Young people are prone to believing propaganda from Hamas because they haven't been reading the news for a few decades to understand the context. Though you'd think Hamas massacring villages would get people up to speed. But when memes about Palestinians=good, Jews=bad has been circulating the internet for most of someone's formative years, it's hard to break out of this pattern.

Every fourth generation has antisemitism problems because they likely never even met someone who has seen the effects of it. Gaza now looks like the cities of Germany looked like at the end of WWII. Hatred causes destruction, and many times it cause the destruction of one's self.

Don't hate Jews, kids. Jews aren't our enemies. Those that promote hatred towards Jews are pulling you into something you really don't want to be a part of.

Support for Palestine does not equal antisemitism. And it's incredibly problematic that that's what you've implied here.

Fuck you

YOU are not up to speed with what's going on. Nobody hates Jews, that's not the point in question, that's the selling point of the Israeli government so that they can continue with a genocide.

Yes, Hamas is bad, yes, Hamas leaders can be put against a wall and shot.

The point is that Hamas wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Israel. I'm not talking about Israel merely existing, I'm talking about the Israeli government randomly killing Palestinians for the past 50 years, treating them worse than animals and mostly: The Israeli government fucking funded Hamas so that it could exist and be the enemy they needed to fuck with the Palestinians.

So fuck you, your bullshit and the horse you rode on.

I mean....Well....lots of people hate Jews.

Absolutely, and I appreciate that you pointed it out as being the Israeli government (and their military complex/IDF) that continues the atrocities target than the people as a whole. Personally I wish we could bury the lot (Hamas, and the corrupt members of the govt+IDF) upside down beneath a public outhouse.

If anything, it seemed that many had enough of Netanyahu's corruption and things might change there... before recent events, which to me is rather suspicious as well.

I hate jews.

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

It's actually more like Hamas = bad Israel = worse Palestinians = victims of genocide

I wouldn't label whole ethnicities as good or bad.

It's funny how you ridicule the young for believing in propaganda, whilst spewing it yourself.

Jews aren't my enemies, and I'm pretty happy about that because I see what they do to families of their enemies.

Doesn't matter what faith or religious persuasion, killing children is wrong. It's not that hard of a moral compass.
