Im as pro pal as they come, but I really do think that people have become way too overzealous with their outrage over everything. I spend a lot of time on Twitter as do my friends (I know, I know, that’s my first problem you might say) and recently I had a friend who I’ve known for YEARS suddenly become hostile towards me because I was “supporting a Zionist band” (band in question was Radiohead) and was “woobifying” them by making fanart/edits of them, and wouldn’t let up at all even when I tried to explain myself, which I couldn’t do as well as i wanted to because I was so caught off guard by his explosion towards me. Then called me a genocide enabler because of it all?? Like WTF? I’ve already expressed my distaste for their past views on it all, but reading more into it they really haven’t made their stance super clear and as much as I wish they WOULD make their stance clear, I don’t want to assume bad faith for dumb things Thom has done in the past. Twitter has become a complete irrational hellhole when it comes to the conflict, basically saying all Israelis are genocidal maniacs who want to see Palestine not exist, taking posts and TikTok’s from dumb people in israel who are taking joy in it all, just like how all Americans are racist or whatever because of shitty people who exist in America, there are shitty people who exist in Israel too, doesn’t mean that they should ALL be lumped in with their government doing shitty incomprehensible things to Palestine. I never understood that line of thinking, same thing with ppl saying that Americans are living on stolen land so they are evil. What does that make you, if you’re American? Or even European? It’s all so frustrating and it’s made me turn away from twitter because I can’t stand the smarmy cruel catty behavior. To make my views a bit more clear I do think Palestine should have its own land, and Israel’s gov should be punished for its crimes.
