    To be fair, our media here in the States is insanely horrible.

    I cannot fathom why so many Israelis are acting so evil. I actually don’t know a single Jewish person here that supports the genocide. Those I do now are actually amazingly upset about it.

      For starters, their media is genuinely worse. The politics is just as bad.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinians_as_animals_in_Israeli_discourse

      Rehavam Ze’evi, at the time Minister for Tourism, once referred to the 180,000 Palestinians working in Israel as a cancer, “lice” Israel must rid itself of.

      So that’s the baseline of discourse, and it goes downhill from there.

      I actually don’t know a single Jewish person here that supports the genocide.

      I’ve got family up in NYC who continue to insist it’s not a genocide and who will point to Oct 7th any time Israeli war crimes as mentioned.

      Of course, this same family will complain about how many fat black women there are on the subway and tell me how they’re having too many kids.

      So…
