    Lebanon is burning.
    As awful as things have been over the last two weeks, I can’t help but think they’re not as bad as they could be.

    There are now skirmishes in Lebanon, Syria (but honestly how), and even Iraq. US soldiers and contractors have been injured.

    Gaza is under siege but not necessarily anything on the ground, just constant bombardment.

    It’s harassment. No one has to support either Israel or Palestine.

    It’s almost as they’ve already forgotten we’ve been fighting against terrorism and militants for 20 years. Some drone attacks will not scare us.

    I don’t know if you’ve realized it yet, the wokest and most-leftist activists are usually Jewish. I wouldn’t try to conflate being woke with anti-Semitism.

    Stereotyping and victim blaming.

    Im so glad so many Jews and Israeli citizens utilize basic empathy skills and are very introspective.

    You of all people should recognize that. The whole alt-right great replacement theory is based on the idea that liberal Jews inclusivity is actually so they can destroy the white US. The trope of the women wearing a pink uterus hat with blue hair is supposed to be Jewish.

    The people I saw in the aggressive "Free Palestine from the river to the sea" protests and riots around the world designed to intimidate Jewish people did not appear to be Jewish to me. But you can believe or make up whatever you want.

    Misleading in that there is an implication that any one in the location they are posting them could possibly have information about how to find them.

    I don't have a problem with them being posted though. It's political propaganda and it's effective. Go for it, post it. I wouldn't tear it down either.

    I don't have a problem with anyone calling it propaganda though because that's exactly what it is. Even if you don't find it a tad misleading, that isn't a requirement for it to be propaganda.

    Yeah, he's right. Anything reported by the Hamas Health org is unreliable.

    There are reports as well by NGOs and just logically it's impossible for them to not being killing kids considering they are bombing the **** out of Gaza.

    No problem rejecting Hamas propaganda though, but we also don't need to play dumb about what's happening.
