My guy, us jews never had good will with anyone. We have always been used as tokens for politican leverage. Our tendency to form insular communities and be secretive is a survival strategy selected for by the extensive history of governments using us as a lever and then disposing of us once we are no longer useful.

Also, you write as if you think I support Israel, as if I have some personal stake in the success of this genocide when I explicitly stated I'm against it. To be quite honest, it comes off as anti-semitic when you clearly have a deep well of anger and you're just waiting to unload on the first jew you see. I'll say it again, I am strictly anti-Israel. Do you think you're saying anything to me that I haven't already heard a thousand times? Do you think that I don't already agree with you? Guess what... I do agree with you, but I don't agree with your strategy of lobbing anger at anyone who doesn't have their mind shut to the nuance of the situation. I wish you would take a step back and think about what's driving you to act this way. I don't think that you think you're spreading awareness here, changing people's minds, or anything of that sort. Dopamine-seeking political vitriol is harmful for society. The people who really call the shots when it comes to this shit have weaponized social disconnectivity against us and when you let loose like this, you are playing directly into their hand.

If you see and know all of this then why would you fly a flag of foreign country that is committing war crimes.

There is a disconnect here?

Do you think I fly an Israeli flag? Did I ever indicate this?

I assumed you were the same guy I replied too.

Your reply makes no sense then.

Take a look at the reply chain. It's just been us.

Then my point still stands. You can view israeli flag however you want. It got a new meaning now in the mainstream and it is pretty fucking disgusting.

Yet people think it is acceptable to fly it as some sort of pride shit. Jfc. Get a fucking clue, adjust to current reality.

Sure, but you've missed my point entirely. It shouldn't be an invitation for crime. Nor should any other flag besides those regarding situations devoid of nuance, such as the nazi flag or perhaps the confederate flag.

I discussed usage of Israeli flag. You came at me about tone of my post.
