[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh man. This is happening to me too. I’m totally fine with people wanting a ceasefire and being mad at Netanyahu - who sucks and I agree about ceasefire - but the folks who are insinuating that there’s any justification for killing civilians (on either side) or throwing around terms like ‘open air prison’ and suggesting the Israelis are white occupiers (they are the same color as Palestinians) I’m kind of done with. I would not be having a conversation. I just unfollowed and it’s done.

[b]From my pov it’s very easy to support a 2 state solution, be anti killing civilians, be anti terrorist. Honestly anyone who has some other hot take pov I just want them to be quiet[/b] [/quote]

This is how I feel about the matter, but I’ve definitely seen some of my Jewish friends posting on social media the effect that anything beyond 100% support of Israel is antisemitic. I can read their comments on news articles that are very anti-Palestine. It’s not even enough to just stay out of it while they process their feelings, but I’ve seen numerous disturbing statuses that all their friends who are staying silent and not outwardly supporting Israel are the same people who would stand by and let the Nazis kill Jews during the holocaust.

So I think there‘a a lot of strong rhetoric from the Israel can do not wrong and the Palestine is an open air prison sides with people with a more in the middle view feeling like they can’t win. And when someone like OP’s friend tries to speak out or show support for the concern calling things antisemitic can have a chilling effect on free speech, you have idiots like her husband pounding his chest and declaring his viewpoint the only right viewpoint.[/quote]
