I think I'm going to take a break from Mastodon. I'm seeing too many "yes, but both sides!" posts about the massacre and I can't deal with it.You can criticise Israel's settlement policies but nothing, absolutely nothing justifies what happened a week ago. Hamas wants to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth and Israel has the right to defend itself. Palestinian civilians die because Hamas uses them as human shields.

I'm also tired of people eager to point out Israel's flaws but don't feel compelled to do the same about its surrounding countries. Israel is (at least for now) the only liberal democracy in the region. A country where you can live relatively savely as a queer person. Arab citizens of Israel have the same civil rights as the Jewish population. Claiming that Israel is an apartheid state is ludicrous.

My impression is that being opposed to Israel because "imperialism" is a trend among some leftists.I know I could / should argue with people I disagree with but I also know that online debates are detrimental to my mental wellbeing. So I think I'm going to take a break for a while.I stand with Israel 🇮🇱

@pezmico @palestine For the record, I support Palestinians' right to having an own sovereign state. I do not support the eradication of the state of Israel.

@ghazi @pezmico @palestine That's simply not true. A two state solution would give them both sovereignty and should be the goal.

@ghazi @pezmico @palestine It's still the only solution I see in this situation. Also, what about the Jewish populations that have been displaced from every single Arab country? And where should the Jewish population of Israel go according to you?

@ghazi @pezmico @palestine Excuse me for being doubtful when Jewish people have been displaced from every single Muslim country in the world that this is going to work.

@ghazi @pezmico @palestine Jewish populations in Muslim countries have been the victims of violence and persecution time and time again. And hate crimes against Jewish people skyrocketing all over the world make prove once again that, yes, we do need a state that is a safe haven for Jewish people.

Hey! There's a person in my life who's struggling badly with still not having found their place/path in their mid 30s. Knowing what they'd like to do, yes, but feeling like they're never gonna get there, just being stuck forever, feeling like a loser, too old to get a chance anymore. So I'm looking for motivational stories from people who managed to find success in life despite starting out late and having the odds stacked against them. Boosts are very much appreciated, thank you ❤

@futurebird All that. And kinda related, I'm embarrassed by every single person driving an SUV or a giant pick-up truck. Yes, we all see how much you define yourself by driving around a big ass car. Pathetic.
