Ono, my dear old friend! First of all, I didn't "just" anything, love. This post is from two years ago you big goofball!

Second of all, I know you're a "scientist" so one would technically assume you excel in logic, but I'm going to explain to you a concept from language arts that is also quite logical, so you might enjoy it: it's called an "analogy."

So you wrote an article saying that "Israel" should make all "Jews" everywhere feel disgusted (a racist and antisemitic and disgusting title, I maintain).

If we are to employ an analogy here, "Israel" (of which half of Jews worldwide-including myself-are not citizens and therefore have no accountability for Israel's governing body) to "Jews" (a vast ethnoreligious global populace) would be as "China" (which is one Asian country that happens to be committing genocide against Uyghurs among other crimes against humanity) is to "Asians" (a vast assortment of ethnicities among which many may have little to no association with the former, aside from being of the same continent and technically coupled together as a broad ethnic group under Western conceptions of race--imperfect, I know, for the same reason all Middle-Eastern folks are called "Caucasian" or "white").

So no, oh no, Ono, I was not "assuming you were Japanese" lmao I grew up in the Seattle area. I was assuming you're Asian because you've literally said that in your work and because your name is Ono (which I know to be a Japanese name, but I don't need to make assumptions about your identity because it's irrelevant).

TLDR, regardless of the dubious logic of your response in which you are attempting to deflect your own antisemitism with a paltry shot at making me into a racist, you still had the audacity to write an article condemning "Jews everywhere" for something they cannot control.

And it is precisely because of this logic (or lack thereof) and willful, hateful ignorance, that I have no doubt that you are gleefully out in the streets right now, championing a terror organization, consuming propaganda like it's candy, and whispering only to those you really trust about how you wish Hitler finished the job.

You are quite transparent, my dear Ono. And that is why your accusations of "genocide" are empty. I'm sure you won't believe it because I'm just a dirty lil Jew, but I feel immense pain and grief at the loss of ALL civilian life. I wish peace and autonomy and sovereignty for Palestinian people, and I wish for profound change in the Israeli government to develop a lasting peace, security and democracy in the region.

PS, I know we're not in the business of assuming or guessing one another's identities, but jus saying Mergen does sound German ;) the old guard would be proud of u girl!
