Surprisingly, despite being in the south, most people seem to support Palestine. Except for this one trump supporting guy who screams that Israel is the “only democracy” in the middle east and how the Muslims are “terrorists” It’s kind of funny because just a couple days ago, he was screeching “America First! America First! Stop giving aid to Ukraine. Take care of our own!” (Not a bad thing) but apparently, Israel doesn’t count and we “need to send them more money.”
my solution is to not have any liberal friends
Anyone crying about muslim “terrorists” needs to learn about Lehi/Irgun and what they did and called themselves.
Anyone crying “it’s the only democracy” needs to answer why an Israeli born in the west bank gets to vote but a Palestinian born in west bank doesn’t.
Anyone opposing Palestinian liberation needs to answer if they acknowledge the genocide being perpetrated against Palestinians. Either they are ignorant or will reveal themselves as genocide supporters.
Most people I know either just don’t want WW3 to start or are pro-Palestine. I’ve taken to saying “for legal reasons I can’t discuss this right now” when it comes up with coworkers or strangers or whoever I’m not sure about, which says a lot while technically saying nothing I feel.
I have a couple close friends that are on the “both sides” bullshit and I just told them outright that we aren’t gonna talk about it until they grow up and are prepared to consider other perspectives.
it’s honestly been pretty fucking hard on me. whenever i think about the whole situation, especially how western media will do anything to twist the narrative, i get pretty bummed. seeing pro palestinian sentiment online though has been reinvigorating and beautiful. i hope this situation can bring more people onto the left and in solidarity with working and oppressed peoples worldwide
Bring up the fact that Trump blames Netanyahu, and god’s speed 🫡
