It's honestly amazing at a certain point the amount of somersaults they do to avoid literally ever saying "yes, what Israel is doing is wrong."
It's the same reactionary playbook for everything.
Cops kill a black teenager "yeah but why did he have a hoodie up and why are all these angry black people burning down Starbucks?!" Instead of "why the fuck do we continue to allow cops the power to kill anyone regardless of whatever reason is given?"
Or someone is homeless "why don't they work? How much are they spending on drugs? Why don't they just get a roommate?" It's never "homelessness has no place in a civilized society. Let's simply build some fucking houses and give them to people- yes, even the ones using drugs or not working."
I know people are conditioned into certain ways of thinking and all that. I was too. But it just becomes more and more unbelievable to me as days go by that they're simply just ignorant. Especially on Gaza. As soon as you saw one dead or dying kid, I mean come on man. Who the fuck goes "no that's fine. Stfu college kids!"
You're literally not even a human if you act like that. Being human isn't just breathing and eating and shitting it's also all the other stuff... actually it's ONLY the other stuff that separates us from other animals. Dogs and spiders breathe, eat and shit too. But humans are supposed to love, have compassion, supposed to care about children and the defenseless in society. These dipshit Zionists on Twitter absolutely know the statistic that nearly half of Gaza are under 18. Literally that one stat should be enough for any actual human to go "hold up..." Even if you don't value the lives of the young militants, ok, but you're just bombing kids. Or cheering for/condemning those who say to stop (same thing). At this late stage anyone who still even slightly supports the state of Israel is always going to be suspect for the rest of my life. It's like the people who in the 1970s who were obsessed with Rhodesia. You won't find many today who admit to supporting it, for good reason. It's a permanent stain that follows them forever.
It also just isn't true that humans are the only creature that shows empathy. We've observed altruistic and empathetic behaviors in lots of animals, and I think anyone with a pet would argue they can love
I feel your pain and frustration at having people get sucked into this demonic thinking that the egregore of capital requests. It does feel like people lose or even willingly give up their humanity. I'm thinking of my family who will find any reason to justify cop killings, homeless deaths, imperialism. Maybe it helps with cognitive dissonance in their twisted way as they can't face the challenges of what it would take to change their world and themselves. They were recently mocking the protests too when they were blocking the golden gate bridge? Why? I guess how dare people inconvenience other (white) people, while they're blind to every other injustice in this world. There may as well be an antichrist, as they are following them.

Not a good path to go down, especially when you're talking about online comments, not even direct involvement in atrocities.

Dogs and cats have more humanity than some of these rabid Zionists I've interacted with, TBH
