So let me refer to my "stop using antisemitic words" chart...

The ~~Little Girl~~ "Hamas Militant" was ~~Filming~~ "Threatening with a deadly weapon" Israeli soldiers from the safety of her own ~~Home~~ "Hamas Base".

I'm kinda in a political vacuum and, being Jewish, am kinda shielded from being called antisemitic, but are people for realsies being called antisemitic for saying statements like "a little girl was filming from her house when the IDF shot her," or is it more hyperbolic than literal? I mean, I've known some assholes from the Jewish community who would probably pull that shit to get out of an argument, but does anyone actually listen to them? I mean, I'm not gonna take hygiene tips from someone covered in dog shit...

Either way, selfishly, I just want my family in Israel to be safe; idealistically, the Israeli state should have been checked before it had even gotten to this point. You can't destroy people's lives and homes and then think they're gonna roll over when you corner them.

I hope against all logic that there's a quick and less lethal end to all this. After that, it'd sure be fucking great to see some repercussions for war crimes and crimes against humanity for once. I can't even imagine what the poor Palestinian survivors of this are gonna be like when it's all over. How can you ever go back to any reasonable form of daily living?

Yes, it's a shame, but tbf Israelis really freaked out after Oct 7 and now see threats everywhere.

There was a strong supporting reaction at first, but then the Israelis started saying some dark things and some people are starting to feel an awkward vibe.

Hamas needs to be rooted out, it's just a lot of Israelis seem to see all gazans as hamas now, which is problematic, and lash out with "antisemitism!" When people try to deescalate.

I think I get what you were going for with that correction. Wanna know their government's secret though, Cap? They're always ~~angry~~ genocidal.
