>That crowd only seems to care if they can actively oppose Israel or the current administration

Can you think of any motivating reasons for the crowd to focus on Israel specifically? Last I checked, the American government isn't sending billions of dollars of weaponry and political cover to the Iranian government, so that is one massive reason why protesting Israel makes more sense.

>have not made a peep about the thousands of Iranians recently murdered by their regime

I don't protest to signal my moral outrage, I do it to effect change in my elected leaders. It's not my responsibility to devote an equal amount of attention to every injustice — ignoring the cause and effects in that injustice with direct connection to politicians beholden to me — because people like you will find it "disturbing".

> ...disturbed that all my friends who posted non-stop about supporting Palestine...

> I'm saying if you were a very vocal pro-Hamas...

See how quickly things have turned from the first post manufactured to seem reasonable? No more "Curious" and "just asking questions".

How many pro-Hamas friends can a person have?! I don't know a single pro-Hamas person myself.

I believe you are being taken for a ride friend.

[hunterpayne]

That's projection. Because it is nearly impossible in practice split support as you claim you are. HAMAS is the government in Gaza. They intercept any and all aid that isn't administered directly to Palestinians. Also the questionable version of the history of the region that you have to believe (or be completely ignorant of the history) to support the Palestinians is entirely a HAMAS narrative. If you actually knew the history, you would know that while all Palestinians moved to the Levant voluntarily in the last 150 years, most of the Jews in Israel were moved by force by Muslims. If Palestinians were upset by lots of Jews in the Levant, they should be mad at other Muslims countries as they were the ones who moved most Jews there.

You just make these claims to avoid any accountability of your actions. That tracks because the HAMAS narratives completely do the same, so its easier for you to accept.

Great comment

> PS Most of the videos that swayed you were AI generated.

This is an absolutely insane and downright insulting claim to make about anyone. You should feel ashamed of saying something as utterly indefensible as this.

[Rapzid]

Still taking people for a ride. User said "you" but I never offered a position on the matter.

Bot, agitator, troll, or etc Other account the same.

[thrance]

So what you're saying is that Palestinians all deserve to die because they gave their support to HAMAS when their neighbor was slowly colonizing their land and expropriating them. Meanwhile, the US should provide Israel with as much weapons and funding as necessary to help them achieve their overt genocidal agenda. And the people that call for the killings to end are actually just terrorists that you don't have to listen to. Got it.

Speaking of projection, damn...

You don't know anyone who wore the scarf?

> I don't protest to signal my moral outrage, I do it to effect change in my elected leaders.

How'd that work out for you?

[Rover222]

So you want you elected leaders to save Palestinians (perfectly reasonable), but don't want your elected leaders to consider doing something out when thousands are being massacred in the street?

You really think if the US wasn't supporting Israel, no one would have cared about Gaza?

[pessimizer]

> So you want you elected leaders to save Palestinians

I don't want that. I want them to stop paying Israelis with our money to kill Palestinians. If they want to do atrocities, they can do it on their own dime.

[fortzi]

Sorry, but it sounds crazy to me, I don’t know what to make of that.

Do you care about those people or not?

Sorry, unless I’m missing something, what you said just sounds like a cop out.

[ipv6ipv4]

That's because it is a cop out.

When talking about Israel, it's always couched in terms of universal human rights. When confronted with their lack of advocacy for the human rights of practically anyone else, their cognitive fallback is that they only care for what they feel the U.S. government is responsible for, and that it's not really about universal human rights, and never was. Then, when no one is paying attention anymore, they swing back to being avowed universal human rights activists who just happen to be condemning Israel.
