    Anyone with a conscience who sees the footage coming out of Gaza and hears the rhetoric of Israel’s politicians, and the rhetoric coming from Israel’s defenders will inevitably be sickened beyond their core.

      Obviously, the solution is to simply not do that. Don’t watch the Gaza footage. Don’t listen to Israeli politicians. Don’t pay attention to the rhetoric from Israel’s defenders. Fixate exclusively on some Arab teenager in a balaclava carrying an AK, then tell yourself “This person wants to do a Full Hitler and we must eliminate him at all costs”.

      Fully internalize the narratives of the Iraq War, by labeling everyone standing under an Israel bomb or in the path of a sniper’s bullet as an “enemy combatant”, without exception.

        I’ve legit hit a wall with my mother when discussing Gaza and Israel at this point. She somehow fully believes everything that Israel says (including the whole “theres Hamas hiding under the hospitals”) while also believing the conflict is 1000 years old and due to religious doctrines getting in the way. I’ve just given up trying to explain anything other than “read israeli newspapers and listen to their politicians, they sound like fucking Goebbels”.
