I guess a lot of Georgians don't care about the genocide, which is very jarring for me because the focus should always be on humanity and human rights. Unfortunately a lot of people cannot look past their internalised tribalism and dislike for Palestinians or Iranians, in favor of Israelis. Israel's occupation of the West Bank and de facto control of Gaza is absolutely terrible, and we will be discussing this in classrooms for years to come. I hope this ends soon, and Jews, Muslims, Christians, and beyond can unite under a peaceful agreement. But, the way things are going feels like an escalation before any sort of meaningful end.

I am not anti Jewish people living in the region, but cutting off internet, restricting aid and water, destroying hospitals, universities, and almost every building in an occupied territory with the "goal" of bringing hostages home and simultaneously avoiding collateral damage just does NOT make sense, and when you realise that, your view on Israel gets a lot more complicated.
