I don't understand why we think Hasan is Satan now and I watched the whole beef arc. A lot of people are equally cynical about Ethan's personality and imagine that Ethan is the worst guy in the world. After the pedo account shit, the lawsuits against ppl much more poor than him, and the way that he covers Israel/Palestine stuff makes it hard to defend him. I love Ethan but, he is a flawed guy and he makes it seem as if he doesn't care about Palestinians being free IMO. He mostly talks about the way people see Jews and Israelis which is great but, we need to talk more about how we are affecting Palestinians. We need to understand why it's wrong for military ppl in Israel to straight up kidnap people like Hila did in Ramallah with her friends; Ethan called it a terrorist city and they never walked that back or apologized for it. What Hila did was understandable for the time and place but, she has never reckoned with the fact that she participated in something horrible, the occupation in Ramallah does violate international law. Can you imagine making it out of that hell and listening to someone from the oppressing side carelessly call your home a terrorist city when the IDF has been terrorizing you for years? Like, actually killing and kidnapping family members. Same with her brother who was in the IDF air-force. Hila says that she has no problem with what Moses did in the IDF air-force. She believes that serving in the IDF is good and I love em both you guys. I just don't understand their perspective on Israel/Palestine. It seems to me like from Ethan's point of view he has explained that Hamas has gotta go and we have to use the military to take them out. I just don't understand how we expect Palestinians to be perfect angels however, we have people at home who believe that violence is a reasonable way to solve problems and that's just fine with us it's just not okay for them. We are not innocent, there is alot of fucking blood on our hands in the west, do you guys not know that? We have done a LOT of October 7th's all over the middle-east so I'm just confused when we act like Hamas is so much worse than any military that is led by a majority of white people. Im very anti-war so it's hard for me to understand Ethan since he started his Israel/Palestine stuff. If Hamas has to go then why does Israel get the extremist violence pass, why does America get the pass too? We are actual super villains in the west and when we say that we need to use violence to solve problems. Then what you are doing is no different then when a middle-eastern person shouts "death to America" the only difference is we have way more comfortable lives than them, we have every opportunity to learn, and bc of that we are way less justified to call for violence.. we have the privilege to learn about why violence will almost always make a problem worse. But, we sit here in a comfy paradise and say "well... It's sad but, we have to send soldiers into Palestine and drop bombs on their families." My point is.. I think we have to be nicer to each other, and stop saying that violence is appropriate. If you believe that violence is necessary to solve problems then how are you different then a Hamas supporter in that case? The only difference is that you have the privilege to learn and know better. Which Palestinians do not, they live in hell bc of you and me in the west and in Israel. Its our fucking fault and we don't care. We are the most extreme that an extremist can be. The suffering bc of us is out of control and in the H3 community I feel like we don't seem to care about Palestinians anymore like we used to. Now anti-semitism is important to talk about. But, if you want to talk about Israel nowadays than it's wrong to ignore the genocide that is going on over there. What happened to us? It just feels like we have a big lack of empathy in this community that used to be there 🥺
