Oh, and apparently people only support Palestine because “They’re losing.” And “It doesn’t matter whose wrong or right they’re both just fighting for survival. Who cares about supporting either of them.”

Other highlight “Palestine has homophobia built into it’s law. Like Russia.” Said by a cis person too lmao

Hahahaha fuck me I wish I had the energy and skill to school people like this but I just can’t be bothered hahaha I’m so tired.

“Both sides bad” types are even more insufferable than out Zionists sometimes.

    This reminded me of a comment I saw years ago on reddit (r/vegancirclejerk to be precise) someone was stanning Isntreal because they have a large portion of vegans and attributed the fact to them suffering from the Holocaust and thus understanding how that works within the meat industry.

    Yeah that’s all well and good but they’re literally doing a Holocaust 2 to Palestinians! Liberals and their consequences I swear to fuck

      A little tangential to your point because it doesn’t justify Israel’s actions or anything, but there’s a really good book I just wanted to share called Eternal Treblinka that explores the views of holocaust survivors in relation to animals, among other things. I imagine the person you talked with read this, but had some twisted takeaways.

      “In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.”

      Hitler was a vegetarian and he fucking committed the Holocaust. Plenty of fascists who like animals more than minorities

        he didn’t care about animals, it was purely health/gi tract issues cause by his meat-heavy up-yours-woke-moralists diet and his doctors told him he had to cut out meat but he still had cheat meals and found it difficult to give up

        on and off, but yeah. A large portion of the population being vegan is the only good thing about Israhell. Most moral army with their vegan boots that they use to crush baby skulls.
