      They get downvoted or banned and tend to post less and less because of it. It’s one of those social media echo chamber things.

      72% of Palestinians say the October 7th attack was justified. It’s just just a few Hamas fighters hiding among completely innocent civilians. Most of them actively want the violence to continue, just not aimed at them.

      But most isn’t all, and it’s hard to blame an eight year old who has been told his whole life that his greatest calling is to sacrifice himself to kill some Jews while he sees an IDF soldier shooting out his brother’s kneecap.

      There are no good guys here. I’d be happy if we reduced or stopped Israel funding. But that’s not gonna make me fly a Palestinian flag while cheering for them like a sports team.
