    It’s time we stopped pretending that Israel was a little pocket of Europe and recognize that it’s a brutal theocratic regime. The biggest difference between Israel and States like Saudi Arabia and Iran is the branding.

      I stopped. I was very pro Israel back in the day. Even said “well Israel wants to divide the country while hamas wants all Jews dead… I have to side with the Jews”

      But then they did a genocide and it’s like “well there goes that theory”

      No one likes to be wrong but what’s worse is continuing to be wrong after you know.

      I don’t know the solution but I’ve changed my mind on the problem.
