In my essay “The Lost Art of Being Yourself”, I write at some point that many people dislike those who are individuals. You, wearing such a T-shirt, might actually trigger something in them. It is easier to be a conformist, and when others are not, the conformist often wants to suppress them so that they will not be reminded their own mediocrity. On top of that, as in your occasion, one might be reminded, even indirectly, of what those whom they support are doing. An acquaintance of mine had a similar occurrence, albeit much milder, by having a sticker on his laptop with the same message.

A sincere and thought provoking article. I concur that Zionism is not Judaism, but often conflated as such. I believe it's a racist ideology that requires two classes of people in a land which they could be sharing equally, I do pray one day Palestinians can be self governing and live in peace and security alongside israel.

Thanks for this wonderful article.
