BigPurpleSkiSuitI lived in Israel for 3 years back in 2013-2016, so far all of my friends are alive, and they've all been called up from the reserves. It pains me to see how utterly ignorant liberal America, and the US in general is when it comes to the issue to the point where on Oct 7th I see friends and acquaintances posting on their gram "I support Palestine" and being totally oblivious to the fact that not only are a massive portion of the civilians of Palestine supportive of Hamas' actions that day, but the ones who aren't are used as pawns of those murderous kleptocratic governments.
People, particularly the liberal group in the US, love supporting an underdog regardless of what actually occurred or is going on, and it's personal for me because I lived there, know what goes on, and have friends who may be going into the worst possible battlefield I could imagine in Gaza where they will face drone warfare, and the rampant use of human shields by Hamas in an urban setting while Hamas fights out of the tunnels they've spent the last 15 years building and operating out of under civilian infrastructure.
I’m sorry to hear man. I know some people who spent time in Israel, my neighbor lived their his whole childhood and just visited like 2 weeks before it went down. Luckily his family is safe.
It does piss me off too, it’s straight up homicide to innocent people that both sides are doing, but to people saying they “support Palestine” after they killed women and children is sick in the head.
Its one of those situations where I see it as both sides being pretty messed up, fighting some pointless religious war.
Hope your homies are alright, can’t even imagine what they’re going through.
