I know this has been happening for a while from seeing people talk about it, but it’s still kind of eerie to see your comment get ethered in real time.
It was a short comment, not even inflammatory, just said any support for Israel, genocide, or apartheid is a “disaster” (quoting a response). I don’t even know what keywords got it insta-deleted. I’ve used all the words in comments before.
Anyway, fuck Reddit, y’all.
I really don’t care what anyone tells me certain Gazans believed, or if they supported Hamas, or if they celebrated any specific attacks, or if they had reactionary fundamentalist interpretations of Islam, or whatever other bullshit hasbara talking points are trending.
The military actions taken against Palestinians, especially in Gaza, are bad, they are unambiguously genocide, and it is the most unsettling crime of the century.
200k+ Palestinians should not have been murdered since 2023, and another 200k+ should not be condemned by the long tail of mortality that such a destructive war involves.
