent people.

The situation between Israel and its neighbors and its enemies and allies is quite complex. Reading propaganda does nothing but promote hate and fear. What has happened to many innocent people, both Israelis and Palestinians, is horrific, but spreading lies to gain sympathy is an act of violence and not an act of healing.
