The Department of Education announced Monday it's investigating 60 colleges and universities over allegations of antisemitic harassment and discrimination.

So am I.

preface: next bit will be cold and kind of awful but probable... It doesn't thrill me but again, reality likely won't (shouldn't) surprise anyone.

The event will be out of the public eye and forgotten for the next new hot tragedy that social media is pushing. Assuming schools allow any form of protests at all by then - a new wave of kids will be all grown up and looking to make their mark on society... Our current events will be, at best, a footnote reference.

For example: what ever did happen to those Uyghurs...? (~10 years ago)

For a change to happen it would need to be happening now. For it to be meaningful: it would require other countries to physically step in to do something about it. They aren't. Yes the American government is providing basically satan with a blank check and infinite ammo (I've not checked to see if he said thank you.) But those shipments aren't being teleported there. Other countries could absolutely act to stop this... but it would require becoming involved. (see my "just don't want trouble" statement above)

In the end: it's probable that Israel will succeed in effectively wiping out a large swath of the population and we will see yet another generation of children who will seek retribution through acts of terror ... and feel justified in doing so. The cycle continues.

It is unthinkable what is going on there. It's unthinkable what has occurred in past genocide's. It's uncomfortable and ugly and painful. So we tuck it away as something bad which we acknowledge... but only just enough to differentiate ourselves from 'those monsters' and let the moment pass. Do we deeply document our own wrongdoings and painful memories? Do we teach and discuss how to prevent such terrible things? Rarely. Because it's uncomfortable. And so history repeats.
