It’s 2025. Israeli soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre starving civilians trying to obtain food from aid centers. Countless doctors have been telling the world that Israeli snipers are routinely, deliberately shooting children in the head and chest throughout the Gaza Strip. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the leading genocide experts and human rights authorities are saying that a genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza. The New York fucking Times just published an op-ed by a Zionist genocide scholar who’s finally admitting that it’s a genocide.
There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities. It’s because you believe those horrific atrocities are good, and you want to see more of them.
I’m not taking offense, I’m just saying that if you use inflammatory phrasing you can’t turn around and surprised pikachu face when some people take it the “wrong” way.
Maybe i don’t care about the feelings of genociders. You don’t waste time arguing with pedophiles about the virtue of raping kids.
You use violence
Such intolerance is much of the problem @skisnow
Reacting within our narrow framework, neglecting to account for the vagaries of translation.

I’m on mastodon @skisnow
Mastodon users can follow hashtags. Not using them is considered impolite.
So is failing to add alt text to images.
See? You’ve learned something. Your narrow framework is not the whole world.
