    Young people are prone to believing propaganda from Hamas because they haven’t been reading the news for a few decades to understand the context. Though you’d think Hamas massacring villages would get people up to speed. But when memes about Palestinians=good, Jews=bad has been circulating the internet for most of someone’s formative years, it’s hard to break out of this pattern.

    Every fourth generation has antisemitism problems because they likely never even met someone who has seen the effects of it. Gaza now looks like the cities of Germany looked like at the end of WWII. Hatred causes destruction, and many times it cause the destruction of one’s self.

    Don’t hate Jews, kids. Jews aren’t our enemies. Those that promote hatred towards Jews are pulling you into something you really don’t want to be a part of.

      Support for Palestine does not equal antisemitism. And it’s incredibly problematic that that’s what you’ve implied here.

      It’s actually more like Hamas = bad Israel = worse Palestinians = victims of genocide

      I wouldn’t label whole ethnicities as good or bad.
