No, it's far, far away on the level of violence, I know. But the discrimination of black Israelis is here, as well.
I'm hurting today (those last several days will be more accurate) on several levels. I know my cognitive skills suck those days. It's often that I shut up, refrain from talking with Hagar, Tami, other people those days, since I don't want to risk offending and am too vulnerable to handle a counter-back if I do offend by mistake. But. That one stung and had to be said.
