    The thing about fartlow is, in her thousands and thousands of nonsense tweets, afaik she's never actually stated what she thinks the solution is to the situation in Israel / Palestine. Does she want to exterminate all Palestinians? Does she think they will all just evaporate into ether one day? Does she believe in a two-state solution, or maybe even just one state where everyone's dignity is respected and the Israelis make amends (like right of return).

    I suspect it's some combination of the first two, which is why she's never said what she thinks the solution is. Because then she'd be revealed as the monster she is

      She won't have a coherant plan because she doesn't want to think about it. She wants them to go away and be quiet. If you gave her the option of Palestinains either being exterminated or being given I dunno, a brand new place to live far away she probably would choose the latter. However she'd pick the first if there wasn't a choice.

      Basically, the reason people like her get so angry at injustice is because they know deep down how much they benefit from it. At some point along the line they've quietly decided in their own minds that they're OK with the injustice. As most people think of themselves as good people, being reminded that they really, really aren't tends to result in them directing all that anger at the victims of the injustice.
