A conversation with Lawrence Wright on grief, memory, and why humanizing our adversaries is essential to breaking the endless cycles of conflict in Israel, Palestine, and beyond.
I have a lens of antisemitism that explains conservative and liberal viewpoints from across the globe.
The Jews do show more of the show than Irish or black Americans, right? With or without a Holocaust. The Jews have an active diaspora. If a denizen is conservative, he or she may not want Jews "taking the limelight" and instead being more nationalistic and want their story shared. A liberal is the opposite and absolutely adores Jews because they are more globally minded!
A little of my antisemitism is that I resent learning the Holocaust, Memory, Education unit as a 4th grader. But it ends there.
----->>>>>Trucking it back to the Israel-Palestine issue, my thesis is that the Jews present themselves as liberal, without their choosing, and then are forced into more conservative populations that will never appreciate them. That is what democracy as a form of government and democracy as a spirit is all about. That's why we spend more time on their suffering, pain, and loss.
This episode title made me think of some of the purpose of Memory Education.
Sure, don't do it again & be moral. ... But, my gut tells me it is partly in part to "preserve" memory. This is more of a mathematical calculation than me being an expert of genocide or trauma or memory...
For example, invoking the words "probability distribution," sociology changes based on the different angles one takes in. In networks, word of mouth, spreads. Finally, if the same neurological wires are hit again and again, the memories are better remembered.
---> The point is: some of the benefits of Holocaust, Memory, Education is that "those lost" "without names" are remembered and preserved. The Education almost regenerates their memories. The Irish, Native People's, and black Americans and everybody else have different approaches.

Much of the -ists and -isms are based on this Memory Education.
I do not know what it is like to be an American versus another countryman.
How could or why would Israel and Palestine continue to fight? For so long? So brutally?
What if they looked the same?
^^^America does not have this problem -- anymore. Is this a problem in other parts of the world?
Is Israel profitable land? Is it for religious reasons?? Or, is it in 2025 venomous hatred???
I cannot fucking wait for this episode!!!
