Turn over the parts of yourself that scream to be left alone

This article made me cringe.
when i was writing my ME Social Patterns paper, i realized i have an automatic, knee-jerk reaction to see israel as satan. kind of like my auto-reject function for when boys ask me out. kind of like my auto-eat mode for whenever i see anything with at least 40% fat calories. auto-categorize israel as evil.
so that's probably why i hated this article.
that's probably also the reason why i should read it.
