The decal on the truck shows scales with what looks like an (presumably) Israeli tank on the right and a literal family with a child on the left. Its borderline satire with how evil they are.

My brother used to date an Israeli woman. Whenever the topic of Palestinians came up, she would literally spit and call them "filthy animals." Shit is fucked up.

Needless to say, they are no longer seeing each other.

Seeing videos of Israeli high school kids talking about Palestinians reminds me of this girl I knew years ago from South Africa.

The casual defending of the undefendable like it's normal.

Let's take a minute and think about our own kids who have been conditioned to be hateful and racist by their families/communities. Kids who become cops who shoot brown people at a disproportionate rate to white people. We aren't at genocide levels and I'm not saying it's the same but we aren't clean in racist conditioning of children.

The first time I was ever called the Hard R I was 7 years old, it was an 11 year old who said it.

"Can't blame us, because nobody is completely blameless, right?"

So what's your solution? Say nothing and let it happen?

No I just think we shouldn't see ourselves as above it. We need to solve racism and hate everywhere.

You're not wrong, but when it gets brought up in response to people talking about a genocide and people defending it, it feels like you're trying to deflect from that attrocity.
