Some people really be seeing genocide images and saying “yeah this is why the left lost an election”, then complaining there’s not enough nuance in the Israel/Palestine discourse when their shit take is called out for being a shit take.

This one was made in reaction to Contrapoints’ take on the topic, but sadly, it’s not just her.

This is pure propaganda to slander the Israel army. They do not drop bombs on kids standing in open fields. They drop bombs on hospitals and homes to make sure that one bomb kills more than 1 child and even if it doesn’t kill them, it destroys the economy.

Gosh some of my siblings keep going on about nuance and how well researched they are (implying I am not) and then telling me palestinians are just as bad as israel (they both do violence, and violence is always bad actually 🙄)

you forgot the fact the land isn’t flat but already full of bomb craters and rubble

I get that it’s a slight against enlightened centrists huffing on their “civilized debate” fumes they just breathed out, but how much does it really matter?

It’s not like if everyone magically acknowledged that Israel is committing a genocide, we’re all going to organize just for that and overthrow our bourgeoisie states just for funding them. Having a couple more activists doing adventurism or protests won’t do anything either as history shows time and time again (in fact, the former tends to make things worse).

Both workers and influencers are powerless in this regard, unless the state of current things changes.
