Thank you—my shattered, stomped on, ruined heart appreciates your solidarity today.

A lot of what you said resonates with me. One example: I've been an ally to the LGBTQ community for a long time, and this news article (https://brookline.news/after-debate-libraries-will-restore-pride-and-blm-flags-in-june/) is about one recent thing I did. About a dozen people came to ask us to put the Pride flag back up, and I argued in favor of doing so. But all the time, I was wondering how many of the people I was fighting for would stand by my side if I asked for support for the Jewish community. (Not even Israel, "just" Jews.) The rejection we get from the allies we have advocated for over years, over decades - that's what hurts.
