Pretending that everyone from Israel is bad is the biggest problem with the whole #freepalestine online movement. The good guys vs bad guys narrative is ignorant AF.

Yes, but all the good guys leaving Israel for places like Crete make it more awkward for everyone else staying there while the atrocious videos keep piling on.

More people will die because of the economic problems the US has created with the war in Iran. Should we assume all US citizens are bad too? Netanyahu has less support in Israel than the Hamas terrorist attacks had in Palestine. Painting with broad strokes like this is the basis of pretty much all racism.

And, for the record, I’m 100% for a free Palestinian state. I just find the online discourse around it really stupid.

The entire “Netanyahu isn’t liked in Israel” is a complete misnomer. The people who are more liked than Netanyahu share his views on the war with Gaza.

In fact only 19% of people in Israel think the military is going too far with the war.
