Not sure if it was the same thread, but there was the one where the OP was talking about how they thought some protest organizers were feds for saying they support Hamas and wishing for more Oct 7ths to happen to Israel. But I admittedly had a bit of a lib moment when I said that they're probably trying to more negative attention to the protests. I kind of missed the struggle session that developed in the thread, but I read through some of it and I did some introspection. Especially after I was walked outside and saw how "Free Palestine" and other fairly general Pro-Palestine posters and stickers had been torn off of poles and wall or had pro-Israel and stop antisemitism stickers put over them. There's people who already think that just believing that Palestinians deserve to exist and exist in their homeland with out the an oppressive apartheid state think that this is antisemitism, why should I care about optics at this point? So, yeah. I was wrong and I'm mad at myself for even thinking like that.
I think it's important to challenge your ideas and change your mind. It means you're always self reflecting and applying learned principles to real events. So it's good you got to the right conclusions. When Palestinians are actively being killed, it doesn't matter what we hypothetically say about the IDF.
