I frequent a football forum and the “world news” thread started kicking off with the Palestinian Israel situation. It started off way too “both sides” so I jumped in with a fuck load of links to the heinous shit Israel has committed over the last few years along with something like “with shit like this it’s no wonder Hamas has been able to recruit.”
The forum thread took a hard pro Palestine turn. There was a couple of pro Israel posters in the thread making the normal antisemitic accusations and general bullshit and their arguments were getting utterly destroyed by pretty much everyone in the thread.
Posting works folks. Make sure you push back, particularly in smaller online communities where it’s easier to get through and discuss one on one, you will change minds even if it’s not the person you’re engaging with. People are absorbing propaganda by osmosis. Its so important to push back when you have the opportunity.
Oh right, i literally just grabbed a bunch of news articles from the last few years

Hosptial: “So anyway, i started blasting”
I will never be able to wrap my head around the mental gymnastics these dipshits have to go through to justify this shit. Its absolutely absurd.
