What’s happening in Gaza has happened for decades. Only the media is highlighting the issue now, and we all know why.

We only care about this one because we’re invested in the Holy War.

I’ve been saying I hate what Israel does (and to some extent Israel itself since it’s it’s sole purpose it seems) for a long time but saying that made me antisemitic. (Even though my disdain has nothing to do with them practicing any kind of religion, but is because of their actions.)
Now it’s more acceptable.

This is the world we live in, my friend. Truth is not something you’re allowed to say. just look at reddit.

I wouldn’t go that broad no. There is just a ton of propaganda in America about how Israel is good, and a lot of whitegloving around anything Jewish because of the power some hold in society, especially in the media.

Bro if I hear one more brick dented moron mention holy war I swear on my life…

Dude, I don’t care either. I’m using it in jest. I think it’s dumb that we’re letting a holy war take up so much of our attention. Whether we like it or not, it is a holy war, and that’s the problem.

There have been plenty of uproar about the crisis in Yemen, but ultimately the US didn’t budge from their support of Saudi Arabia, and then… what more is there to do?
It’s hard to build up momentum for a movement without the media on your side, and now Israel Palestine is in the news a lot, so that takes the focus. I sure would love to give more aid to stop bloodshed, poverty, and other crises.

It’s about time that we started accepting the US we are being bed with the military industrial complex. No matter how left leaning of the veneer is’
