  • They weren’t talking about state actors. They were talking about regular people, and I think they’re correct. Even in Germany, roughly 50% believe Israel is wrong. This number was significantly lower before Oct 7th.

    You can see the growing support for Palestine across Europe. This was never present before Oct 7th. There are so many grassroots protests popping up now, even in countries that don’t have a sizeable Muslim or Arab population.

    Israel has lost the propaganda war. It destroyed the narrative that it was ever a progressive state concerned with the well being of Palestinians (only targeting Hamas). More and more people are seeing it for the genocidal ethnostate that it is.

    I can tell you that the divide between Palestine supporters and supporters of the zionist entity is only going to get deeper. Everyday the ratio of far-right individuals to regular people increases for the pro-israel side. Fewer and fewer regular people are siding with israel, they’re moving to the Palestine camp.

    This is also going to deepen the divide. Anyone pro-israel will be seen as a racist zealot, this is the future.















  • This seems like a western left space criticism. I don’t know if left spaces outside of the west suffer from the same issues, and I’m going to lean toward “no” with that in mind.

    Left spaces in the global south have less room to be “picky” about their leaders and members. They have standards, but aren’t too focused on being sinless like you said.

    Palestinian communists probably support Hamas, despite their religious nature and (expected) reactionary beliefs. Who else do they have to fight against genocide and colonialism, after all?






  • When people get this toxic it’s best to just cut them out. I don’t know your situation, but thinking about it with regards to my situation: I don’t think I would keep up a relationship with this individual. She’s not an immediate family member, after all she’s a great-aunt.

    She strikes me as a sad and pathetic individual. Someone who’s death won’t mean as much as they think it would to other people. What I’m trying to say is this: she overvalues herself to the point where she thinks she can just start an aggressive argument with you.

    I’m not surprised she’s a trump supporter, I have people in my family who are perfectly normal people until you bring up specific politics. I don’t talk with those people about politics, but they at least have the decency to not open up (or attack) me for my beliefs.

    She has no right to treat you this way, none of this is your fault. You’re a sane and moderate individual, don’t ever think you’re wrong or are being too hard on her.

    You’re good 👍🏾 don’t be hard on yourself, you did nothing wrong.
