The worst part about it is that, once you know this, every interaction you have with people saying "bibi is a monster" shows you just how bad faith almost everyone involved in the discourse is. After two years of flattening gaza to raucous cheers, unprecedented land grabs in the west bank, and an unprovoked war against iran you'd think people would have looked into a single government official beyond the prime minister to inform their analysis of Israel's motivations, but no.

It's just another empty platitude people can walk out as justification for sitting on their hands while unlimited war crimes play out, day after day, commited by thousands of individuals from the top of the government down to iof privates. No critical thought necessary. Same as the liberals blaming trump as the sole cause of America's issues. It demonstrates either a lack of awareness or an unwillingness to engage with the larger systemic issues for the sake of avoiding the premise.

I would say these people should be ignored but its more than half of the people in the discourse and like 99% of the people with any real power. Idk what to do about that.

I was under the impression that the entire population of Israel have been brainwashed against Palestinians from birth for decades now.

There's a tweet going around a little while ago about an American who didn't know that Rome was in Italy. Apparently there's a Rome in the US and she only knew about that one.

Do American schools teach their kids literally anything at all? How can you not know where Rome is.

Pff, yeah right, and New Amsterdam isn't in Europe.

I wish this wasn't true. My teen thought this for a few minutes and I had to correct her. I thought she was gaslighting me at first.

There are several high-value sites in the state, and I-5 is an obvious target just generally. JBLM, Whidbey Island Station, Everett Naval, and major power infrastructure like Hanford or Grand Coulee.

To be fair if we're talking geographically, it'd be more fair to compare knowledge of the US to knowledge of the whole of Europe.

If we're talking about history it's a bit different.

Akschually, Da Rules state t

He also didn't wipe Iran off the map like Miriam Adelson and Netanyahu wanted.

This concludes the extent of his negotiating skills.

Israel is like a cat pushing things off a table. They maintain firm eye contact while committing war crimes, just to demonstrate how little respect they have for their supposed allies. Of course Trump can't see that is their game because he has the IQ of a watermelon.

Ahh. Missed that. Thanks.

Nationalism isn't something evil inherently, I like to remind of the "singing revolution", a peaceful separatists movements of the baltic states to split ties with the soviet occupying force: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Way

But it can very quickly turn into something evil if utilized by powerhungry regimes

There was that Bluesky or mastodon post going around of writer I had never heard of telling people that now is the time for violence. Hundreds of upvotes in several communities.

Some random person with a pseudonym and a blog that writes like an angry 14 year old who's never left the house.

I asked who this person was and why they were directing peaceful protests to become violent instead of doing it themselves and boy howdy did I get dog piled for it.
