Also brief reminders because I haven't talked about this sphere as much.
It's true that zionists and other pro-genocide freaks will use antisemitism as a bad faith false accusations against principled Genocide Dislikers, but just so we're clear, being antisemitic is bad. At 0 points in the course of making any good argument ever do you have to fall back upon bigotry. It's rhetorical cancer and actual brain damage.
The antisemitism accusations are even more laughable in face of the fact that Zionists are very frequently antisemitic. Most American Zionists are christian nationalists who think there needs to be X amount of Jews in Israel for the Rapture to happen. takashi0 and SYABM and associated peddled the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory for years and have given 0 indication they ever actually stopped believing in it. They're just using the shallow aesthetic of being "pro-jew" as a rhetorical crowbar for what they actually are, which is anti-muslim.
Ethnostates are bad, religious zealotry is bad no matter what religion it is, and Israel has a history of apartheid and human rights abuses. The IDF are mostly stocked by inhuman ghouls who love doing war crimes and virtually everyone in charge of what's going on in Gaza intends for it to be an ethnic cleansing. It is a genocide and an evil-ass country all around.
Hamas is also, to be clear, not good for Palestinians either, and killing civilians in unacceptable under any circumstances. Which is why we must, of course, blame Israel for this as well. As it turns out, if you keep a population of people as second-class citizens at best, reject any attempts at peaceful conflict resolution for an increased standard of living, you eventually force that population to either seek drastic solutions or keel over and die. I am not pro-Hamas, I am only pro-"acknowledging that you kind of made Hamas an inevitability".
Oct.7, like 9/11, was a tragedy and nobody who died deserved it. It is, also like 9/11, something that was milked so hard by everyone in government and news media as a method of rooting out "true patriots" and "enemies of the country" that I blame nobody for not being particularly torn up over it or performative flogging themselves of what.
Free Palestine, river to the sea, etc. etc. etc. die mad and i have a block button which i'm willing to use
