Israel’s battle against misinformation and hate is overwhelming on most days. During a war, it goes on overdrive. By last measure, online anti-Semitism has spiked by a massive 1200% since October 7th When faced with a river of hate from legions of enemy countries and sympathizers, Israel’s Hasbara (positive PR) efforts are chronically understaffed, under-funded
If you want to kill mothers and babies on a regular basis you need at least some kind of official “justification”. This of course applies to both sides. While the government and military of Israel uses islamophobia, Hamas is using antisemitism to justify their barbaric crimes. In both cases its in fact just racism if you look under the propaganda surface.
100%, which is why I personally say the people should be free.
All people should be free, globally, nobody should be oppressed, nobody should live under apartheid, nobody should be deliberately denied food and water. I know I’m a crazy partisan wanting these things and advocating for them.
The totalitarian ethno-religious organizations and governments focused on ethnic cleansing can just fuck off. But there’s a lot of people, who simply get focused on oh you don’t like my ethnic cleansing effort, obviously you believe in reversed ethnic cleansing! And that’s the furthest thing from the truth.
It should be reasonable to have a public debate where you don’t want ethnic cleansing in any direction, nobody should to get ethnically cleansed! Why is that so controversial…
Wholeheartedly agreed! Nations are a social construct imo, nothing more. Fuck nations if you ask me.
Yeah, it makes actual communication impossible and that really sucks. Reminds me of the annoying US “culture war” bullshit.
Because of fabricated toxic narratives and propaganda spun by both sides for several decades now, would be my best guess.
