What's your biggest hot take on the conflict?
Do you have any hot takes regarding the conflicts or towards/about the bodies in said conflict? Stuff gets thrown around A LOT in this conflict to the point where people bring opinions as facts and vice versa, so I wanted to share some of mine, I don't think they are targeted towards a specific group, and there is some overlap for both sides in the takes:
-NO ONE, Including you, the person reading this, is immune to propaganda. People who are overwhelmingly one sided and think their group can do no wrong is genuinely blind.
-Some people, online and on the streets, are not doing stuff in good faith. It feels like they're being blind to things right in front of them "Just because" which in reality leads to nowhere.
-It feels like 90% of the actions taken and done regarding the conflict help no-one. Not the Palestinians, not the Israelis. They're just noise...
-Saying that there isn't genuine hate beneath this regional conflict, whether it's towards the people, the religion etc from either side is downright delusional. I saw and read with my own eyes anti-semetic comments and remarks from anti-zionists and I saw Islamophobia and anti-arabism from supporters of a two state solution who wish well to the Palestinian people.
I don't know if my takes are enforcing some horse shoe theory or a venn diagram or whatever. I just feel like there is either hypocrisy or stupidity. Maybe both at the same time...
