i was speaking more broadly about some of the nuances around this incredibly complex situation…
and what does secularism have to do with the media not reporting on crimes against humanity?
racism is there, but other factors left out are:
the Jews control the media /s.
kidding, kidding, however Israel has invested a lot in foreign propaganda and flex’s a lot of soft power.
also: the conflict has been going on for quite some time, and it’s been genocidal most of that time… media likes new stuff on the news, be of capitalism… so after several decades of “Israel did some MORE genocidal shit”, it stops having that same punch that sells papers….
also, hamas has done a lot of fucked up shit… ignoring the Oct 7th attack, and all the made up stories about that, Palestinian suicide bombers used to be a common occurrence… it kinda fucks up sympathy when you blow up a public commuter bus (i know not most palestinians don’t support hamas, but israel’s propaganda has focused on equivocating the two)….
i could go on, but i feel like conversation is wasted here… only praise of her majesty is welcomed here.
(i think greta is great, btw… i think blindly following people and attacking people who say anything contrary is self defeating).

Yeah, no one is innocent here. No one. I don't see Hamas genociding Israelites here though, do you? Secularism is for sure at play here. Christian nations are against the dirty Palestinian Muslims and their barbaric practices /s. They got most of their book from Judaism. They all worship the same fricking God though, Muslims included. You can't make it make sense, and it never will to outsiders unfortunately. I am not uplifting anyone into the spotlight, but at least some people ha e actual morals.

well that’s the false dichotomy they always play, hamas isn’t palestine.
they certainly would be genocidal if they could….
but like, bombing a 5 year old kid doesn’t attack hamas…
