(42,033 posts)Some of these people hate Jews.
Others have no critical thinking skills and believe what they watch on TikTok.

(31,903 posts)there were many people in the USA that supported Hitler and the German Nazi's too.
As for the person or persons that claimed that "Israel killed their own people on Oct 7th", they are a bit behind the curve... since the leadership of Hamas in Qatar not only claimed credit for the attack that killed 1200 civilians including old people women and babies ( not that killing military age men is any better ) but he went on to claim Hamas would do it again and again.
and his identity is verified since he has been on video tape many times (even before AI).
I am very sorry to share a planet with people like this much less a nation, a state, and a region ( I live in the Bay Area ).
So far left that they are RWNJs. Pretty soon they will be telling us that JFK Jr. is going to reveal himself as the true President of the USA or some such shit.

(14,578 posts)I've read some state that the German Nazi Party defied traditional left-right ideological classification. This always made sense to me, theoretically, but I could never conceptualize it in real life. That gave me some solace in thinking that if faithful adherents of Nazism all died out, then it would be gone.
Sadly, some of these people supporting Hamas appear to represent another incarnation.

(60,170 posts)Fifty years ago, Daniel Ellsberg was invited to speak at my college. Before he was through, some woman jumped up on the stage, grabbed the microphone and started literally yelling that Ellsberg was an agent of the CIA, and we shouldnt believe a word he said. Mass psychosis, I guess.

(4,715 posts)I need to take a break.
Watching that video triggered my panic disorder.
I've kept it together pretty well after 10/7, but for now - at least for a little bit - I need to not watch or read the news. That was my therapist's advice a few weeks ago, and I should have taken it. I'll be back when I'm better regulated.

The world is full of awful news, and the attitudes here can trigger all sorts of PTSD. Take a break from it if it will help your mental health and please know that you are supported.

(31,903 posts)not a single person demonstrating for Palestine, especially woman and members of the LBGTQ+ community, would ever want to go live in a Palestine actually run by Hamas or any Islamic fundamentalist organization. This includes most women who have immigrated here from Palestine.

Yet we have people who dare to claim no one supports Hamas or terrorism.

(12,529 posts)Would they support ISIS? The Taliban? Would they claim they, too, are freedom fighters?
Give me a frigging break!
Not a good or even decent look.

(14,578 posts)Thinking there are Nazis and those opposing Nazis. Pick a side and brand the other side as Nazis. Ironically, I'm engaging in simplistic analysis.

(744 posts)What's remarkable to me is that even if you disagree with the Israeli government and their reaponse, Israel is still by far the most progressive area in the Middle East when it comes to women's rights and gay rights.

(36,930 posts)I do not support Netanyahu but I do support the right of Israel to exist. HAMAS is a terrorist organization with the stated goal of eradicating Jews from Israel. It is what they are and what they stand for.
Sorry, have no sense of empathy for any of them. They use human shields.
And I can be sure that many Palestinians are not terrorists carrying around weapons or committing terrorist acts themselves, they more than likely do hate Jews and support their leaders in their efforts.

(2,498 posts)What is wrong with these people? I didnt automatically assume that they were antisemitic; I assumed that they were brainwashed by anti-Israel propaganda. Why they chose to believe that propaganda, I dont understand. Some of them sounded like they were scripted. Im just baffled by this entire exchange.
