    Maybe I’m crazy, but this conflict is shining the biggest floodlight on all the fascism around the world. I hope enough people have the wherewithal to notice.

      Due process isn’t really a thing in most places. Commonwealth nations, especially, seem to grant “extraordinary powers” to their police forces.

            you might be entitled to wonder how many actually aren’t anti-Semites.

            Uh no, that’s racist as fuck.

                I’ve also heard that some black people in South Africa attacked white people. It’s not racist to think there were racially motivated black terrorist groups. It’s racist to think all black people were terrorists.

                You fluidly dance between Hamas, Arab nations, Palestinians, and “Islamic” people as a whole, because that’s how racists take the sins of individuals to justify their prejudice.

        Maybe if the governments capable of speaking up and de-escalating the situation in Gaza actually did so, people won’t be driven to extremes.

        It’s not easy to do the right thing. It is however, easy to oppress those that don’t have power, and this is an example of it.

        I’m not justifying anti-semitism, those people should absolutely be punished, but we can’t be tone deaf about how most governments allied with the West have become silent and aren’t willing do anything, let alone de-escalate the killing of innocent civilians.

        Keep in mind, all it takes are 2 protestors to be saying ‘gas the jews’ for your statement to be true.

        Honestly, you have to be a special kind of stupid to think any anti-Israel protests aren’t going to have at least some people saying that.
