I think you are being too charitable. From what I have seen, it's "you either support the Israeli cause or you are a terrorist who hates freedom." All we need now is a war criminal republican president for democrats to loudly criticize yet support at every opportunity to invade a country that had nothing to do with the attacks and it'll be just like the early 2000s again.
- alephnerd 3y agoIt goes both ways. I've seen some toxic douchebags say that the only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian. I've also had some douchebags PERSONALLY tell me "From river to sea, Palestine will be free" under the assumption that as a brown guy I'd sympathize. Everyone is in their own damn echo chamber and yelling across of each other. Assholes on sides need to get fucking slapped.
- SauciestGNU 3y agoThis is the problem though, you're equating the wish for an end to the occupation of Palestine with an explicit call for genocide. The two are not equivalent.
- pauldenton 3y agoI don't know what you mean. The Palestinians want to kill Israelis and the Israelis want to kill the Palestinians. Expelling Jews from the river to the sea means all the territory that is currently Israel becoming no longer a Jewish state. Israel may very well deconstruct Gaza so it's no longer a state as well. Equal things at stake
