[Serious] Jews of Lemmy, what are your family conversations about the war like?

Zionism wasn’t just taught to the boomer generation in America their entire lives, there was no other concept at all. The reality was that Jews belonged in Israel and no other context was provided. It was true for our Jewish education, too, but the internet and global media has changed things. It’s really hard to get someone to understand that we are not Israel and Jews are not Israel. We are not them and this is something we should be condemning. I had a bit of a time just getting my father to come around to the idea that a ceasefire might be a good idea on account of all the children being killed. That’s how deep this goes even oceans away.

A&E (Accident & Emergency) is Britain’s version of “The ER” which is now generally professionally referred to as “The ED”, or Emergency Department, in the US. https://smalltownerdoc.com/2017/10/22/whats-in-a-name-er-vs-ed/

The show has a character Carol but it would seem like the person in this story, if it’s even true, was probably also named Carol.
