You can be supportive of the people of Palestine without being supportive of the actions of the terrorists who seized control of their government. But yeah, much of it is performative.

I vividly remember Fred Phelps' hate circus protesting on campus at KU when I was there. It was heartbreaking seeing ten year olds hold signs like ALL FAGS GO TO HELL.

so NOW you guys are all agreeing that the same western wartime media that coordinated the same long sad chorus of “WMDS in Iraq!” is suddenly not playing us straight about wartime narratives?

Qusdahl couldn’t have said it any better they/themself.

Let’s think critically here then:

Why would the NYT and other otherwise respected western media initially run with the “Israel did it” narrative then?

For the outrage?

For the clicks?

To pander to the “Muslim, Arab, et al” readers?

For the lulz?

Because of, ultimately, motives of profit and of relentlessly bothsidesing everything to a fine paste, as if there simply must be, per natural law, one measure of X for every measure of Y. And that's why the NYT, and the BBC, and other legacy media, are being raked over the coals. They keep making the same mistakes over and over...and your taking up of (misbegotten) anti-Israel talking points is evidence of just what comes from these mistakes.

And fish, kindly spare me the think critically shtick. I presented you with credible evidence of apartheid, and you responded with:

“no opinion.”

That’s pretty NON-critical thinking, not to mention spineless, and very well may end yourself up on the wrong side of history.

I declined to give an opinion on something I don't know enough about, in my judgment, to give an opinion on. If I end up "on the wrong side of history" for not expressing a baseless opinion on the Politics sub-board of a college basketball message board...I'll accept my fate.
