Not so hard

Politics is just politics until your own life, or the lives of your loved ones, are at grave risk

Then, it's no longer a political statement, it's a requirement for survival

In his case, ask yourself the question:

Is it a political statement to say you're against genocide?

I myself believe that it was a political statement, and if left unchecked, there would be others doing the same, but for a different cause. I guess if the cause was close to home, you would feel compelled to express your feelings, 'and I get that,' but looping back to, let one do it, and then there were two. Now this comment is only my opinion, and I'm glad to say, I didn't have to make the call.

If everyone was intelligent and reasonable there would be no problem. But people turn politics and humanitarian causes into shit slinging and racism, and we don’t have the time to sift it all.

I keep hearing the Palestinian anti genocide movement is against Israel and not Jews in general, but the truth is somewhere in the middle and it’s ugly. Lots of open anti semitism in those protests where I live.

Expel those people and we can all talk reasonably.

Before y’all get mad, look at all the colonialism and genocide your people committed and continue to do so, and maybe fix your own shit in your own country
