Oh, and apparently people only support Palestine because "They're losing." And "It doesn't matter whose wrong or right they're both just fighting for survival. Who cares about supporting either of them."
Other highlight "Palestine has homophobia built into it's law. Like Russia." Said by a cis person too lmao
Hahahaha fuck me I wish I had the energy and skill to school people like this but I just can't be bothered hahaha I'm so tired.
"Both sides bad" types are even more insufferable than out Zionists sometimes.
A little tangential to your point because it doesn't justify Israel's actions or anything, but there's a really good book I just wanted to share called Eternal Treblinka that explores the views of holocaust survivors in relation to animals, among other things. I imagine the person you talked with read this, but had some twisted takeaways.
“In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.”
