@bitchboss I'm ashamed of the world at this point. People who couldn't possibly be more far removed or uneducated on Israel and Palestine have taken it upon themselves to have an opinion. I'm pretty far removed myself, but it shouldn't be that hard for someone with zero cultural context or any horse in the race to see a bombed out school, and think "well I certainly don't like this."

I know there's only so much time in the day and we don't all have the time to educate ourselves on 75 years of history, but if you really need all that historical context before you can confidently decide that thousands of dead civilians is a problem for you, then frankly you're a piece of shit. And if you've lived through multiple US wars that were so obviously about resources as opposed to w/e their excuse was at the time (e.g. WMDs), and you still can't come to the conclusion that whatever this is about, it's got next to nothing to do with what those civilians believe or who they voted for, then you're a really stupid piece of shit.

I can only hope that people are less apt to believe everything they see on TV or the internet elsewhere in the world than in North America. I was pretty impressed when I spent a week in Ireland a few months back to see a lot of very public support for Palestine.
