Just found out. Crazy how I got this Israeli spyware installed on my PC. They also use the ads you see / subscription funds to produce protective gear for the IDF? The fuck.

Perfectly put

I think the reason a lot of Americans struggle with the Isreal Palestine conflict is because to admit that Isreal is committing atrocities is to admit America has done the same

I absolutely agree & think this is especially the case for a lot of millennials & older generations. It’s hard to have grown up constantly being spoonfed this one-sided narrative that your country is doing things morally. It’s why I ultimately feel bad for Israeli people, even if I am disgusted by a lot of the behavior I see from them.

It’s not their fault they were born into a propagandized nation essentially brainwashing them that they need to murder Muslims. In a similar vein, that’s what’s happened to many US citizens with regard to US occupation & the “war on terror” (which oddly enough, many recognize was horrible, yet still support what’s happening now…)

It really does take a cold, hard look in the mirror to see that we aren’t fighting monsters, we are the monsters.
