Shay Davidai has more guts (& integrity) in his pinky toe than all those american propali (Pro-Hamas Pro-Violence PRO-TERRORISM) radical leftist protesters COMBINED have ever had in their entire lives. Pathetic, Racist, VIOLENT Losers.
The man had mental health issues that probably have a connection to his service in the army, he needed help that he didn’t receive and you should be talking about that.
A man in Israel tried to burn himself aswell a few years ago because of his service in the IDF, and before you say “it’s because he was in a genocidal army!” No it’s because that watching people die wether it’s your enemy or your friend has an affect.
I will tell you the reason: they are lacking meaning in their lives and it is fulfilled by protests

Imagine if they used half that energy to help their community: clean the streets, go to city planning meetings, organized a party or literally anything that would improve their and their friends' lives
Leftists: Everyone is a little bigoted. Bigotry is deeply integrated into our society. Everyone picks up on it. You have to actively unlearn it. Check your bias. Your intentions might be good, but you're not immune to bigotry learnt since childhood. Even if you're an activist already. Even if you have friends from the minority. Listen to marginalized voices. Take the critisism. This is the only way to overcome our internalized prejudices.
my biggest gripe with the pro palestinian movement is the lying. you can have empathy and feel remorse for gazans without lying and peddling every antisemetic trope in the book
you can realise that palestinian arabs did not kindly welcome jews who made aliyah before and after the shoah, they are not indigenous or the canaanites, they have been violent against israelis and jews, a lot of them do support hamas, the nakba was a war started by palestinians that they lost to israel, the palestinian national identity is reactionary to the israeli national identity, palestinians are not genetically distinct grom other arabs in the middle east, palestine is literally a colonial name given to the land by the romans to mock the jews living there to sever our connection to the land and STILL have empathy for palestinians. you can realise that they arent a perfect innocent victim and still have empathy for them. the source of their suffering isnt israel or jews, its the antisemitic and imperialistic goals of islamist leaders AND STILL. FEEL. REMORSE
if you need to distort the history of this land and its people and use antisemitic tropes in order to support palestine, you are the fucking problem!!!!! arabs are to the middle east what white people are to the west, and they are not victims just be they face oppression if they live in the west. go speak to any person from the indigenous populations of the middle east and levant and they can tell u all abt what islamism and arabs have done to them snd their families if u refuse to believe us sneaky lying je- i mean zionists. oh wait, its gonna be so hard to do that bc the arab world is doing everything in its power to kill them all
tl dr, you dont need to lie to have empathy for palestinians. you can accept the dirty past of palestinians (just as many israelis still love this country despite it flaws, less then pretty history and incompetent, corrupt government) and still empathise and believe in their self determination alongside jewish and israeli self determination. the need to lie, distort and discredit the jewish and israeli story shows your true (antisemetic) colors
(this is a rant from feb that u put on my insta story, thought it should be seen here)
"Two million people have been killed in the Sudan Civil War, I haven't seen a protest at NYU for that. Assad killed 500,000 Arabs I didn't see colleges burn down. Saddam Hussein killed over a million Muslims in wars, I didn't see a protest there, yet your school is shut down right now because Israel is responding to the worst attack against Jews since the Holocaust"
Hey sorry for unfollowing you, I really didn't want to and I still love your blog however you want me and my people dead simply for existing and I still tried to tolerate it for a while for some reason, but I guess I'm just tired of you wanting me gone. Darn.
