The thing the pro-Palestine idiots don’t get is how this contributes to creating the ideal conditions for a genocide.

Look at it from the Israeli perspective, practice some of that empathy that these activists love to yammer on about without ever once in their lives exhibiting.

I mean, these are the same types who think death and rape threats will somehow magically make people think trans women aren’t a potential problem in prisons, women’s shelters or toilets. “Accept us into your places of safety or we’ll beat you up” isn’t the sales pitch they seem to think it is.

Anyway, you are told that your country is committing genocide, by the same people who initially celebrated an act of mass rape against your country. When that turned out to be less popular than they expected, they turned to denying the rape happened. When that didn’t work, they started protesting anyone talking about the rape.

These same people targeted Jews who don’t live in or even particularly support Israel for harassment, blocking Jewish students from going to classes. They include professors who went to tell the US congress that calls for genocide against you aren’t necessarily hate speech.

Understand, UNRWA was part of this, UN workers took part in the attack, the UN taught Hamas propaganda in Gaza, the UN dithered on admitting the attack was a war crime. The UN is infested with the same types of people.

Do you believe the people telling you your country is committing genocide? On an emotional level, do you believe that the pro-Palestinian side is a reliable source of that sort of information? And if you don’t believe that, what information sources do you really have to know if a genocide is happening?
