I was proud of myself for mostly staying out of the anti vs pro-Trump war of words.

I’ll admit that, at the beginning of the Trump era, I unfriended a few people, but only because they had insulted me personally. That was a red line for me.

But regardless of the reason, I now have some regrets, mainly because some of those people were my “real” friends versus Facebook friends.

And yes, I could, or should, go back and try to refriend them, if that’s even a word. But at this point, and at my age, what’s done is done.

BUT the anti-Israel/anti-Jewish/pro-Hamas movement/sentiment is a whole other can of unseemly worms.

I have unfriended countless so-called friends over their anti-Jewish rhetoric. And I have hidden all of the diatribes and unhinged nonsense comparing Trump to Hitler or illegal immigrant housing to gas chambers. Puleeze. Get a grip.

And although I feel slightly regretful (slightly being the operative word)—for jumping into an email exchange between my husband and his college friends, I still stand by my extremely caustic verbiage.

Since I wasn’t included in the email chain, it probably would have been better had I quietly boiled—more like broiled—and then counted to a hundred.

Okay, maybe I would have needed to count to a thousand when words like “slaughter” were used to describe Gazans, and NOT THE INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN RAPED, MUTILATED, AND MURDERED on 10/7/23.

And sorry/not sorry for the bold caps, and…

Note to my husband’s friends and Hamas/Hamas sympathizers:

IF YOU DON’T WANT A WAR WITH ISRAEL, THEN DON’T START A WAR!!!!

And for those of you who know me:

DON’T POKE THE “ME TOO” bear.

So, to answer my own question:

Can My Broken Relationships Due to Anti-Israel Sentiments Ever Be Repaired?

In a not-so-nutty shell:

NO.

I’m happy I said my peace, so there.

And FYI, I will continue to do so.

And if or when I ever see my husband’s “friends” again, I’ll be pleasant, but quietly unforgetting, unforgiving, and irreparably unrepaired.
