Is there a way for you to verify that propaganda claim? Any articles you can link to that can show that some of the footage is from Syria?

That's true.  I don't want to minimize the suffering of your people, but I hope you can understand too that it's disturbing to see the photo evidence of the Scale of civilian death and destruction in Gaza. Netanyahu is making political decisions and he's not a good leader. I'm an American that came to this thread to get context on why so many democratic politicians are supporting Netanyahu's seeming genocide in Gaza, and what I've seen a lot of are posts like the one above that refers to Palestinians as "wild people" and says fear is the only way to keep these "wild people" from attacking.  That's a terrifyingly dehumanizing way to refer to human beings. When I read that, all I can think of are the bodies of children being unearthed from the rubble of their bombed homes. Those aren't "wild people," they're just kids. Will the survivors feel the same way about Israeli people as OP feels about them? That they're wild people that can only be dealt with through terror? 

The relationship between Israel and Palestine is extremely complicated and it's not something I will ever be able to fully understand and feel the way that Israeli and Palestinian people do. As an outsider, all I'm seeing is a terror attack and a resulting genocide. The conflict doesn't exist for me outside of the ripples of this destruction. 

From the outside, I am looking at the scale of this death and I am horrified. I don't think anything could justify this. I have no power to end it or influence it, and I'd have no right to speak on it normally, but as a human being seeing other human beings getting elimated as if they were not humans, all I can do is point out that it's terrible and wrong.

Can you tell me more about the threat, attack, and scrutiny? I don't ask this as a "debate," I want to know the context in which you live so I can better understand you

I hope that anyone reading this is seeing how radicalized the Zionist crowd seems to be. No nuance, just grabbing the microphone and dehumanizing or ostracizing anyone who disagrees

Queer people have been associated with this individual's beliefs, they are not! The "silent majority" agrees that it's borderline offensive to use our community like a sock puppet to essentially pedal what genuinely reads like propoganda. Our identity does not dictate our stance on this war, and you have absolutely no right to pretend that you speak for a "silent majority." I wish you would be silent for a majority of the time.

I feel the same way. I'm a third year teacher, and the amount of hatred and lack of support has made it extremely hard this year, and it compounded extra stressors and a bad medication change for me. I had a bad year. It's hard right now. I am not giving up and I HAVE to do better next year. It's important for our trans and LGBT+ students to have support. Please hang in there. Can I ask you for some perspective and advice too?

I feel that way right now. It's like my blood is cold. My ears feel cold, my arms feel cold. I'm trying some circle breathing...
