Anti-Zionism does not give license to Anti-Semitism. I see an acute blurring of the otherwise vast boundary between these. Not all Jewish people are Zionists. Many secular Jews are anti-zionists. But, I do now equate the Star of David with Zionism because of the nationalism that collects under it. Zionist Nationalism, indeed.

Inmate 483233: (1967 - 2021)
Inmate 483233 didn't commit crimes, he committed a series diabolical attrocities. When I learned that he was recently stabbed to death by a fellow inmate I thought I'd be heartened by the de facto justice. But I wasn't. It was insufficient.
His murderous, unimaginable, torturous acts in May of 2012 in Grassy Fork just down the road in Cocke County ushered in my complete abandonment of any residual belief in god. An ironic gift from this horror of a human, carbon-based composite. I refuse to ever utter his name. This rocked my world, folks. Changed me forever. Left me embarrassed that I ever believed in the existence of god.
