Netanyahu fits that list no doubt

I agree, but their journey has been a lot more influential than your average protest (we need both).

In real life i try to give people the benefit of the doubt, try to stand up for the underdog, give people second chances etc but in my life i've come to see that, unlike in real life, there are actors who want to come across like regular people but are not really a regular guy with just another opinion. I have no clue about this user in particular, but i tend to be extra sceptical when it's about a controversial topic - especially if a country, community or company involved who has in other cases hired people to influence opinions via social media. Isreal is one of those, so something like them never responding is more sus than when it's some unimportant topic. Still think it's good to be a positive person, but you might lend someone a hand you wouldn't if you knew their true intention (though again, i dont know what this guys intention is).

which can happen from time to time.

In those cases someone will likely respond or edit the comment to show they didn't mean it in a bad way or something. Staying silent after making a point is more on point for someone who knew exactly what their comment will cause. You might be right, but I am not putting my money on that in this case.

To be honest i'm also a bit relieved by their reply, imagine they made a big deal out of kidnapping 15 protesters after being silent about a genocide all this time.

I really want to see the shelves on other topics now

Interesting how it enters the stage as a creature from hell and then it becomes softer and they walk off all cute.

If you zoom in there is a little bit of space left
