    Maybe it’s cuz I’m not a native speaker, but I don’t see it as an implication that Israel has the right to do that. More that it’s a foregone conclusion that they’re GOING to do that because they’re horrible.

    If anything, I read it as someone who agrees that Israel fucking sucks, but misses the point of the message itself, which can happen from time to time.

      Of course it is a foregone conclusion for us sane people in the know. But the reason these people had to do it is because Zionists kept spamming how activists should just go to Gaza and bring them food themselves.

      By proving that this is impossible, Zionists can no longer use the excuse and instead have to change their argument to “Israel’s right to starve Palestinians”

      Greta called their bluff and forced their hand. And she risked her life to do so as Israel has killed activists doing this in the past.

      which can happen from time to time.

      In those cases someone will likely respond or edit the comment to show they didn’t mean it in a bad way or something. Staying silent after making a point is more on point for someone who knew exactly what their comment will cause. You might be right, but I am not putting my money on that in this case.

          In real life i try to give people the benefit of the doubt, try to stand up for the underdog, give people second chances etc but in my life i’ve come to see that, unlike in real life, there are actors who want to come across like regular people but are not really a regular guy with just another opinion. I have no clue about this user in particular, but i tend to be extra sceptical when it’s about a controversial topic - especially if a country, community or company involved who has in other cases hired people to influence opinions via social media. Isreal is one of those, so something like them never responding is more sus than when it’s some unimportant topic. Still think it’s good to be a positive person, but you might lend someone a hand you wouldn’t if you knew their true intention (though again, i dont know what this guys intention is).

            I totally get it. Thanks for offering your perspective :)

            I appreciate it a lot. I hate that Israel is considered “controversial” instead of unanimously awful, but that’s a conversation for another day.
