| [IsraelTimes] The American-Israeli Zlotnitsky family is a case study in the conflict facing progressive US Jews as the people they’ve advocated for are some of their biggest adversaries after Oct. 7. Some may not make it all the way over to our side, but the Democrats have driven them away as voters, donors, and activists. And some will join us. All the agony at the link. |

| #2 #1Empathy is the ability to emotionally understand what other people feel, see things from their point of view, and imagine yourself in their place. Essentially, it is putting yourself in someone else's position and feeling what they are feeling. What you talking about is the opposite of empathy - projecting your feelings (and values) onto others. |

| #1 I know people like Mr. Zlotnitsky. It's hard to talk to such people because you don't want to come off as a bad person so I sort of pretend I don't remember their previous comments. Although sometimes I try to sneak the concept of suicidal empathy into the conversation. |
