like idk if it's the language barrier, or a lack of geographical and historical background, or latent antisemitism and anti-Arab racism, but the sheer volume of idiocy and immaturity i have seen about israel and palestine is unique remarkable. what fucking gives. maybe i just haven't lived through enough political movements but i did not see this level of misinfo and bigotry and inability to recognize outside instigators (in the form of nazis, evangelicals, and blatant islamophobes and racists) in any other cause ive cared about.

#maybe bc the stuff ive been involved in (blm some Florida specific bills & the teacher strike a while ago + just like local politics)#are all mostly american issues (except blm but it got the most attention here)#so ppl understood it better #plus unlike this i didn't have an entire lifetime of background knowledge and was new to it myself #well i had personal connections in obvious ways but i wasn't intimately familar w the history #idk i don't want to be cynical i think part of it is just that ppl r rightfully passionate about an ongoing awful military campaign #but it's fucking scary to see ppl constantly regurgitate antisemitic myths and spread obvious lies and spread info from nazis #with seemingly zero trepidation. how long until you do this about something else? how many other points do u agree with #fucking blitzkrieg88 on. like what is HAPPENING.
