    That’s just lemmy at this point. The conflict really helped show that it’s not only the extreme lemmys that are like this, but the most federated ones as well.

          I’ve noticed lots more people realizing that the cries of “anti-Semitism” are just bad faith efforts to derail criticism of the State of Israel’s actions, and noticing the efforts to manufacture a pro-Israel consensus by trying to cancel, threaten, and intimidate people (especially university students) who speak up on behalf of Palestine.

          But, anyway, I wrote to my Congressman about the genocide in Gaza, and the mass-mailed response I got back indicates that he’s concerned about it, and has heard a lot of the same concern from constituents. The level of criticism of the State of Israel in his message would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. It’s not just Lemmy, and it’s not confined to echo chambers.

          Nah I didn’t spend years studying middle east politics for nothing. Hell I hate terrorists. I’ve seen how they can poison a society, in person. But I also have a very strong opinion on people commiting war crimes. The objective evidence, which includes testimony of IDF veterans, supports the claims of Palestinians.
