What a world where this is a controversial take.
Not so much controversial as just shitty journalism
It says her statement has 77,000 likes, and then gives six examples of people getting angry for no fuckin reason, like they do
Waste of fuckin electrons
Seriously. Two things can be true at the same time. Hamas is a piece of shit terrorist organization that needs to go, and what they recently did was absolutely horrific. AND Israel’s aggressive bombing campaign is hurting civilians and like the US did after 9/11, is radicalizing people and helping terrorists to recruit.
We’ve seen this story play out over and over. The only thing that’s changed is an increasing amount of bodies being thrown into the meat grinder.
Probably because it could allude to "Israel must surrender" or "Gaza must surrender."
The world is a little bit more complicated than fantasy-land tweets from celebrities.
And comments like yours are the reason this world is so shitty. You're basically taking a very clear and neutral statement and imply that this "could theoretically also be a statement from the side I don't like!!!!". And that's lazy at best.
If "don't kill innocent people" is too complicated, then maybe it's a you problem, not a world problem.
Calm down.
You should look up what 'platitude' means then come back.
I think you need to brush up on your reading comprehension.
You don't offer anything to comprehend. All your comments in this thread boil down to "it's too complicated, better to do nothing".
And that is lazy or stupid or downright evil, but not the "aloof" take you might think it is. It's intellectual capitulation.
Alright man, you clearly don't understand English very well so I'm gonna make the executive decision and block you.
Ironically, that's exactly your response to this situation: ignore the problem and blame everyone else.
