In yet another reality-denying ritual of fealty to the pro-Israel lobby, members of Congress absurdly voted to say Israel was neither an apartheid state nor racist. Only a few progressives, including members of the Squad, stood firm in opposing the measure.
Yeah I’m gonna distance myself from you here. I’m not pro Israel. They have done and continue to do some horrible shit and I’ve seen first hand the effects of that. The unfiltered hatred some people there possess shocked me. They did not lose the public relations war, their actions alone have made their public relations what it is.
I was just advocating for nuance and honesty.
Not the guy you replied to, and I honestly disagree with you, but thank you for approaching this subject in a sane way.
There are many hateful people in Israel (and everywhere else really) but there are also many who truly want this conflict to end in a peaceful way, and people like many of those in this thread only serve to radicalize them IMO.
