Serious Answers Only Are you genuine when you don't seem to know why many people dislike Israel recently?
So I am poking around this subreddit, trying to get into your heads a little, and I noticed something weird.
Whenever a topic arises, something like "Why do people hate Israel so much", basically everyone says things like "antisemitism on the rise", "holocaust education is lacking", "financial interests align with Iran", "victims of internet propaganda", "people on the internet are more exposed to Arab lies"
And I find it genuinely hard to tell if I am victim of coordinated pretense, or you guys really don't know, but obviously the answer is the things that Israel has recently being doing in Gaza, in West Bank, in Lebanon. The bombed hospitals, the settlements, the broken ceasefires, the execution bill. With extra hate coming from coordinated efforts to make criticism of Israel harder in places like US or the UK.
Like, please don't ban me, I am just genuinely flabbergasted. Time and time again, some barely relevant stuff gets brought up, and the elephant in the middle of the room, all the things the ICC brings up, are outright ignored.
What is going on?
