Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

The libs around me have all of a sudden realized what Isreal is doing is wrong, but they still won't call it a genocide. They also like to deflect to the Russo-Ukrainian war, saying things like "The Israelis are sexually assaulting women and using human shields, just like Putin is doing!"
They recognize Palestine is in the right, but they don't want to disavow Isreal or acknowledge Hamas. I think deep down they know the US and its allies are evil who do evil shit. They just don't want to say it out loud because it would mean they're complicit.
I've come across a few people who think that not liking Netanyahu is a meaningful nuance, as if the occupation was somehow humane and lawful under Ehud Barak or something.
