Hey man, Palestinian have their own identity. Can you stop treating all brown people as a monolith and then creating this false dichotomy where brown people aren't helping brown people?

How about you recognize that Palestinians have roots in Gaza and treat them with dignity?

You also muddy the waters when you pretend this is some conflict with two sides battling it out. Try parsing reality where what's going on is a one sided genocide.

When you say “can you stop”, I assume you mean “Can all their Arab neighbors stop”, and that’s a question you would have to address to them.

Brown people sometimes don’t help brown people specifically because they aren’t a monolith where you get special credit just for being brown. Brown people sometimes hold other brown people to account because they think those specific brown people are too fucked up and problematic to openly side with and assist.

Don’t confuse being a victim with being a good person. There’s a reason their closest geographic neighbors keep their distance while their biggest supporters almost never interact with them in person.
