Just curious what the hive mind over there is thinking. I used to lurk Reddit before I switched to Lemmy during the mass exodus.
I’ve really just been getting most of my news from Lemmy these days and not paying much attention to MSM. Obviously the things I’m reading here sounds like Isreal is commuting war crimes with their amped up response from the original attack.
Curious if there’s any kind of divide on Reddit regarding the conflict.
Well Palestine does hate women and lgbtq people, so that checks out. What I don't get is why the lemmy hivemind supports them.
I don't support Palestine, I support their basic human rights so I'm against them getting obliterated with bombs. Plus, there are more layers to what Israel is doing to palestinians specifically in the West Bank and then they come to us crying playing the victim. Israel wants to be a colonial power, subjugating the Palestinian people, murdering their people, stealing their land. That's fine! Just don't come and bitch at me when those people hate you and want to kill you, and dont call me antisemitic when I ask you to fuck off. It's pretty simple.
That's about where I'm at. The more I learn about it, the less I'm sure of. There really aren't any good guys to root for, they're just two groups fighting over land. I would prefer it if they didn't blow each other up, but what do I know?
I argue with everyone because this conflict is such a long and complex history that:
— everyone wants to consider a vs b, but what about c? We really need to consider three sides
– there’s plenty of history of violence on both sides so your result may differ based on your starting point
