Just yesterday, a 62-yr old boomer I know who was very wedded to the idea that Israel is our greatest ally, and Jews are oppressed, noticed what happened at the Olympics, and that Israel said nothing. So I dropped a huge series of #noticing bombs on him. We ended up in a one-hour conversation culminating in him seeing the truth, even in the Bible - we went through all sorts of verses. I challenged him to show me one verse declaring the Jews to be God's chosen, then asked him to look up the origin date of the Talmud (~ 200AD or so).
Complete conversion. He was so frustrated, mad, and confused, but he got it. He completely processed it.
Now he has to face his new reality.
Oh - I did holocaust math with him, too. I don't think I've ever heard so much stuttering.
