“We didn’t know so many people hated Israel. I don’t think these young people know a lot about Israel or about the conflict. I think the older people do, but not this younger generation,”
“When it comes to antisemitism or anti-Zionism, it’s often pretty hard to tell the difference. If you hate the Jewish state, then you hate Jews.”

ah yes, recognized knowers of world events and their context: older americans.
my parents were alive during korea and couldn’t name any details about it except “the north was bad”. never heard of literally anything the CIA has admitted to doing, MK-ULTRA, Church Committee, Operation Cyclone, Operation Bloodstone… goodluck on murkier events like Operation Gladio. even more recently, they couldn’t name any sects of islam relevant to the 2003 invasion/occupation of iraq. they barely remember the Shah or that the US/UK used to run pakistan and iran like client states. never heard of the BCCI or the Durand Line. they couldn’t tell you anything about the Opium Wars. they know Ollie North lied, but not what he lied about or how it related to Nicaragua. or what went on in Nicaragua.
Me sadly defying the haters saying I shouldn’t be given billions of dollars in weapons to continue my child killing project (it will increase property values).
Yes, and the ruling, political, and media classes are pissed that people have learned about it. They’ve put so much time and effort into keeping people believing that its “complicated”
“Israel is an illegitimate settler state that must either face reintegration like South Africa or be destroyed and consigned to the dustbin of history” is like the bedrock understanding in all those encampments lmao they gonna learn
