It is absolutely insane that the public’s response to a war is to demand that the side that didn’t start it, be the one to stop it.

I hate to say it but everyone saying there's Pre-Holocaust vibes are correct

There’s a saying that I’ve heard for years, but I didn’t full grasp it until after October 7.

One of weirdest disconnects (but far from being the only one), I see from the left in regards to Israel is that jews have no claim to the land, are colonizers and oppressors, but at the same time make long ass rants about how native americans had their land stolen from them, deserve to claim it back and get reparations and all that. And the disconnect here is that jewish people, as a group, are native to the region of Israel, their ancestors literally built a country there after escaping slavery, lived there for a long ass time but were eventually kicked out by the Roman Empire, and after thousands of years of being persecute and not felling safe returned to their ancestral homeland, to reclaim and rebuild what was stolen from them. Isn’t that what people say we owe native americans? Or indigenous groups that were kicked out of their lands in general? Yes, in their thousand year absence other peoples built their lives around the region of Jerusalem. Yes, Palestine deserves to be recognized and it’s citizens to have decent lives like everyone else. Should Israel never have existed, or cease to exist? No! There’s plenty of room for both peoples to have their countries, the jewish people belong there too and history proves they need a nation to serve as a refuge! Their land was returned to them by British after WW2, since they legally owed it after the fall of the Byzantine Empire, and while the partition could have been better, after all the horror’s jewish people had experienced it’s hard to blame to UN for giving it a go. Honestly, this whole situation just shows how dumb, hateful, bigoted, misinformed and disingenuous a lot of people in the left are. It’s easy to say that the Hogwart’s Legacy game is anti-jewish, that supporting it gives power and money to evil people and then harassing people that want to play it (which is dumb all around, as pretty much all the other hot takes and boycott to that game), but when it comes down to actually standing with jewish people and showing empathy? Nah, that’s too hard for them. It’s all performative. It’s easier to jump on the hate train and say they deserved what H*mas did to them, it gives them more likes.

Very scary to see people repeating the lie that the usa doesn’t have universal healthcare because it spends money on israel. I’m not an expert on us federal allocation or american politics but i was forced to learn that us aid for israel is mostly the sale of weaponry, intelligence grants, and trade sales. It’s money already set aside for those purposes. Money for healthcare is an already separate amount and it isn’t dipped into when deciding what to send for what’s classified as aid, as aid grants are awarded based on a competitive process for the recipients and givers alike. The same people repeating the lie that israel is a parasite siphoning off american taxpayers’ money are the same people who argue against helping ukraine, and regardless of your feelings on either country, not spreading falsehoods is imperative

i no longer have any trust in my kidneys for leftists. like, i knew, i *knew* there was rampant antisemitism in leftist spaces. i just never thought we'd get to the point where self-proclaimed progressives would be shouting "gas the jews" en mass at protests (though perhaps this was too optimistic of me)
