The West is strongly pro-Israel and if you’re against the fascist regime in Israel people simply assume you’re an anti-semite, so at some point people just don’t give a damn anymore, especially because a lot of people using that term don’t really know what they’re talking about. I don’t understand how people can be so simplistic in their thinking as to equate “I’m against colonial settlers” with “I don’t like jews and they shouldn’t exist” but here we are.

In the end, it’s just brown-skinned people suffering and people in Israel have already accepted the reality of armed IDF soldiers being everywhere and looking through their stuff. And don’t get me started on the surveillance capabilities of Israel.

Cynicism doesn’t really help anyone but at least it’s a way to cope. Sigh.
