Phobia Chatter

 I tried to read through a news piece, where the White House is opening up a discussion about development of a anti-Islamophobia situation.

Meaning?  Well....if you had an irrational fear of Islamic people or situation, that would fall into the category of Islamophobia.  The key thing here....it has to be a 'fear' and it has to be 'irrational'.  If it's not a fear or irrational, then it can't be a phobia.

Meanwhile, while talking about this White House work to be done (I assume they've hired some doctor to run this 'hype'....they've also now had to open up and admit that there is anti-Semitismophobia  going on (the irrational fear of Jewish people).  

The people who seem to be affected by the fear of Jewish people?  Well....so far, the White House hasn't said who these people are, or what category they fit into.  

This leading to a illogical confrontation?  I looked it up for phobias....generally, around 10 to 12 percent of people suffer from them.  It'd seem logical for the White House to just run some full-scale operation, and try to cure all the phobia people in America.

Just trying to imagine just how vast this would get. Probably some drug-action in the works.

a)
We might be describing two phenomenon, applying one word for opposites on the shem spectrum.
.
A possibility?:
* unaffiliated imposters are hiding behind the shield of organized religion, using that cloak to conceal their motives... which have nothing to do with their publicized 'goals' ('world peace and feed the hungry children and plant (edible peace) flowers...').
.
b)
I am ["'cis' identify as"] pro-shem.
I lived and worked in Yemen, Libya, Lebanon, and Palestine.
In my experience, shemites are warm, friendly, open, hospitable.
.
The few zionists I met were irrationally tribal, neurotically deceitful, irrationally fearful of change, their goal of Global! Domination! as the singular route toward [the illusion of] security.
If that small sample of zionists are indicative of their group-think, I prefer solitude.

"Eat ze bogs, be hoppy."

c)
I also worked in one of our oldest civilizations... Persia.
Based on my experience, the Aryan people of Iran align with all the good qualities of shemites -- warm, open, friendly, hospitable.
.
In all my years among Persians, I felt welcomed and included.
Inciting Americans to proxy war against such individuals is unconscionable... writing the definition of 'irrationally fearful'.
