Some of us were against the Israeli government before it was cool! Some of us have family in Israel who cried when Netanyahu got elected because he was a “murderous fascist.” Some of us watched those same family members support this latest genocide…
Some of us are already crying over realizing our Jewish family members are actually cool with Nazis. This genocide lifted a veil and revealed some really fucking ugly people.
The unfortunate reality is that most people accept state propaganda and whatever people around them believe without much pushback. It takes an unusually principled person to stand up to their friends and family and say this is wrong and face the social and potentially even legal consequences of doing so.
This abandonment of principles is a fascinating aspect of human nature.
It’s well documented that we reduce our empathy and altruism when we’re under stress.
Some fraction of people won’t pay any cost to keep their ethical first principles.
Some fraction have deeper wiring to either conform to an in group or to follow a strongman or strong hierarchy.
We are doomed if we can’t find a way to bioengineer our way out of this, considering we already have nuclear weapons.
I’m not sure that I agree with the bioengineering part, but maybe I don’t understand what you mean. I’d love it if you’d elaborate.
To be honest, before this I never had any idea of the plight of the Palestinians. I knew the bs “settlers” was just kicking people out of their legally owned homes. I had no idea that Israeli people considered another race the same exact way the Nazis considered the Jews. History has taught these people nothing.
Only took us 80 years of genocide to figure it out.
Good?
No, it just educated people on the horrible crimes they are committing and that they are not the victim. Israel doesn’t like that at all.
That is NOT TRUE! MOST AMERICANS are just Anti Semetic! TRUE Jews and Jew Lovers ALSO love Genocide!
